Certification from an objective third party
2. Trusted Online Shop, certified by TRUSTED.ro
TRUSTED.ro is a certification service for the online shops that comply with the legislation and good practices in e-commerce, initiated by GPeC together with Legi-Internet.ro and the Association for Consumer Protection (APC Romania) in 2011. At present, up to 200 Romanian online shops respect the Trusted standards by displaying the “Trusted Shop” logo by Trusted.ro on their websites.
The TRUSTED standards are legal obligations under the European directives in force, but also under the E-Commerce good practices - generally valid for online shops. The TRUSTED.ro set of standards make the pre-selection criteria for the GPeC Competition, criteria that all online shops must meet.
- The online shops that want to participate in the GPeC Competition will be audited in terms of meeting the pre-selection criteria, right after signing up. We will help you meet every standard so that you comply with the main legislative rules (you will know exactly what the law requires and what you have to do to avoid fines).
- Moreover, once you meet the pre-selection criteria, we will grant you the “Trusted Shop” mark by Trusted.ro for free for 12 months so that you can grow your reputation and credibility among consumers (you save 240€ + taxes - the cost of receiving the Mark without signing up for the GPeC Competition).
- Aside from the “Trusted Shop” mark, you can implement for free for 12 months the “Trusted Reviews from the Online Shops Customers” System that helps you collect feedback and reviews from your clients.
The GpeC Competition helps you optimize you online shop in real time
3. The GPeC Mentorship Sessions - advised consulting from E-Commerce & Digital Marketing experts for your business
Aside from the brief comments and clarifications provided by the members of the GPeC Jury in the two evaluation reports, the online shops signed up for the GPeC competition have the opportunity to discuss the reports with the specialists that analyzed them, thus receiving advised consulting about how to optimize their website and increase conversion rates.
- Following each of the evaluation stages, online shops meet face-2-face with the Jury members to discuss the evaluation report during the GPeC Mentorship sessions, when they can receive feedback about their scores and get recommendations about how to improve their websites.
- Each online shop will have approximately 120 minutes for talking with the specialists in the Jury, while they can ask extra questions (aside from those strictly referring to the evaluation report).
- The GPeC Mentorship sessions allow access to the best E-Commerce & Digital Marketing specialists in Romania, who will act as mentors for the online shops representatives and will assist them in their growth journey throughout the 2021 GPeC Competition.
According to the feedback received from past participants, the GPeC Mentorship sessions are extremely useful for any online shop and shouldn't be missed because it is a rare occasion to discuss face-2-face with the specialists - people with vast experience in E-Commerce & Digital Marketing that can help you with advice, ideas and consulting about what to do to sell more.
