1. GPeC 2015 professional e-commerce worth 2.500 EUR

Your online shop will be evaluated agains the most complex jury evaluation criteria (over 120 criteria essential to any online business), GPeC being among the few e-commerce competitions in the world offering such a complex and transparent evalution system.

It is true that after the 8 months of competition, only a few of the online shops registered with the GPeC Online Shops Competition will be among the Winners of the Year in E-Commerce celebrate during the GPeC 2015 Romanian E-Commerce Awards Gala, BUT no matter if they are among the winners or not, all online shops participating in GPeC receive jury evaluation reports, benefiting from a really professional e-commerce audit of their online business.

Such an audit done by some of the best e-commerce specialists – the GPeC jury members – would cost a minimum of 2.500 EUR if you weren’t registered with the GPeC 2015 Online Shops Competition!

• 20+ e-commerce specialists analyse online shops registered with the GPeC 2015 Online Shops Competition;
• each of the 120+ evaluation criteria is graded and evaluated;
• apart from the grades given for each evaluation item, the jury members offer detailed explanations and recommendations in the jury report;
• the evaluation is done in 2 stages at different moments in time in order to observe the evolution of the online shops in time;
• you receive evaluation reports as well as a benchmark of your position compared to the competition;

You will find out exactly what the strengths and weaknesses of your online shops are so you will know exactly which issues you need to fix and how in order to sell more online!

2. GPeC E-Commerce Consultancy Meetings – specialised e-commerce consultancy for your online shop from specialists

GPeC is much more than an online shops competition! GPeC helps you optimize your online shop real time!

Apart from the short explanations and recommendations offered by jury members in the 2 evaluation reports, online shops registered with the GPeC 2015 Online Shops Competition have the opportunity to discuss jury evaluation reports with the exact specialists that analysed them.

• After each evaluation stage, the GPeC E-Commerce Consultancy Meetings take place where online shops can meet face to face with the exact jury members that evaluated their online business in order to discuss the audit, this way receiving explanations for the grades given and recommendations to grow their online business;
• Each online shop has 60 minutes of dialogue with jury specialists when he can ask additional questions (apart from the ones strictly referring to the jury evaluation reports) – shortly, they receive specialised e-commerce consultancy;
• Online shops who cannot participate in person at GPeC E-Commerce Consultancy Meetings, have the possibility to ask questions directly via email to the jury members who evaluated their online shop.

Warning: Although we do everything in our power to reunite all the 20 GPeC jury members during the same day, it proves a real challenge to coordinate everyone’s agendas. Therefore, some of the jury members may not be able to participate in person at the meetings, BUT all of them will answer via e-mail or via Skype to the questions and uncertainties online shops might have.

According to previous editions participants’ feedback, GPeC E-Commerce Consultancy Meetings are extremely useful for any online shop and are a must-attend as you rarely get the chance to talk face to face with e-commerce specialists – people with extensive e-commerce experience and know-how who can offer ideas, advice, consultancy regarding all you need in order to sell more online.
