Zoobashop.com, Ghana’s premier and largest online retail store was awarded E-Commerce Company of the year by the Charted Institute of Marketing, Ghana (CIMG) over the weekend.

This marks the second time that Zoobashop is winning this award since the award was given out for the first time ever in 2014.

Zoobashop.com snatched this award away from other e-commerce companies and it was adjudged number 1 for the year in review 2015.

Launched in December 2013, the solely Ghanaian-owned online store has worked assiduously to make online shopping appealing to the naturally conservative Ghanaian.

Its Cash on Delivery payment option for instance, allows shoppers to make a cash commitment only after their orders have been delivered. This method of payment appeased a good number of shoppers, cynical of electronic payment due to the high rate of credit card fraud, the world over.

The award was received at the 27th Chartered Institute of Marketing, Ghana (CIMG) Awards held on Saturday October 8th, 2016, at the Banquet Hall, State House - Accra. The annual black tie event seeks to pat on their backs, entities in Corporate Ghana, who show marketing prowess in their bid to satisfy their customers.

Receiving the award on behalf of Zoobashop, Albert Biga, the company’s CEO commented on how happy the Zoobashop team was to win the award once again and also took time to thank their customers for the support they had shown the company through-out the year.

He said “The team at zoobashop.com is very proud of being adjudged the CIMG E-Commerce Company of the year for the second year running. We share this award with our loyal customers and promise to continue serving our “awesome” trademark service EVERYDAY."

Director of Operations at Zoobashop, Mr. Andrew Aguda said in an interview after the awards, “We did not rest on our oars after winning the maiden version of this prestigious award in 2015. The hard work has paid off and we are super excited about being adjudged the best e-commerce company for the second consecutive year. We will continually seek new ways to delight our customers with better variety, more convenience and above all, excellent service”.

After receiving this award, the Zooba team look forward to introducing new products and innovations in the world of online shopping in their never-ending mission to fulfill all their customer’s needs.
