Read on to discover the 15 winners of the 2020 Yotpo Partner awards and learn about the outstanding work they did for the most innovative eCommerce brands.
The Yotpo Partner Awards: Then and Now
The Yotpo Partner Awards have evolved alongside the growth of our Partner Program to include fifteen awards that span the full range of our global community from North America to EMEA to APAC. With categories for overall excellence, expertise in every major eCommerce platform, digital marketing, design, and seamless tech integrations, the program is a product of our incredible partner community and is a reflection of its massive growth.
Each year, the winners of the Yotpo Partner Awards continue to raise the bar. Whether it’s boundary-pushing design, the most innovative strategies, or the leading technology, our winners consistently represent the best of the eCommerce industry — and this year is no exception.
This year, we are proud to have received a record number of submissions from partners all over the world. With a 120% increase in submissions from partners in 20 countries, the competition was stiffer than ever. All submissions were evaluated by a panel of nine judges that included Yotpo CEO and Co-Founder Tomer Tagrin and representatives from all facets of eCommerce, including Product, Partnerships, Design, Strategy, Customer Success, and Marketing. From meticulous work built on the leading eCommerce platforms to exceptional design and cutting-edge marketing strategies that tap Yotpo solutions, these partners truly stand out.
Celebrating Innovative eCommerce Experiences
The Partner Awards are not only a showcase of the best of our partner ecosystem, they’re also a celebration of seamless shopping experiences, unique engagement opportunities, and innovative marketing strategies created for some of the most preeminent eCommerce brands.
From Nuun’s community-focused loyalty program to American Hat Makers’ tailored SMS marketing strategy, our winning partners produced sophisticated experiences with Yotpo’s eCommerce marketing platform that translated into higher conversion and ROI for brands.
In fact, some results are so outstanding, they’re worth rebranding an award for: To reflect the explosive growth of SMS as the highest converting marketing channel and to highlight our winner’s expert mastery of the medium, our Rising Star Award has now become the Rising Star – SMS Marketing Award, highlighting exciting work in mobile engagements.
