preezie has received a Highly Commended gong at this year’s Finder Innovation Awardsin the coveted Best Retail Innovation category. The Melbourne-founded ecommerce solutions company received one of the highest overall scores following careful judging of nearly 200 entries.
Its suite of retail marketing solutions were a big hit with judges, with the groundbreaking nextbuy widget receiving the lion’s share of praise.
The widget provides merchants with a low-cost alternative to Google Ads that significantly reduces the cost of customer acquisition for retailers.
It does this by providing exclusive access to low-cost referrals from the checkout pages of popular participating retailers.
This has enabled brands within the nextbuy network to slash their cost per acquisition by a staggering 60%.
The company already boasts an impressive portfolio of partnerships including Canon, Guitar Center, Blue Bungalow, Triumph Lingerie, Hairhouse and 2XU.
In securing a Highly Commended award from judges, preezie has cemented its position as one of the most innovative brands in the retail space.
One judge said: “The rising cost of digital advertising is a hot topic at the moment, so preezie's nextbuy solution is particularly appealing.
“It really has a chance to influence likeminded systems and drive positive change.”
Congratulations to preezie on a well-deserved win!
