WELCOME

Welcome once again to The BT Retail Week Technology Awards; rewarding your retail innovations.
 
The past year has been challenging, and with the rapid evolution of technology, traditional retailers across the UK have had to develop their technology provisions in order to keep up with the growing pressure from consumers. New and improved websites, loyalty programmes, in-store technology, mobile channels and a whole host of other developments that you have delivered, have changed the shape of retail as we know it.

The BT Retail Week Technology Awards 2012 are your national platform to shout about your achievements in technology development. If you have made it easier for customers to shop with you, understood customer requirements, or have implemented an initiative that you think the market should sit up and take notice of; then enter the awards today.

There are 12 categories to choose from including the NEW Marketing and Customer Insight Solution of the Year. These awards are free to enter and open to both retailers and suppliers in partnership with retailers.

Enter today to:

• Boost the morale of your staff and reward them for their hard work over the past year
• Reap the benefits of extra publicity by being associated with this high profile accolade
• Prove to your peers that you are at the forefront of retail technology by submitting an entry
