- Best customer service, including after care services
- Best for generating hits with products, marketing and deals
- Innovation

Our 2020 finalists are:
Amazon
Amazon’s decision to add multiple payment options was a real example of the company’s desire to give flexibility and choice to customers who also benefit from a range of features, such as one-day shipping. All of this contributed to the decision to award Amazon a Highly Commended Award.
Mobiles.co.uk
Mobiles.co.uk’s submission demonstrated, rather fittingly, a mobile-first approach and impressive market share coupled with real creativity in communications.
MusicMagpie
MusicMagpie’s online store challenges the definition of an online retailer, offering all the advantages of recycled technology with an attractive user interface that is driving impressive results.
O2
O2’s entry highlighted the operator’s clear desire to drive online sales over the past year. The investment in technology and design really shone through and was supported by impressive conversion rates and financial performance.
The iOutlet
The iOutlet’s focus on the Apple ecosystem, coupled with impressive growth and conversions was all noted by our judges.
The winner of our 2020 Best Online Retailer is…O2!
Mobile Industry Awards Director Mark Fermor said: “For years we have talked about omnichannel strategies and the need for brands to deliver the service, experience and value demanded by consumers. I was really impressed by O2’s ability to double down and invest on its infrastructure and User Interface, both of which resulted in impressive growth and conversions.”
