4.9 stars out of 5 isn't bad for this Australian e-tailer.
Beginning Boutique has been awarded Google Trusted Store badge, a free certification which helps online shoppers seek out online stores that offer an exceptional shopper experience.
It will join fellow Australians The Iconic and Surf Stitch who are also part of the program.
Demonstrating a track record of reliable shipping and excellent customer service were the major winning points for honouring Beginning Boutique with the award.
Google Trusted Stores is free to consumers and retailers alike, allowing customers the option of selecting free purchase protection of up to $1000.
Beginning Boutique owner and director, Sarah Timmerman believes it's a sign that hard work investing in customer service has paid off.
“We pride ourselves on our top notch customer service and this is the online equivalent of good word of mouth. It’s another way to show shoppers we have a good reputation and can be trusted”.
The badge will be displayed on the store's website and aims to boost traffic and sales.
Beginning Boutique scored 4.9 stars out of 5 during the monitoring period of the scheme.
