OzBargain Awards (for Retailers)

I know we have Member awards, but what about awards for Retailers who have provided amazing deals with great service for the year (or half)?

I got the idea while i've been traveling, and have seen that some businesses have awards from trip advisor displaying their rating. Some just have the basic trip advisor window sticker too, which might give ozb more exposure.

On the other hand (assuming it doesn't have legal ramifications) there could be awards for crappy retailers, similar to the choice shonky awards. For example convenient "pricing errors"/bait and switch from a large computer company rhyming with Mell. Getting a shonky award from Australias largest bargain hunting website might make the issue more of a priority for both the Retailer and the ACCC.

Opinions?

    We awarded the best Rep to Shopping EXPRESS last year, and agree that good merchants should be recognised. Maybe once a year thing? As of OzBargain shonky awards, well I think we have already seen many of these in the forums where people make complains.

      Once a year or maybe twice? sounds like a good idea but maybe top5 or top3.
      But I agree with you on not including a 'Shonky award' style thing, people are quite nasty at some companies already I think it will just breed more hatred and hive mind attitude.

    If there were monthly awards for best retailer, would that prompt the retailers to give a better deal in order to achieve better advertising and service?
