Garrett Popcorn Honored With 2012 IAC Award for "Best Retail Website"

PARK RIDGE, IL--(Marketwire - Mar 27, 2012) - Americaneagle.com today announced that the firm, along with Garrett Popcorn, has been awarded the 2012 Internet Advertising Competition Award for "Best Retail Website" for the design of the Garrett Popcorn Shop website, located at www.garrettpopcorn.com.

The Internet Advertising Competition (IAC) Awards are produced by the Web Marketing Association to honor excellence in online advertising, recognize the individuals and organizations responsible, and showcase the best in award winning digital production. The Web Marketing Association's expert judges selected the project based on seven criteria: creativity, innovation, design, copywriting, use of medium, memorability, and impact.

The Garrett Popcorn site was compared with all of the sites within the industry and medium and selected as the "Best Retail Website" for 2012.

The award-winning Garrett Popcorn website features an interactive, dynamic Tin Builder Application that allows Garrett Popcorn customers to personalize their tin. The application walks the user through each step, from tin color and design to dollar amount, to the size and delicious flavor(s) desired, all the way through check-out. It also enables customers to ship a single order or send to multiple recipients. With these features and many others, the site has succeeded in making the check-out and popcorn-buying process easy and fun for online shoppers both young and old.

Americaneagle.com CEO Tony Svanascini said, "We here at Americaneagle.com are very proud to have achieved this result, given that thousands entered this contest and the IAC's high standards and level of respect in the online industry. Garret Popcorn has been a part of our family for many years and we are thankful they allowed us to create this fantastic, fun website for them."
