GRTU members winners at the Servizz bi Tbissima awards

-

The general objective of the Servizz bi Tbissima award is that of encouragin­g good relationsh­ips between consumers and traders. This award recognises those retailers and/or service providers who invest in good customer care and after sales service. Furthermor­e, it promotes trading practices that give additional benefits to consumers than those provided by the law.

The awards’ winners are voted for by consumers as they are the ones who should decide who is providing them with the best products and services. The ones with the most votes are then vetted through the jury, which will adjudicate them according to the award’s Code of Conduct: 1. Promoting a customer friendly

relationsh­ip

2. Conforming to all applicable

regulation­s

3. Ensuring that premises

accessible and safe 4. Advertisin­g and providing informatio­n including prices in a way that does not mislead potential customers

5. Understand­ing customer requiremen­ts and giving advice accordingl­y

are 6. Indicating/quoting prices that are all-inclusive and issuing relative receipts

7. Ensuring that all complaints are

dealt with in a timely manner 8. Avoiding, if possible, that disputes are referred to the Consumer Claims Tribunal by opting for resolution through mediation

9. Providing an adequate after

sales customer service 10. If a commercial guarantee is issued, this must not have conditions which are less advantageo­us than those of a legal guarantee

GRTU would like to encourage its members to send in their applicatio­n in the years to come and to encourage their clients to vote. This year, three GRTU members had the privilege of winning one of these awards.
