High-Quality Images to Top E-Retailers
TEWKSBURY, MA – August 21, 2009 – Mirror Image® Internet, a leading provider of content delivery solutions powered by a patented global network, today announced that Internet Retailer magazine has named the company a 2009 Top 500 Vendor Leader in the Content Delivery Network (CDN) category for the third year in a row. This recognition is based on the number of e-retailers in Internet Retailer’s annual Top 500 Guide that cited Mirror Image as their CDN vendor.
Internet Retailer's definitive ranking and analysis of America's 500 largest e-retailers is based on annual 2008 Internet sales, researched by Internet Retailer and confirmed by retailers. The listing profiles vendors in 21 technology and services categories this year, with the top three vendors in each category being determined by the frequency with which suppliers were cited by merchants in this year`s Top 500 Guide.
According to data from this year’s guide, the top three providers named in each of the 21 technology and services categories served anywhere from 17 to 458 of the Top 500 retailers. This year, Internet Retailer added three new categories to the 2009 research: customer reviews and forums, live chat/click-to-call, and personalization.
In a feature article published in the August 2009 issue of Internet Retailer, Mirror Image was recognized as one of the top three vendors in the CDN category.
