NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - August 12, 2014) - Digital Imaging Reporter Magazine, in their July/August 2014 edition, has awarded B&H Photo-Video its prestigious "2014 E-tailer of the Year" honor. This annual award recognizes one stand-out retailer who has had a significant impact online and has made significant success in its online ventures. B&H Photo-Video was chosen because of their 40-year customer-focused customer-first sales and marketing philosophy which has been seamlessly extended to their online presence. Their robust website, www.bandh.com/ combines the very best in product information, how-to articles and videos, and ease of use for shoppers. This is augmented by the site's robust LiveChat feature, weekly "Ask B&H" forums and by its popular Event Space which features free live discussions and teaching sessions on products and techniques.

Their blogs have recently been combined into a single Explora section of their site at http://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/. This includes news, product announcements, in-depth exploration of products and techniques, and other features designed to make the consumer's "e-tail" experience excellent.
