In order to address those concerns Best Buy has made numerous changes for this holiday shopping season, including extending their return policy for purchases made before Christmas, cross-training store employees to provide general customer assistance on the sales floor, operators for each store who are trained in customer service and able to pull up inventory information. In November the company launched BestBuy.com/espanol, a Spanish language version of their Website. In addition to providing a bilingual experience on their site, it's also intended to connect Spanish speaking visitors with customer service representatives who can assist with everything from using the website to finding items in stores.
Other additions include what the company describes as “complete gift solutions,” which include in-store tools to help consumers identify accessories that go with purchased items (such as a memory card for a digital camera).
“We start holiday planning 11 months in advance so we can provide the very best experience possible,” said president/COO Brian Dunn. “Our holiday approach is focused on bringing our customers complete gift solutions by offering a wide range of products, knowledgeable sales associates, and premium service to customers whether it’s in store, online or through our phone channel.”
