Would allow customers to offer ideas on the spot, as they have an experience that spawns that idea. 198 Joshua Kahn 2009-05-28 13:19:37 UTC 10 true 205 ideax 10 2972 2009-10-14 06:40:28 UTC 6 15 It'd be cool if... Whoever generates and posts an idea on IdeaX, that makes a BestBuy difference in the long run, eventually receives a certificate with $25 redeemable credit via email good towards a purchase after the idea is considered, reviewed, and set in motion. 1226 Houston 2009-10-01 06:30:35 UTC 12 false 205 ideax 4 3724 2009-11-13 05:21:57 UTC 5 11 Too many ideas get lost in idea-traffic.<br/>Maybe ... <br/>-After X-amount of time if an idea doesn't have Y-amount of votes it should be removed ... ?<br/>This will also eliminated concerns that are posted as ideas (i.e wishlists, store issues, questions, etc)<br/>-Ideas could, of course, always be retyped and reposted by users.<br/>*Sometimes an idea may do better at a different time, with different wordchoice, presentation, etc 856 anndee 2009-08-16 04:41:32 UTC 18 false 205 ideax 3 2975 2009-10-14 06:51:21 UTC 3 8 Maybe ... <br/>After X-amount of time if an idea doesn't have Y-amount of votes it should be removed ... <br/>HUA? 856 anndee 2009-08-16 04:41:32 UTC 18 false 205 ideax 1 4507 2009-12-25 11:45:54 UTC 3 7 I'd like to know if and when an idea from this site actually added benefits to the store or company as a whole. Maybe one store looked through an idea and adopted it, maybe the company tested an idea from the site and loved it. We would like to know when ideas given to the company are used. 1708 scafs 2009-12-21 14:13:49 UTC 8 false 205 ideax 0 4431 2009-12-19 07:09:39 UTC 5 7 Please educate Best Buy employees about this site.

There has been no feedback since August. That's three months lacking news.<br/>If IdeaX slacks off, the feed back may too; that was the intention afterall. 840 BBY01-960 2009-08-12 04:54:02 UTC 70 false 205 ideax 1 4341 2009-12-14 07:06:30 UTC 2 6 I think this site is very useful, but wonder why it's not on the front page of the Best Buy website? Best Buy should feature it more prominently on the website. Perhaps a feature break out on the front page, or at least some sort of link similar to the &quot;we'll call you back&quot; at the bottom of the other pages. 1656 whurley 2009-12-13 23:41:21 UTC 58 false 205 ideax 1 1255 2009-08-06 13:05:59 UTC 4 6 Ideas come at all times of the day and night and many times, when you are away from your desktop computer. I would like to be able to enter an idea from my mobile with either a voice note, barcode, photo, web clipping, or traditional text entry. So how about a fun, easy to use and fast mobile interface to get those insights flowing from the field in real time? 784 ATX 2009-08-03 23:46:37 UTC 6 false 205 ideax 4 4340 2009-12-14 07:03:50 UTC 7 5 I would like to see Best Buy create the &quot;GreenSquad&quot;, like GeekSquad but for green products, service, and installation. They could install solar panels, and other energy products for homes in the local are of the store. Seems like this is something that Best Buy would be very interested in. 1656 whurley 2009-12-13 23:41:21 UTC 58 false 205 ideax 0 4334 2009-12-14 04:44:20 UTC 4 5 One of the things I find redundant and slightly annoying is the process of giving the clerk my phone number in front of (and ear shot of) all of the other customers in line so that my purchases can be linked to my RewardZone account. This has actually resulted in someone I do not know calling me after &quot;over hearing&quot; my number. <br/><br/>I would like to see Best Buy link my credit card to this information (I only use one of two when at the stores). So that instead of the current process, I could just swipe my card and then the RZ info would automatically be matched. 1656 whurley 2009-12-13 23:41:21 UTC 58 false 205 ideax 0 4447 2009-12-21 05:24:24 UTC 4 5 I'll bet a large percentage of people who visit IdeaX don't contribute because they don't feel like creating a whole new account just for this part of the Best Buy website.. If we could use our existing Rewards Zone login for IdeaX, it'd make things easier for the people who at least are a Rewards Zone member (I'd imagine quite a few of the people who come here are). 1705 Casey Keller 2009-12-21 05:13:16 UTC 5 false 205 ideax 3 5158 2010-02-09 06:32:25 UTC 1 4 Unfortunately, even though Best Buy employees try to help all their customers they all aren’t always helped. If there was an interactive station which includes: LCD touch screen, speakers, mic, headset, and more. This will allow the customer to get the best experience possible. <br/><br/>Example: Bob goes into Best Buy just to get a wireless router, but when he gets in the computer department there is no one to help. So he looks around and sees the NEED HELP center. He then clicks on the network icon and it will assist him on getting the right router. And if he requires additional help, then a live specialist will appear on screen to answer any questions. Also the customer can also scan products at this station for price check. Also it will display a map like view for each product that is searched to make it easier to find. And if the customer needs a Geek Squad Agent to set up the network then the live specialist on screen will set up appointments and take their payment with a credit card swipe or cash.<br/><br/>Will have discounts, coupons, gift cards and other depending on how long they had to wait.<br/><br/>Each department will have a few stations designed specifically for each department i.e., music/movie dept will allow customer to scan disc and get a preview. 2023 ojsteel 2010-02-09 05:19:56 UTC 15 false 205 ideax 3 4200 2009-12-05 04:07:41 UTC 4 4 With all Reward Zone members:<br/> When we go to check out, in stores, with our reward zone card or phone number, it not only give us points for our purchase, but it automatically takes off, or brings up, any reward zone coupons and certificates that we have in the packages grey box (on the register monitor) at the end of our sale that gives us the option to choose to use or save up our reward zone certificates or coupons. Also, like a bank we would receive a statement via e-mail telling us our point balance and what certificates we have used/not used.<br/>This would be convenient in that it would save on paper, more-so than switching to online rewardzone through e-mail did, it would stop all confusion with reward zone accounts altogether (as far as the how-tos, or troubleshooting and not being able to sign onto myrewards online), and it would make for simpler check out with not having to dig for coupons at the check out and/or have left them at home to expire. 1604 fr0_g7 2009-12-05 04:08:45 UTC 2 false 205 ideax 0 4739 2010-01-08 06:16:05 UTC 5 4 Hold an annual face-to-face/video streamed/Tweeted conference at BBY headquarters with IDEAX contributors and BBY team members. Review ideas and create breakout groups to work on actual business challenges various departments are facing. Think of the group gathering not as a bunch of people to further a strategic corporate objective but rather a group of passionate and intelligent thinkers that are interested in contributing to the identification of corporate strategies. 1417 Todd Tweedy 2009-11-13 17:13:10 UTC 23 false 205 ideax 0 4337 2009-12-14 06:33:44 UTC 6 4 It would be great if you guys could expand the 'Apple Computer' section of Best Buy stores. The ones in Austin have the basic models, but the accessories section is a little sparse. It would be nice to see Best Buy offer competitive prices on things like GDrives, and other &quot;traditionally Apple&quot; accessories. The Apple store prices are artificially high on some items due to the lack of competition and I would gladly purchase them from Best Buy if they were made available in the store. 1656 whurley 2009-12-13 23:41:21 UTC 58 false 205 ideax 1 2490 2009-09-17 16:16:32 UTC 4 4 with so many people bringing great ideas, IdeaX should break down ideas by category and show all the list of contributors. 849 AlexX_Undead 2009-08-13 21:19:15 UTC 66 false 205 ideax 0 1857 2009-08-29 16:12:32 UTC 4 4 I would like to be able to go back to previously submitted ideas and further develop an them within the main description field (not the comments) and also edit tags. An idea should be a living, breathing, growing thing rather than a one time, stagnant mind bite. What I recommend is that a version # be applied to every instance of an edit to an idea so the history of the idea is shown inline. 784 ATX 2009-08-03 23:46:37 UTC 6 false 205 ideax 5 4430 2009-12-19 07:06:15 UTC 7 4 Please make the Best Buy IdeaX website work on computers at Best Buy. Tonight I told an employee about the site and when he pulled it up on the store computer it looked like this: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/whurley/4196968856/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/whurley/4196968856/</a> 1656 whurley 2009-12-13 23:41:21 UTC 58 false 205 ideax 1 3228 2009-10-25 00:05:22 UTC 3 3 Go to 'TAGS' in the main menu here and look for 'computer', notice there's a 'computers' also. At present the total tags for both combined eguals 30 which would move it to 3rd place instead of being in 6th and 11th. Just seems important in analysis. They should be grouped under non-plural. 1346 clint317 2009-10-25 00:05:59 UTC 1 false 205 ideax 2
