  • Internally they use Forums such such as Geek Squad Forums and “Best Buy Community” which is a place to ask questions and to exchange ideas, information, opinions and tips with other technology users
  • Wikis like the Best Buy “Loop Marketplace” which is for employee suggestions (an electronic suggestion box), as well as stock market simulation game where instead of trading stocks, employs post predictions of what will be hot in the future and other employees value those ideas by buying them.
  • Video’s such as the internal competition for “best video” to encourage employees to sign up to the pension plan
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • “harness the energy”
  • they encourage their employees to use Twitter to spread the Best Buy brand… and by the way they have no Twitter policy! One of the multiple Twitter accounts they run  is called “Twelpforce” which is used for customer service.
  • The Best Buy Over 1 million fans conversing with no moderation mostly sharing positive comments like, “Geek squad baby,” “Bought a laptop today,” “Great company!” A few exceptions describing in-store experiences.
  • Questions that Best Buy asked received 100′s of comments from mobile apps & plasmas. Others promoted upcoming events.
  • Their innovative Facebook tabs included ways to search products, ask your Facebook friends for gift ideas (and create passive impressions for Best Buy) and links to other Best Buy initiatives.
  • Talking with Customers not at them like they used to exclusively do with traditional mass media like TV,  radio, newspapers and magazines.
  • Consumers will give you all sorts of information if you are willing to listen
  • Showing people what is good and not so good about you creates trust
  • The “Best Buy” case study shows that social media is not just about communicating externally but using the technology and platforms to make your organisation social, connected and energised and from that communicate with your customers in ways that make your brand stand out from the competition.

    Great for almost all of the questions in the journal! Energizing your employees is probably not what most would typically think of...Best Buy did a great job.
