BestBuy Lakeside's Launch Weekend

BestBuy Lakeside had a brilliant launch weekend by the sounds of things as many have reported long ques of up to 2 hours to get in to the store and customers snapping up 3 or 4 TV’s at once. Our contacts who visited the store stated that the Best Buy team were wheeling out TV’s on the Warehouse trolleys  every 15-20 minutes as customers were grabbing the Toshiba TV deals.

BestBuy announced their deals to their Twitter followers & Facebook fans and we were following the deals and we couldn’t believe what we were seeing. The UK team have done well and organised local Police support as traffic jams around the area was building up and let’s be honest if you’re getting up to £200-£300 off a TV you wouldn’t mind the wait.

One customer stated “We thought the deals would be on limited stock, but it seemed as though they had enough stock for everyone. The staff was friendly and the store looked great!”

We heard that the targets for the Bank holiday weekend was in the £4-£5 million region and on Friday alone they achieved £1.5 million!
