Comment on Best Buy feels Amazon squeeze, to close 50 big-box storesparent

Comments

Best Buy's historical strategy has been to make profits from accessories like cables. But they have been doing it wrong in the past 5 years. They should be using these accessories to drive foot traffic.

Best Buy can sell products or services. They obviously cant sell products (for a profit), and their services kind of suck. But they need to do one or the other, and they need to do it great. Amazon and company has them beat on selling products. They need to focus all their energy on selling services.

Best Buy's current strategy is borrowed time. A shame the employees get to suffer through shitty (mis)management like this.
