It’s getting more challenging to reach increasingly demanding customers online, so Best Buy Co. Inc. is carrying out a three-part web strategy of enhancing accessibility, localization and personalization, John Thompson, general manager of BestBuy.com, will tell his audience during his keynote address at next week’s Internet Retailer Web Design & Usability Conference.
In a presentation he has entitled Staying relevant in a changing landscape, Thompson will describe the steps Best Buy is taking to connect with shoppers in new ways, engage consumers at a local level and personalize key components of its web site to increase the relevance for shoppers.
Thompson, who joined Best Buy in 2001 as senior vice president of supply chain and business systems for Best Buy stores, has also worked as a senior executive at other major retailers. He was chief information officer at Liz Claiborne Inc. and chief information officer and executive vice president of merchandise planning and logistics at Goody’s Family Clothing Inc.
Best Buy is No. 10 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide (a PDF version of the company’s financial and operating profile can be ordered by clicking on its name).
