For the past few years Best Buy has struggled to remain relevant. That might sound odd, since Best Buy is the country’s No. 1 electronics retailer. But these days that’s not enough. More and more people are shopping online, and for electronics particularly. Brick and mortar stores become glorified showroom floors.
Best Buy does have a strong web presence, but it still needs to drive sales to its retail outlets. Otherwise it can’t justify paying the rent and keeping the lights on. To that it has created several stores within its stores. It is currently planning Samsung stores, which will sell products ranging from tablets and smartphones to TVs. It’s one way to generate foot traffic and interest in Best Buy physical outlets.
One mini-store Best Buy has always boasted is its Mobile Solutions. There they sell phones and plans from all major service providers. It’s hard to miss it when you walk into a Best Buy store. Of course, they also have a mobile section online. And there are some deals to be had currently.
While there are plenty of deals you can find directly with a carrier — the BlackBerry Z10 from T-Mobile and AT&T are the standard $200 — there are some discounts to be had. The Galaxy S3, for instance, is $100 from AT&T and $150 from Verizon, cheaper than you’ll find them in stores (at least without a special sale). They’re definitely worth checking out.
So check out Best Buy Mobile Solutions for deals on a new smartphone. Any time you can get a better price than the carrier offers, you should take it.
