Going Pro this Holiday Season

October 13, 2014 by Melissa

The leaves are falling. The kids are playing. The team is scoring. These are just some of the shots we’re taking with our cameras in the gorgeous fall weather. Do you have the best camera to capture all the action and smiles and cheers? Check out Best Buy for the latest gadgets for adventure seekers and memory makers.

Right now the technology is better than ever for the photographer in the family. With an ever growing list of activities, vacations, sports, playdates and family get-togethers there is so much more to capture so we can hold onto the memories for years to come.

Not only are we taking more pictures but were taking more video. My kids love to run around the park with their bikes, toys and friends. The laughter pulls at my heartstrings and it’s too much not to get it all on film. We share and upload so others can see it so we have to make sure the quality is great otherwise what’s the point.

Shopping for the #GreatestMom at Best Buy

May 2, 2014 by Melissa

I’m what some would call a Jane Of All Trades. I cook for the masses, dabble in DIY, craft with the kids, upcycle old into new, chauffer the kidlets to and fro, pack for a 3 day getaway in 15 minutes flat and can put a party together on a budget. To say I’m always on the go is an understatement. I do all of this because I’m a mother, the #GreatestMom.

If you’ve recently checked your calendar you might have noticed it’s coming to that time of year to celebrate mom on her special day, Mother’s Day. Families all over the country rally in support of all the tear stained tissues, lost sippy cups, late hours and blank stares that mom’s have had to deal with. Flowers, cards and mani/pedi offers are sweet but let’s look at what moms REALLY want.

For the Foodie mom who thinks she has the finest cookware and the spiciest chili oil already. But what about a new KitchenAid Ultra Power Tilt-Head Stand Mixer or a new Keurig special edition Coffee Brewer?

Maybe you aren’t so handy in the kitchen but can beat your kids to the top of the hill on a footrace. Have you gotten your hands on a new FitBit Flex or Speck CandyShell iPhone Case to keep your tunes safe with running the next 5K.

Me, being on the go go go I want gifts that make my life simpler, easier, more fun. A Plantronics Bluetooth Headset lets me chat handsfree so I can whip up lunch, pack the minivan for lacrosse and carpool 5 smelly boys without missing one update on my growing nieces. An HP 14″ Chromebook is the mother of all gifts. Editing photos, finalizing graduation card lists and adding to the birthday calendar can all be done while in the carpool line.

Whatever personality you take on as a mom Best Buy has you covered with a selection of gifts that to make you smile. Visit BestBuy.com for more ideas to share with those that love you most to open their wallets and throw down some dollars to show how much they really care. Don’t worry, there are plenty of gifts under $100 for the more budget conscious.And shop with confidence at Best Buy knowing you’re gonna get the best price because of their Low Price Guarantee. Find a better price anywhere else and Best Buy will match it on qualifying products.

Find something for every Mom on your list this Mother’s Day.

Share your Perfect Match and Win $30 Best Buy GC

March 9, 2012 by Melissa

Making buying decisions on the latest and greatest gadgets and tech is hard enough without worrying about getting the best pricing and start up support. Best Buy wants customers to be matched up with their perfect technology and make it their own. Their new Perfect Match Promise is simple

30-day free phone support to get product up and running
30-days of no-hassle returns with no restocking fees
30-days of competitor price matching

Shop without worry since consumers now can shop knowing their satisfaction is guaranteed. If the product isn’t right for you or your family simply return it. Knowing that Best Buy offers clear solutions for consumer’s biggest shopping fears should make the process easier and less stressful.

According to a February 2012 Best Buy survey:

30-Day Phone Support to Get It Up and Running: When asked which expert consumers would like to have on call 24/7, more than one third of consumers chose a Tech Expert – even ahead of Dentists (17%), Chefs (15%) or Fitness Instructors (11%). The preference for an on-call Tech Expert only trailed Doctors (65%) and Police Officers (56%)
When Hassle Outweighs Savings: More than 1/3 of consumers have kept an item that wasn’t suitable instead of returning it. The majority decided not to return the products simply because the return process is “too much of a hassle.” More than 25 percent of those consumers spent between $51 – $100 on the item they didn’t return
Power of the Price Match: 44% of respondents have taken advantage of a price match policy at one or more retailers

“Our research clearly shows that consumers are looking for help when it comes to technology set-up, and that there is a need to find a great deal,” added Panayiotou. “Our offer provides clear solutions, like our 30 days of free phone support, to ensure our customers feel confident they can get their Best Buy products up and running at the right price, no strings attached.”

See for yourself what Best Buy has to offer with their new Perfect Match Promise. Win one of (5) $30 Best Buy Gift Cards right here at LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! Tell me your idea of the Perfect Match , e.g. peanut butter & jelly, Pitt & Jolie, football & beer.
