CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--U.S. Cellular (NYSE: USM) unveiled its Samsung ‘store-within-a-store’ concept today at a store in Madison, Wis. The company is the first wireless provider in the U.S. to offer a Samsung product-focused store-within-a-store experience to customers in company-owned stores.
The concept, which consists of a 100 square-foot dedicated branded Samsung experience area within a U.S. Cellular store, is set to roll out at approximately 57 retail store locations now through October.
Each Samsung store-within-a-store includes an interactive, one of a kind, virtual host, designed to help customers learn key features and benefits of the latest Samsung devices. The virtual host will respond to the customer and guide them through the devices on display. Staffed by specially trained U.S. Cellular associates, the area also provides customers with the ability to immerse themselves into Samsung’s full range of products – including the Galaxy Note7, Galaxy S7, Gear VR headset, Gear S2 Smartwatch store-within-a-store experience and more.
“As the first of any U.S. wireless carriers to offer a Samsung product-focused store-within-a-store concept in its company-owned stores this collaboration demonstrates how U.S. Cellular is redefining and enriching the customer experience,” said Joe Settimi, vice president of marketing for U.S. Cellular. “This dedicated area allows us to provide even better service to our customers without compromising their need to confidently purchase or learn more about a device that meets their needs.”
