Compusa Computer Stores - A Review - winrar viptoolazBill Atkinson, owner/operator of CompUSA (dot Com) was able to sell his business in 1997 to concentrate on the business' Internet marketing. Bill introduced the idea of distributing computers to customers with "patches" to enable them to connect wireless Internet. His dream was to create a brand that would last and solve the issues many were having in terms of slow Internet connections. Bill's vision came to fruition when he established CompUSA, a company known today as CompUSA. His goal was to offer a top-quality computer service that was the best value for money.Bill Atkinson sold CompUSA for Microsoft and later established Radvision Communications, a provider of cameras that are digital. He created the idea of giving away computers that had wireless Internet capabilities at a very low cost in the year 1996. He also developed the 365 Day Outlook program, which is now available from Microsoft. Bill Atkinson believes that his ideas created with Microsoft are the best way to provide services and to compete with other retailers of computer products.CompUSA was founded in 1986 as a national distributor and retailer of personal computers, accessories, and other computer retail services. CompUSA started with a brick-and-mortar shop in 1986. It quickly grew to include dozens of superstores across the U.S. Today, they offer services for retail customers in Canada and Mexico. Compusa will succeed by following the same trends that other big computer stores such as Wal-Mart and Best Buy. Compusta stores are currently located in all 50 states. Additionally, compusa provides wireless Internet and software options for personal computers.Bill Atkinson believes there will always need to be an international standard for selling personal computers and other electronic consumer goods. "I think that compusa has done an excellent job in meeting the requirements of consumers. Bill Atkinson stated that wireless providers are fiercely competitive and it is important to remain in front of them. National stores provide quality service and reasonable prices. We are able to meet the needs of computer users by expanding our customer base, and provide the best technical support.However local computer stores like Best Buy and Circuit City has forced other companies to follow the same model. "Compusa, the largest computer retailer in the country, has had to adopt strategies more comparable to their smaller local competitors over the last few years," stated Mike memorandum of Circuit City. "They have shifted from discount prices to a 'bundling' approach to increase sales and draw customers. Compusa's growth potential is untapped."Bill Atkinson believes there will always be a demand for an online retail store across the country. He sees this as the future of electronic retail. "I see a need to have stores that are compliant in every major city within the U.S. I believe that there will always be a need for an electronic retail store that is accessible across the country and I believe that the wireless service will increase the demand," said Bill Atkinson. "Compusa is a top-quality company with a top product and a solid reputation in the world of computers. We plan to continue to expand our business and are looking towards entering new markets."
