HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., April 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Sears, a leading integrated retailer focused on making shopping easier for its members, introduces Get Advice, a personalized service powered by Shop Your Way.

"We're using technology to virtually open the doors to Sears stores across the country giving our members access to the expertise of thousands of our associates," said Leena Munjal, senior vice president, Member Experience and Integrated Retail, Sears Holdings. "This level of interaction is another way we are integrating the digital and physical shopping experience –members can enjoy the advantage of getting great advice from the stores plus engage the vast Shop Your Way community."

According to a Bazaarvoice Summit 2014 talk given by a leading analyst at Forrester Research, providing customers with the opportunity to connect with a real person that has a specific product or department expertise is one of the top 10 trends changing the retail industry. Sears addresses this customer need with Get Advice and Member Assist.

"The Shop Your Way community is a resource unlike any other in retailing," said Eric Jaffe, senior vice president, Shop Your Way, Sears Holdings. "Get Advice and Member Assist are social commerce at its most powerful – access to trusted information, latest knowledge and valuable feedback on any of the millions of products members can find on ShopYourWay.com for sale by Sears and others."

  • Get Advice taps not only the thousands of the Sears in-store associates, but also the millions-strong Shop Your Way community in which any member can also post an answer and vote on the most helpful responses. They can post any product-related question to the Shop Your Way community, and store associates from around the country will post a reply simply by leveraging the same knowledge and expertise they use to help members in the store.
  • How Get Advice Works:
    • Members go to ShopYourWay.com and tap "Ask a Question" in the Get Advice section or directly from a shopyourway.com product page.
    • They type their question and see if an answer pops up while they type.
    • If not, they simply follow the prompts to post their question.
    • Once the question is submitted, answers will start flowing in from store associates across the country.
  • Member Assist allows members to communicate directly with consultative store associates in more than 400 Sears stores nationwide, remotely and conveniently via shopyourway.com or the Shop Your Way mobile app. Members can directly interact with their favorite expert associate at their nearest Sears store – asking product-related questions and even sharing photos – and that associate will directly respond with answers to help solve the member's product or service need.

The Shop Your Way YouTube channel features a video demonstration of the new Get Advice and Member Assist service innovations.
