We can all agree that RadioShack isn’t exactly the diy mecca it once was.
What used to be a haven for amateur radio operators, tinkerers, and home builders alike has devolved into a stripmall mainstay full of cell phones and overpriced junk. RadioShack knows that they have fallen out of your good graces, and considering that you are the demographic that put them on the map, they are appealing to the diy community for input.
They want to know what is crucial to you – what you would like to see at your local RadioShack, and what would bring you back through their doors. undoubtedly price is a substantial concern, especially with online outlets like Digikey and Mouser just a few clicks away. At the end of the day however, if you require a component ideal NOW, it would be great to have the ability to get hold of some parts locally.
We’re well aware of the fact that this is all part of a marketing scheme, but if it helps stock your local store with a few odds and ends that are actually helpful, it won’t hurt to let your voice be heard.
Stick around to enjoy the video appeal from RadioShack’s brand manager, [Amy Shineman].
