I’ll Pay for It - Price Packages by Service Level

Sales Strategies, Service and Support submitted by dell_admin1 05/18/07

Dell wants your feedback on the following idea intended to improve customer service and support:

We're considering an option that would allow customers to "buy in” to differentiated packages of service, including where they choose to have the service delivered from.

UPDATE (May 18 at 8pm Central):
A number of people are asking for more information about this idea so they can comment. However, this idea is not a defined “offer” at this point, so many details have not yet been determined. That’s why we want your feedback!

Others have asked if this idea would cost extra or not… in this case, yes, the intent is to explore a “for fee” buy-up option from the standard warranty.

In this option we are considering, the standard warranty service would not go away, it would remain free with system purchase. And the buy-up option would be for incremental offerings, which might range from selecting to be served by local customer service agents in your country to other services such as system tune-ups, virus and spyware removal, etc.

Some of these incremental offerings might be included as the standard offering for premium products, but they might also be offered as an option for any customer to buy into – independent of the model of system purchased. For example, airlines have frequent flyer programs and Club Lounges. If you are a premium customer and fly first-class, you automatically get access to the Club Lounge. If you fly economy-class, you don’t, but you can still buy your way into the Club Lounge.

Again, none of the details for this idea are defined yet, this is just what we are thinking so far (based on your feedback), so you tell us what you think it should look like! 38 Comments »

Geeks to Grandmas - Service Customization

Service and Support submitted by dell_admin1 05/18/07

We're considering providing customers the ability to self-select their service queue based on their own technical capability, such as "Advanced Computer Knowledge," "Intermediate," or "Beginner," further customizing the support experience.

Now You Choose - Concept 2

Gaming, XPS products submitted by dell_admin1 04/25/07 **IMPLEMENTED**


Participate in the product design process! Dell is using IdeaStorm to decide between two new product design concepts. Vote on your favorite and weigh in to tell us what you think.



When we unveiled the XPS 710 H2C at CES this year, we also uncovered it. There were a limited number of systems sprinkled throughout the show floor that had a clear side panel allowing easy viewing of the patent-pending two-stage H2C liquid cooling system.


Since then, more than a few people have suggested we offer a “panel with a view” as an option for our XPS 710 line. Now we need you to vote for one of these two options and, most importantly, share some reasons why you like it.


This “Now You Decide” vote campaign will be open from Wednesday, April 25 to Friday, May 11. The design that gets the most votes will be featured in a future generation of XPS gaming desktops.




Check out the latest Idea in Action on the new XPS 730.
