"The "Circuit City" brand is now owned by Systemax, which uses the brand to sell electronics as an online retailer. On May 11, 2009, Systemax bought the brand, trademark and e-commerce business at an auction from Circuit City Stores, Inc. Systemax had earlier acquired CompUSA and TigerDirect which now operate as online retailers. Systemax in April 2009 signed a stalking horse agreement for $6.5 million which is an initial offer for a bankrupt company's assets." ~Wikipedia
You have obviously heard of Circuit city's Demise, come and watch "The disgruntled Circuit city associates." I hope you Enjoy and leave your input or possibly a memory you have had at the oldest retailer in the Nation.
wow...i liked the "where services are state of the art" slogan...i think the main reason that circuit city failed is because it stopped focusing on customer value and enhancing services (in this they mentioned it as 'sales counseling')...if u compare to todays CCity commercials, they mainly focused on advertising lower prices and sales...but o well...i worked for ccity for a year and half as FD tech lead...& ive witnessed the terrible customer service happening...(i even had to save a few sales)
I've always liked Best Buy better. It wasn't so much a pricing issue, just a better selection of merchandise and a more fun atmosphere. They are closing the Circuit City at the Mall of GA and discounting all their merchandise. 30% off, whooptie-do! I can get a better deal on the same electronics on a regular friggin' sale day at other stores. I walked out so disgusted and glad they were closing.
haha one goal... to please the customer... HAHAHAHAHA yeah i work there and i dont think they're very pleased at all with our customer service haha it sucks
Very cool! Loved hearing SunSpots voice talent Charlie Glaize doing the voiceover at one point. I learned the voiceover "smile" from listening to Charlie do those Circuit commercials on tv and radio.
The old lady on the thumbnail looked like Ms. Doubtfire. xD

If Circuit City today was like it was when these commercials were made, it probably wouldn't be going out of business right now, hah!

electronics where made better in the 70's 80's 90s & they cost more too and they lasted longer the stuff they made now don't even last 5 yrs
circuitcity was one of the best stores in the 90's i dont remember there being a best buy where i live in until the late 90's

I can see Circuit City's strategy has worked and it shows because they clearly dominate Best Buy now.

This, by far, is the best Circuit City ad campaign, the music and the song gets into your head and you can't stop singing it!

Many thanks for posting this!
The "anthem" commercial from 1989 is one of the best ever done (starts at 00:59 and runs to about 1:12).
Does anybody have the full version of "just" that?
