Local Retailer vs Corporate Giant

satelliteicc — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 21:52:13 +0000

Recently our clients have been asking what is the difference between purchasing your satellite television system from a local retail location vs purchasing directly from Dish Network or Directv. Here are a few reasons why it is best to go with your local retailer.

1. Most retailers are operated on a day to day basis by the same people who opened the retail location. This means that every customer is a big deal to them. Usually this also means that when you encounter a problem with your system, there is a 24 hours or less response time in order to fix whatever problem you are encountering.

2. This particular retail location has over 15 years of experience servicing the San Francisco Bay Area as well as the central valley. Satellite ICC was also one of the first companies to bring to Bay Area residents digitial satellite television through installation of the smaller satellite dishes that are now the norm.

3. Sometimes it is easier to explain or to show what the issue with your system is if you can talk to someone in person. Or perhaps you are a visual learner and you missed some things during your one on one tutorial with the installer at your home. The advantage of buying your system through a local retailer is that you can visit their office at any time and immediately get the help or explanation you need.

4. Satellite ICC’s technicians all live in the San Francisco Bay Area and are available 7 days a week for your convenience. This also ensures immediate service instead of a 2 week waiting period usually required by corporate.
