May 24, 2016

Neiman Marcus has announced plans to deploy 37 ChargeItSpot phone charging kiosks across 30 locations. The kiosks will allow users to charge their phones in a secure locker while they shop, according to a press release.

The store-branded kiosks feature eight lockers for cell phone  charging. ChargeItSpot initially partnered with Neiman Marcus in 2014 in a pilot test of kiosks. Last week, the company deployed its kiosks at Neiman Marcus locations in Washington, D.C., and selected cities in Virginia, the release said.

"Neiman Marcus lives and breathes its core ethos of delivering an excellent customer experience and that includes keeping their shoppers' phones charged,” said Douglas Baldasare, CEO and founder of ChargeItSpot. "The expansion of our relationship with Neiman Marcus underscores the value that complimentary phone charging provides to its retail shoppers."

"At Neiman Marcus, superior customer service starts with a great overall experience in the store," said Wanda Gierhart, chief marketing officer for the Neiman Marcus Group. "The ChargeItSpot kiosks allow our customers to charge their phones securely while they shop. It is very important to us that we work with technology to continue to improve our customers' experience."
