Thanks for sharing your point of view regarding our recent ad, which included a wish for a “Happy Eid al-Adha”.

Best Buy’s customers and employees around the world represent a variety of faiths and denominations. We respect that diversity and choose to greet our customers and employees in ways that reflect their traditions.

We do use the word “holiday” in some of our advertising because it is meant to be inclusive to everyone. However, just as we have in the past, we will also reference specific holidays such as Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa in our weekly ads, store signage and other advertising vehicles.

We encourage our employees to interact with customers naturally and feel free to wish them a Merry Christmas if they are celebrating that holiday.

Thanks again for your feedback.

ChurchGurl

Since launching ChurchGurl, it has become more than just a clothing line, it has become an empowering movement for women. ChurchGurls all over the country and abroad, including Africa and Europe are proudly wearing the sparkling signature thanks to a ChurchGurl appearance at Mega-Fest 2005. When asked about the significance of CG, Michelle simply states, “ I am a firm believer that it is imperative for ChurchGurls to be Sassy, Savvy and Saved; SASSY in our unique style, SAVVY in our biblical, spiritual, financial and political awareness and in our endeavors to do great things and make an impact in our community. And true ChurchGurls know that we are nothing without the power and love of God. We need to establish a solid relationship with Him…SAVED.”
