25 /PRNewswire/ -- Panasonic, a market and technology leader in
flat panel HDTV's, announced today that it will again offer
consumers access to its Panasonic VIERA Concierge(TM) toll-free
information service prior to "Black Friday" and through this
holiday season. The Panasonic VIERA Concierge program, normally
open exclusively to Panasonic VIERA Plasma and LCD HDTV owners,
will be accessible to any consumer who would like to learn more
about selecting a flat panel television from a live expert
beginning today through February 17, 2009. Panasonic first offered
open access to its VIERA Concierge HDTV experts during the 2006
holiday season, again last year during the 2007 holiday season, as
well as other key buying times including Father's Day. "The quality
and volume of calls our VIERA HDTV Concierge experts have received
from consumers during our past open access periods underscored the
fact that this effort has provided a valuable resource to people
looking to buy a flat panel television," said Bob Perry, Senior
Vice President, Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company. "The
holidays are traditionally a time when many consumers consider
buying a new television, and as we close in on the Digital TV
transition this February 17, 2009, more and more consumers will be
making the transition to High Definition television. Offering
consumers access to our otherwise exclusive group of HDTV experts
gives them a valuable resource to assist them in making educated
decisions when purchasing a flat panel HDTV." Panasonic's VIERA
Concierge Program, which began in June 2006, offers VIERA HDTV
owner members an exclusive range of free services, including live
access to specialized HDTV consultants, a loaner program if a unit
needs to be removed for repair, on-line chat capabilities and call
staff that are empowered to resolve issues swiftly. In addition to
answering basic and technical questions, Panasonic VIERA Concierge
experts will work with consumers to help them determine the type of
flat panel television that best suits their needs by asking key
questions about their TV-watching environment, viewing habits, room
design/dimensions and other conditions. Panasonic's Customer Call
Center in Chesapeake, VA, which administers the Panasonic VIERA
Concierge hotline, has been recognized as a Certified "Center of
Excellence" by the Center for Customer-Driven Quality(TM) at Purdue
University. This highly respected certification ranked Panasonic's
Call Center in the top 10 percent of the 20,000 call centers
studied throughout North America. "As a maker of both Plasma and
LCD flat panels, we know that, especially this time of year, many
consumers are confused and often bombarded with information on the
pluses and minuses of the various flat panel product offerings;
some of this information may be outdated or inaccurate," said Mr.
Perry. "Our goal in providing access to our VIERA HDTV Concierge
experts is to empower and inform consumers so they can ultimately
select the HDTV that best suits their needs." Open access to the
Panasonic VIERA Concierge service ends February 17, 2009. Consumers
can access the service by calling 1-888-777-1170 Monday through
Friday 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. ET and Saturday and Sunday 10:00 a.m.
to 7:00 p.m. ET where they will be connected to a Panasonic VIERA
HDTV expert. Consumers also can find tips, facts about flat panel
