How do I say "How can I help you?"

I am making a badge for a skit in spanish. I am a jewelry store owner and my badge is supposed to say "How can I help you?"

Would it be... "Cómo puedo ayudar a ustéd?" OR "Cómo puedo ayudarle?" OR "Cómo ayudarle?" OR Something else???

Please answer ASAP. Thanks!!!

I like ¿Cómo puedo ayudarle? because I think a jewelry store owner would use the formal mode of address (as opposed to someone working in a store geared to teens, for example, who might choose to be more informal.)

I think the verb "servir" is more appropriate in this situation than "ayudar".

"¿En qué puedo servirle?" What can I do for you? May I help you?

I agree with Sheily in that "servir" is more common in these cases.

It´s just a personal opinion, but in the case of a badge I would have it say simply "Para servirle."

I believe the answer that you are looking for is; ¿Cómo puedo ayudarle?

You can also say:

¿En qué puedo ayudarle? = How can I help you?

Can be used when addressing one person in a formal way.

or ¿En qué puedo ayudarles? = How can I help you?

Can be used addressing a group of people in a formal way

I hope this helps

How can I help you informal Spanish?

If you want to say “How can I help you?” in Spanish, you would say, “¿Cómo puedo ayudarte?” (informal singular) or “¿Cómo puedo ayudarle?” (formal singular).

Can you help me formal Spanish?

If you want to ask someone in a more formal situation for help, you can ask “¿Me puede ayudar?” or “¿Me ayuda?” And finally, if you are asking multiple people, or a group, for help, you'll want to say “¿Me ayudan?”
