| | Ron Johnson Keynote Speech - April 2004 |
 | | Apple's "break-through" decision, which skeptical analysts criticized, was to locate their stores in the most expensive, highest-traffic locations. | | | Further, at most retail stores, the purchase ends the relationship with the store. | | | Happily, Apple's retail stores will generate $1.2 billion in revenues during the fiscal 2004, and will post its first full year of profitable operation, according to Sr. |

| | ATPM 7.11 - Apple Wedge: Apple Retail Store |
| | Considering the community feeling that the retail store opening engendered, it was interesting to note that only one out of seven users interviewed was a member of a user group. | | | Apple would get a break on membership costs, and the local Mac user group would benefit from a stronger and more diverse membership. | | | All I could pry out of anyone was that all of the 600 new retail store employees this year had received “extensive, service-oriented training” at headquarters. |

| | adaptive path » six design lessons from the apple store |
| | I had planned to illustrate this article with photographs of the relevant details from inside the store — if Apple Store staff would attend to customer needs with the same vigor and alacrity that they enforce the company’s unexplained no-photography policy, they’d take a major step toward delivering the retail experience their designers intended. | | | Cashiers put time and care into the transaction, which makes clear Apple’s philosophy that the purchase is not the end of your relationship with them — it’s the beginning. | | | Coaxing visitors up to the second floor of a store is a challenge most retailers have long since given up on. |

| | Apple's retail stores now generate $1 out of every $7 for the Cupertino firm, and about half of the consumers who buy Apple computers in these shops are first-time Macintosh buyers, he said. | | | The firm's high-tech retail boutiques have impressed consumers with their design and have become profitable ventures since the first store opened in 2001. | | | In its first fiscal quarter of 2004, which ended in December, the firm's retail store revenue rose 84 percent to $273 million, with $9 million in profit. |

| | Apple has understood something about the future of the consumer technology business that seems to have passed everyone but the mobile phone manufacturers by. | | | But these days, electrical retailers are much more independent from the main Japanese suppliers, and demand based on the iPod’s fashion value should defeat such underhand tactics should they be attempted. | | | What now differentiates brands is, and will be, the implementation of those functions and the capacity to provide the consumer with value and meaning in their outward expression. |

| | Unknown to many Apple retail store customers, especially those dialing AppleCare for help with the matter, at the manager's discretion any retail store is able to replace displays, laptops, or iMacs with even a single dead pixel, regardless of location. | | | Should an Apple retail employee come across any “illegal images” on a Mac dropped off by a customer to a store, they are obligated to report the violation to Store Operations, which takes matters from there. | | | Not surprisingly, Apple retail employees are ordered not to comment on rumors to customers under any circumstances. |
