Apple stores were the most profitable
[1]
retail stores per square foot in 2017
[4]
beating out brands like Tiffany and
[7]
Lululemon other stores have tried to
[10]
copy the formula but these feel like
[12]
imitation rather than innovation Apple
[16]
stores are a core part of Apple's brand
[19]
and of spreading that brand our stores
[29]
are also the best place to go discover
[33]
explore and experience our new products
[35]
an apple store is an apple paradise and
[39]
anyone walking by can see this utopia
[42]
because most Apple stores have big glass
[45]
walls when they see that other people
[47]
are inside engaging of the product
[49]
there's a general social desire to
[51]
belong that's Jim Morey
[53]
he teaches marketing at DePaul
[55]
University and so there's this FOMO like
[57]
you're missing out quality of wanting to
[59]
go inside and see what the new thing
[60]
happens to be of a store and once
[62]
customers get into the store they tend
[64]
to stick around because Apple stores are
[67]
just plain cool
[69]
each stores design is a sleek and modern
[72]
as Apple's products the flagship stores
[75]
even double as tourists destinations
[78]
each one is like a beacon with multiple
[81]
floors indoor trees and incredible
[84]
architecture Apple stores Wow customers
[87]
with more than just the products and the
[90]
stores are filled with visual cues that
[92]
get the customer's attention you can see
[94]
every shiny new model on display after
[97]
using the iPhone 11 you know exactly how
[101]
much better it is than your old iPhone 7
[103]
once people have their hands on
[105]
something they're more likely to
[106]
purchase it as soon as they feel some
[107]
sense of ownership of the product they
[109]
actually value it more once it's in
[110]
their possession and this adds a reason
[113]
to go to the store even if you're not
[115]
planning on buying anything you can go
[118]
just to play with the new products the
[120]
longer you keep people in the store the
[122]
more likely they are to buy something
[124]
they're carefully curated and they
[127]
change seasonally to always feature our
[130]
newest products and services
[132]
there's this notion of the pain of pain
[134]
when we know we are an expensive store
[136]
the more we can sort of mitigate that
[138]
feeling of pain by like maybe hiding the
[140]
price tags in a sticker shock the better
[142]
off we are
[142]
Laurie explained that when you feel that
[144]
a price is unfair you actually have more
[147]
activity in your McDole a part of your
[149]
brain that processes emotional pain you
[152]
can almost imagine is like a you know a
[153]
plus and a minus and if the plus
[155]
outweighs the minus then I'm more likely
[156]
to purchase it in an Apple store the
[159]
price tags are very small so even though
[161]
the products are expensive you're not
[163]
thinking about the price good for the
[166]
amygdala there's also an aspirational
[169]
quality to apples products with Apple
[171]
devices loyal customers feel like
[173]
they're getting the best of the best
[175]
there are no giant sale or clearance
[178]
stickers that devalue the products and
[180]
the staff makes customers feel important
[183]
by showing individualized attention we
[185]
want to make the happy experience and
[187]
the ease the convenience as great as
[189]
possible and minimize that inconvenience
[191]
or that pain of paying as much as
[192]
possible it turns out Apple is really
[197]
good at this when it's time to check out
[200]
there's no line and no cash register
[202]
painless the phone you've been playing
[205]
with for the past 20 minutes is now
[208]
yours and you told yourself you weren't
[210]
planning on buying anything in the last
[213]
few years
[214]
Apple has created even more reason to go
[217]
to an Apple store adding free classes
[219]
called today at Apple on topics like
[221]
photography and coding these classes are
[225]
also a part of Apple's vision for its
[227]
stores as a part of the community we
[229]
call them town squares because they're
[232]
gathering places but the Apple Store
[235]
utopia might not be as glorious as it
[237]
looks from the outside
[238]
in the past year there have been reports
[242]
of customers facing long wait times and
[244]
overcrowded stores customers and
[247]
reporters have lamented the loss of the
[249]
seamless Apple Store Apple might have to
[252]
rethink its retail strategy if it wants
[254]
to maintain the store's reputation
[256]
ultimately Apple wants its stores to
[259]
have a positive impact on its customer
[261]
when it gets it right it makes spending
[264]
money really easy
