“Apple averaged $4,551 in sales per square foot of retail space over the past 12 months, beating out luxury retailer Tiffany & Co., and tobacco powerhouse Murphy USA, claims eMarketer,” Harrison Weber reports for VentureBeat.
“In a new study, eMarketer ranked the sales performance of “more than 225 U.S.-based retailers,” out of which Apple topped the list. Unsurprisingly, competing stores like Best Buy didn’t even fall among the top 15 retailers,” Weber reports. “Once again, it’s clear just how important Apple’s brick and mortar presence is for the success of its brand.”

No, this NEW news similar to old news, but ought to shut up the idiots writing about the trouble Apple retail is in. What’s amazing is the strength of tobacco sales after of the 40-years war against its use.
What a complete tool that guy. LOL There were so many of them. It’s fun to read them all.

How can this be? What about those mobile phone store’s with all those Android phones in them? I am sure they sell (give away) more crap than even the largest fertilizer store can!
Apple has help this spot for many years now. It wasn’t until Steve Jobs decided to start selling their own products that Apple started to grow. It was one of Steve’s most important decisions at Apple! I miss his vision and leadership.
Just puts an exclamation point on how well Apple is actually doing and how WRONG the anal-ists are.
Likely scenario #17
New retail chief Angela Ahrendts makes Apple stores more spacious, improving customer satisfaction and increasing sales by 20%.
But a 40% increase in square feet and a 20% increase in revenue results in a 14.3% drop in revenue per square feet.
Planet is immediately papered over with Headlines of Doom: bemoaning Apple’s lost mojo, slamming Ahrendts, savaging Cook for appointing her. Investors panic, stocks plummet, cackling bloggers gloat.
And I buy more .
So how are those Samsung Clone stores and stores within a stores doing?
…and how about those incredibly successful Microsoft stores – right across the street from your favorite local Apple Store! What, you didn’t see it? Well, you’re not alone…
Funny how the main stream media fails to report how unsuccessful these two pos stores are.
The kids are alright.
Blah, blah, blah.
Oddly, last time I was in an Apple Store, they lost a LOT of money on me….yet reaffirmed me as a customer for life!
Yeah, no matter how you think of the stores they can quickly and easily burn a big hole in your pocket!
Actually….they replaced a three-year old 2.7 GHz i5 27″ iMac (upgraded/ 2TB HD) with a brand-new 3.5 GHz i7 3TB Fusion drive (I lost a disc drive in the exchange….but got over that quickly…).
Applecare is the bomb! My old Mac has an occasional flicker that they had tried to repair twice and another issue before that and they decided I had had enough to warrant a new one.
I never asked for it. Never expected it. Never dreamed they would do anything more than keep my old one a few extra days and figure it out once and for all. That’s all I asked (not demanded) and they countered with a brand-spankin’ new $2,700.00 outfit.
Dam-mit!!!!
Sorry, that’s very much obvious. It’s simple arithmetic, even without knowing the figures; the number and size of stores, and the profit margin published each quarter, tells you.
Compare that to Walmart.
Only a hoarder would feel comfortable walking around in a Walmart… could they possibly cram more shit in the aisles and walkways?
? How would you know?
Are you a hoarder…?
Only if he’s comfortable while walking around.
Or he likes to walk around uncomfortable.
A tobacco retailer is number two? Not believable. Taints all the results.
Murphy USA is the gas station for Walmart. Tiny closed space for one or two people. Probably counts gas and cigarette sales, not really a selling floor.
TY
I’m not sure what the exact number is, but Google quickly found this,
“Retail analyst Jeff Green believes Microsoft stores have logged sales of $1,500 per square foot on average per year.”
That’s just precious, isn’t it?
Profit per square foot figures from Microsoft stores are [censored].
端口映射又称端口转发，有的又称之为NAT、虚拟服务器。比如，我们在内网中有一台Web服务器，但是外网中的用户是没有办法直接访问该服务器的。我们之前涉及到的各种连接 / 转发都只涉及到了两台机器，还记得我们在本地转发中提到的一个问题么？好在 SSH
同时提供了 GatewayPorts 关键字，我们可以通过指定它与其他机器共享这个本地端口转发。这个过程就是外网访问内网通过端口映射的形象说法。当用户访问外网IP的这个端口时，服务器自动将请求映射到对应局域网内部的机器上。
