There can be no doubt that mobile games have become a very prominent part of the game industry as a whole. These games have come to represent a very lucrative market, encouraging game developers from all over the world to enter into the mobile space. While the game industry has been growing more engrossed in the mobile world, other industries are also beginning to show strong interest in mobile games. Such is the case with Metro, one of the United Kingdom’s most popular newspapers.
Company has high hopes for the mobile sector
Metro has long been in the business of news and print. Like others in its industry, Metro has faced several challenges in the wake of the advent of mobile technology. The company has managed to remain somewhat relevant with consumers through the clever use of technology and by appealing to a younger generation of consumers. Metro has taken note of the astounding prospects that exist in the realm of mobile games and has decided to jump into the deep end of this sector by launching its own mobile gaming platform.
Metro Play to serve as platform for mobile games
Metro Play is the name of this platform and it is meant to provide a new level of engagement to Metro’s current audience. The platform will support a vast array of mobile games that can all be access through a smartphone or tablet. Metro has invested more than $2 million into this venture and believes that mobile games can be a very lucrative way to engage a growing population of consumers that is heavily reliant on mobile technology.
Metro aims to be ideal hub for mobile consumers
The new platform is part of an overarching campaign from Metro that places mobile technology as a top priority. Metro continues to see consumers becoming more mobile-centric and aims to position itself as an ideal source for news and entertainment among consumers that favor their mobile devices over all other media platforms. Metro Play is expected to help Metro appeal to those interested in mobile games, an audience that has already proven itself to be very accommodating to businesses catering to their interests.
According to the results of a recent report, the locations are generating an average of $58 per visitor.
A new technology news report has just been released, showing that the retail stores from Apple are currently generating record level revenues as an average per visitor to its physical locations.
This report was produced by Horace Dediu, an analyst from Asymco, based on research and analysis.
The report indicated that the average sales per visitor to the retail store was $58, which is making technology news because it is notably higher than the mobile manufacturer has achieved in its history. The report went on to compare the results from that store to other high end well known shops.
This technology news went so far as to show that per square foot, Apple’s retail shop was beating top sellers.
For example, Dediu pointed out in his technology news report that “In the US, on a sales per square foot basis, Apple retail continues to perform twice as well as Tiffany & Co., the second best retailer, and three times as well as lululemon athletica, the third best retailer.”
This data from the United States makes Apple the most lucrative square footage for any global retailer in the market worldwide. Even the next closest retailer has been achieving only half as much value in sales as the average visitor to this company’s retail stores.
The data represented the results for the latest quarter. They show a growth of 7 percent over the performance from previous quarters. To be precise, each visitor spent an average of $57.60, according to the technology news data released by Dediu.
He published a complete technology news analysis online that also showed that the average Apple retail store revenue was now reaching $13 million per quarter. According to Dediu, this is the highest level that has ever been achieved during a non-retail quarter for the company. He also pointed out that each of the retail stores saw an average of 250,000 visitors per store, per quarter, and that this was a relatively steady figure. However, when compared to the same quarter in 2010, it is vastly higher, as it had only been 170,000 at that time.
