Technology news made with Apple retail store sales

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 atApple Technology Newshletica, 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.

M-commerce pilot has been unveiled by Time Inc

Editions of the products will be compatible with Kindle and iPad and consumers will be able to shop directly from the page.

The Time Inc. tablet edition of All You has now added m-commerce capabilities that make the pages directly shoppable for consumers, starting in the may issue as a part of a pilot program.

A “shop now” icon is available for customers reading using a Kindle Fire or iPad for information and purchasing.

By selecting the m-commerce option, the reader can either find out where they can purchase a product, or they can use a direct link to purchase it online on their device. At the moment, the print magazine is being sold on some newsstands, at Walmart, and through standard subscriptions.

These print titles will have m-commerce capabilities, as will the tablet editions.

The results of a recent All You and Insight Strategy Group survey showed that among the magazine’s subscribers and other women, 62 percent seek m-commerce shopping deals for products on their mobile devices. The deputy editor of All You, Geoge Kimmerling, said that “Ninety percent of women in the survey think of themselves as smart bargain shoppers.”

The new m-commerce direct shopping function has been created through a partnership between ShopAdvisor – an app commerce services provider – and the magazine. In order to use the function, an email address must be entered. Then, if a price change occurs on an item that is being watched, a message is sent to the reader in order to alert him or her.TIME - M-commerce Pilot

The ShopAdvisor and Time Inc. partnership is currently in a pilot phase in the All you magazine, with that title being the leading brand on this project as a whole. Until a full launch occurs, Kimmerling stated that they will be observing and tracking the engagement rate metrics with the various shoppable pages, and will seek to discover how many people watch a product versus how many people will actually buy.

They will also look at the difference in the results between the tablet and the standard editions. These versions had each page thoroughly examined in order to make sure that the m-commerce function was fully in place and each issue is completely shoppable.
