  2. Strengths Sharp, innovative positioning Creative and simplified design “Halo effect”—utilizing the iPod to slowly convert Windows users to Macs Loyal customer base

  6. Designing Their Retail Space In 2000, Steve Jobs hired Gap retail executive Mickey Drexler and Target merchandising chief Ron Johnson Drexler suggested building a store prototype “… design it as you would a product” Jobs and Johnson realized that computers were no longer simple productivity tools Johnson decided to place “Genius Bars” in stores, mimicking hotel concierge desks dispensing advice to customers Focus on fixing customer problems quickly “We’re trying to get as fast as the dry cleaner.”
  7. Apple’s Store Layout Minimalist design Use only glass, stainless steel and wood materials No clutter Large eye-catching window displays in front Most popular items located nearest to entrance “Genius Bar” situated near the back of the store No purchasing counter Developed EasyPay, letting salespeople wander the floor with wireless credit card readers
  8. Standardized International Expansion Apple has over 200 retail stores worldwide, including: U.S., U.K., Japan, Canada, Italy, Australia, China, Switzerland, France, Germany Standardized products Standardized store layouts of display tables and shelving, each configured with products in standard locations
  9. “Significant Stores” 40-50 new stores next year Eye-catching architecture on significant, high traffic stores
