Apple's Revenue Per Store Visitor Hits Record High

Apple's retail stores have been ranked as the U.S. retail chain with the highest sales per square foot for a number of years and according to a new report from Asymco’s Horace Dediu, the company also outranks competitors when it comes to revenue per visitor, hitting a record high of $57.60 per visitor in the first quarter of 2013.

Apple experienced a seven percent growth in visitors during the quarter, leading to an average of $13 million in revenue per Apple Store, which is the highest it has been during a non-holiday quarter.

Perhaps I don't get it, but I'd rather get my Apple products from the online store than to set foot in these hipster infested stores... #mysanthropy

That comment had hipster undertones. ;)

It's not very surprising Apple has a high $ sale per square foot...when 90% that Apple sells is $299 and higher...probably the average Apple purchase is $800 or more.
Having expensive items to sell doesn't do it. You also have to actually _sell_ the stuff.


That's because of the overpriced Apple accessories.
As usual, lilo tries to put a negative spin on things, and again, she fails.

If Apple products were overpriced, sales wouldn't be high, they would be low. Because people don't buy overpriced things. Common sense: If it is overpriced, I don't buy it.

You don't know anything about economics. This data suggests that Apple stuff is correctly priced or even underpriced.

Discounts and deals are signals that a seller recognizes his prices are too high. When was the last time you saw a sale at the Apple Store?

Yep, a simple economics concept the haters simply cannot - or refuse to - understand.
