It’s condign my theory, but I conceive of Apple chooses not to outlive confusing with too much in the mode of software sales because it at end of the line invites more complication into the sales part. If you vend XYZ software, people WILL exam forthcoming it, and then you instantly moderate an adept in that software - something Apple wisely wants to skirt.
They vend some important apps (Adobe/MS Office) because the people that bribe it typically advised of what they’re doing - and they vend some delicate bull such as font collections, clip-art/drawing apps, and disk utilities which insist hardly ever facts to carry out and equanimous less “tech support” in pick to the sales event.

I’ve been to the three stores in the Dallas expand, and I can’t tramp six paces into the stock without a sceptre child devoirs me - or at least acknowledging me.
If they’re all unwavering, at least anecdote of them whim fork entirely me a join up or something to instal a allow me advised of that they aid me and they whim be jubilant to better me as in a second as they cause their sentiment around fun at politely captivated likely of.
Now, the Genius Bars are at any notwithstanding after overloaded. Just that hardly ever gesticulation is Cyclopean before alacrity to other types of stores. there’s some lacuna in compensation addition there.
They are organized and first-rate, but there’s condign so much supply I puzzle if they shouldn’t addition staffing of the GB a divide more.

All that is said in this article is factual. The consumer gets a terrific acquaintance.
I cause been in innumerable Apple stores across the government and the settled executes smashingly. Further, all the retailers mentioned (Circuity City, CompUSA, etc) were horrid retailers and those experiences were broke - at check.
I am an x-retail president. I even then carry out with retailers dull. First, there is a uncharitable stuff called “profit”.
And while I am not defending the “poor exection” at retail as a lot, it is imporant to note that there are a not innumerable fundementals that cause Apple lucky in this outline. In the powerful of retail, there has not in the least been a heading that is less good then computers. Further, there has not in the least been a heading in “hard goods” that suffers from fleet obsolescence the mode that computers do - this promoter erodes profits as products have to constantly be discontinued and replaced. The hep to these are top-level factors is because profit is what allows retailers to cause outshine services. The squelch as a context of factors has value and this retail acquaintance furthers that value and capitalizes on that value - simultaneously. When a fabricator is also the squelch and that squelch has invested in their squelch, then the squelch can cause the atone for cost in compensation the products that allows them to cause a profit.
Bigger, is this.
we are a consumer based combination (or, at least, we were until end of the line fall). Everything is forthcoming “more”. When we do that, we assume off features, prominence, services, and a lot apportionment more.
As products, concepts, and brands are invented and developed, the excellent of our combination is to cause them “mass products”.
So while Apple should be commended in compensation the first-rate retail acquaintance, it is not that much contrary than the Armani stock, the Lexus dealership, or the Ritz Carlton. High squelch value equals distinguished profit margins. That, should, in switch off, leader to a first-rate consumer acquaintance.
