Doing it this has advantages and disadvantages...

 

You save money and lead-time for site selection...

 

But you pay more in rent/acquisition costs because the market leader presence causes prices to go up.

 

 

...Then, to compete successfullly, you must offer something the market leader doesn't have -- or something of equal quality at competitive prices.

 

 

In the case of Apple Stores, Apple is selling end-to-end solutions, after sale service and support and customer satisfaction -- the competition is just movin' the meat!

 

 

Customer walks into a MS store:

 

MS Rep:  "What do you want with your fries... er, ah... with your XBox?"

 

 

I wonder If MS Stores offer a service to move customers' files across from an Apple computer to a Windows computer.

Christiana Mall is in Newark, DE; a short drive from the University of Delaware.

 

I went to the MS store in Mall of America and there was like 10 people in the store, half of them employees. The apple store across the hallway was packed. this was on a Monday.

Let's be honest here - Microsoft could build stores right next door if they want. They could have people outside, naked, encouraging you in. But anyone there to buy an Apple product, will simply smile as they walk on by.

I would love to listen to the conversation in the Windows Store .... "You thinking of switching?" ... "Hell yes!" /smile

 

Ah, same area as myself, neighbor. :-)  The Apple store at International Mall is always packed, it's unreal.  The experience there is unreal, too.

And Apple didn't have to bribe the customers with gifts to get them to come into the stores.

I have 5 Apple Stores in my metro area.  Including the Mall of America which has the (at the time) largest Microsoft store across the hallway (literally).  I think the only thing that keeps the MS store somewhat filled is the LegoLand playground next to it, so one parent can come in while the others are out playing in the duplo pit. 

 

The apple store has a table for the kids, so no problems there;-)  The microsoft store... it has nice lightly used couches.

 

The reason why Apple has 5 stores in the Minneapolis/StPaul area is that the MOA is supposedly the highest value store in US in terms of $$/sqft/year.  You would swear that Apple gives away shopping bags at the MOA, as everyone seems to have one as they troll the stores (note, there are 3 Best Buy stores in the mall as well).  Microsoft,  I have to say I've never seen a MS bag in all my days in the Mall (not many, but at least 4 shopping days a year.)

This seems to be the strategy MS used in the Xbox release... release a product, market the product, market the marketing, absorb huge losses until it's making money, and ignore the sunk costs, and claim victory.

 

All in all, the MS store is like the 'Surface'  It's a 'reference platform' for MS to shove in front of it's partners, and say "This is how we want our stuff marketed... if you can't do this, we'll take over your spot in the MS food chain."  Problem is... MS working the ends (delivery to consumer/ OS and requirements engineering), and ignoring the middle (UX engineering [apple would hate that term], HW/SW integration, end to end experience, HW/SW support, online store, integration of retail to user experience (my appleID and my storeID are the same), etc etc.

 

MS is selling product by maximizing expertise in experience.   

 

MS selling Dell or Samsung hardware no better than BestBuy.   Once you get to a problem, MS doesn't own it.  Dell, HP, Nvidia, Sony own the problem.

 

Hence, the MS store is a walk in experience marketing campaign.   The problem is, MS only controls about 20% of the experience.

 

Apple is selling experience, by maximizing expertise in the product.   Any problem with your Mac or iPhone, is pretty much Apple's (or yours) to solve, because they are the ones who specced every piece and shipped it to you.

 

 

 

MS' key mistake, is that they think people want a product.    No.  People want experience, preferably one that is enjoyable, and 'gets the job done'.   The concept of "Windows Ready" or "Intel Inside" have been replaced with a single silver Apple logo, like a Mercedes or BMW logo...  MS thinks people wants Windows (Windows EVERYWHERE), no people want a device that solves a problem for them... it's the difference between a hammer, a nail and some wood, and a finished picture frame.  

 

the MS store is antithetical to how MS's DNA runs... They supply SW to others and others do stuff with it (OEM's, corporations)  The store is to sell solutions.  but as I said, in MS's business model, they don't own the solution, therefore in the end, they can't sell solutions... they sell product.  And like BestBuy, they will fail.

This is extremely well articulated.  Remind me to follow your posts Geoff :)

 

It will be interesting to see if Samsung, Amazon, or Google/Motorola manage to become product experts selling experiences like Apple today.  It seems that of the three, Samsung has gained the strongest foothold in the market by becoming hardware experts (admittedly by stealing hardware designs from Apple), and paying just enough attention to software to make it all work well enough for the average consumer.  Any thoughts on what strategy Apple should use to ultimately win against these competitors?

MS makes an OS and software.  Other guys make the ugly cases.  Why do they care what hardware it's on? Do they actually make more money on an Acer/Vaio etc. system than if their stuff was installed on a macbook?  Maybe customers just don't understand, because I still don't know what their selling point is.  The only thing I can imagine they would make sense if they said:

 

"We run software that you can on a macbook but don't require bootcamp or other 3rd party apps.  We sell systems cheaper than the other guys because our parts are crappier.  We don't require you to get a skin for you laptop because we provide an ugly one for you.  We guarantee that your win 3.1 software will still work so you don't have to code it all over again.  We still let you plug in your serial mouse, and parallel port printer so you might not have to buy a new one.  Your floppy disks will keep spinning.  Sitting beside your friend's macbook, theft will not be an issue."

Huh...they need to update that list.  There's been a Microsoft store open at Lenox Mall in Atlanta for some time now.  Gets pretty decent traffic too - although about 1/2 or 1/3 of the Apple store there.

Not just Burger King. There is a reason why similar stores tend to congregate. You may have to share your customers with your competitors but it is worth it because the more similar stores the higher the foot traffic. In the MS / Apple case it is kinda unique because computer stores were never in these kind of locations before the Apple stores. But if MS doesn't have the products and the service to match Apple the exercise will be counter productive, which by people's accounts here, seems to be the case. I'd love to see the MS's numbers on the stores.

I wish MS tons of success with this.  I'd love to see them give Apple some competition. 

 

But so far, MS has only scratched the surface of having their own hard products to sell.  Let's see ... there's soft stuff, Windows and it's many flavors (including Home Server); Office (I wonder if they sell Office for Mac in those stores??); and ... uh ... yeah, the hard Surface thing. 

 

Another problem: Can the Microsoft Wise Guys (well, you can't really call them Geniuses, can you?) really help you find the right machine for you?  Good luck.

 

I'm hoping that Dell is going to get with the program at some point, but so far they're pretty disappointing.  Not that I'd personally buy a Dell, but Dell is better positioned to do retail than Microsoft, and it could (maybe, might) be some measure of competition added to the market mix.

 

Oh, yeah, forgot the XBox--they got that right.
