Apple’s Customer Experience Secrets Exposed
Boasting sales per square foot of over US $5,000, Apple has become the world’s leading retailer. What makes this brand so successful? What keeps customers coming back? What’s their secret?
It’s Apple’s customer experience design, of course. It’s an integral part of their customer experience strategy. In this White Paper, you will see how Apple actually delivers the kind of experience customers appreciate, remember, and talk about. You will also discover patterns you can apply to your own business. But, be warned, you can’t ‘be the next Apple’. Your brand can only be what your customers allow it to be. Even if you took Apple’s furniture and products and signs and made a store of your own, it wouldn’t be the same experience.

Culture, people, training, and motivation must be carefully nurtured. You can’t open a box of these attributes, put them in your business and have them just start working. Read this White Paper to find out how Apple does it–and what you can do to improve the customer experience at your own company.
One of Apple’s best known but least understood innovations is the Apple Store App. This is a downloadable app for iPhones that lets customers schedule appointments to shop, get help, get training, or get their own project work done. Putting the control in the customers’ hands is central to superior customer experience design. This app, and the operational infrastructure that supports, is what supplies some of the magic.
It’s no wonder, Apple’s head of stores, Ron Johnson, will take the helm at JC Penney in November.
