Excerpt:

Apple's retail stores ring up more sales per square foot than any others in the U.S.--$6,050. That's almost twice as much as runner-up Tiffany ($3,017) and three times the sales of third-placed Lululemon Athletica ($1,936), which retails yoga clothing. Those findings are part of a report by research company RetailSails, which examined the productivity of 200 U.S. retailers in 15 different product sectors. Filling out the list of RetailSails' 10 best-selling stores are: -Coach: $1,871 -Michael Kors: $1,431 -Select Comfort: $1,314 -True Religion: $1,227 -Vera Bradley: $1,186 -Birks & Mayors: $1,082; and -Fairway Market: $1,081. Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst for NPD group, a market research company, explains what top retailers have in common: "We've entered into a period where specialty stores rule the roost," he says.

0.0414049"That's why Apple went into bricks-and-mortar retailing," says Lewis. "And it's why you'll see Amazon and eBay do the same. You can't create the kind of experience consumers want by selling to them just online. The emotional and neurological connection has to be made in person. What the research shows is that retailers who sell both online and through their own brick and mortar stores achieve sales 40-50 percent higher than those who sell through just one channel or the other."

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
