Re: Article on B&O business with Apple from Business DK

I'm not trying to be negative here, but the impression I get from this is that B&O are really making a lot from this "Apple relationship" when all they've done is agreed to sell some B&O products in some additional Apple stores. Lots of manufacturers do this, all the time, but don't make so much from their agreement.

Is there anything more than this? Have I missed something?

Apple is the highest grossing per square metre/foot retailer in the world. So an interesting point is how many people would go to Apple and plunk down $999 for a Beosound 8, or $1000 speakers. For Apple it is all about moving product as fast as possible.

The most interesting comment is "They have some pretty tough requirements earnings per shelf centimeter, "says Fritz Andersen"

Also claims B&O only currently has products in 10-15 of 288 US stores.
