メールの内容としては、今週10日のApple Watchの予約販売開始に備えて、販売店のスタッフのトレーニングが行われていること、今までとは違う全く新しい形での顧客体験を提供すること、加えて、既に受付開始から4日の間に1,000以上のApple Watch向けアプリの申請が届いていること、とApple Watchの注目度が今までのレベルとは違うことが強調されています。
そして個人ユース向けに、従業員にはApple WatchまたはApple Watch Sportsを50%OFFで購入できる 特別な「Employee Purchase Plan」が提供されるとのことです。また、予約販売の10日より90日間の間オファーとして提供されるようです。
Team,
The day we’ve all been waiting for is almost here: Apple Watch is ready to ship.
Our retail stores are training for a whole new way to engage customers and help them experience Apple’s most personal product yet. On Friday, in over four hundred stores across four continents, we’ll open our doors to people who want to try on Apple Watch for the first time and start deciding which one is right for them.
Tens of millions of people have seen our keynotes and demonstration videos about the watch, and there’s much more to come. Some of the most innovative developers in the world are working on new experiences designed specifically for Apple Watch. More than one thousand apps were submitted in just four days last week when the App Store started accepting them, and the rate of submissions has only been climbing since then.
I know that many of you have been looking forward to choosing an Apple Watch for yourselves, and we want to make it easy for you. Starting Friday in countries where the watch is available for pre-order, a special Employee Purchase Plan will offer a 50% discount on any Apple Watch or Apple Watch Sport for your personal use.
As we introduce the watch in more countries, the special pricing for employees will be offered in those countries as well. Discounts will begin at pre-order and last for 90 days after availability. AppleWeb has more details, so I invite you to check it out.
Our products enrich people’s lives like no others, and we think Apple Watch is going to delight our customers in ways people can’t yet imagine. We want you to share in that experience right alongside them.
Congratulations to everyone who has worked so hard for years to help this product reach our customers. And thanks in advance to the thousands of retail employees around the world who will start placing it on people’s wrists starting Friday.
Tim
