Site Selection & Market Planning

GIS studies built around your unit economics.

Anyone can buy the data. The work is knowing which of it predicts your sales, and having the discipline to say no to a beautiful space in the wrong trade area.

Trade area

Method

From customer profile to plotted point.

  1. 01Model the customer. Start from whatever customer data you have, even delivery ZIP codes. Revenue is modeled against geographic, demographic and psychographic variables until the ones that predict your sales stand out.
  2. 02Map the white space. Every trade area in the target market scored on those variables, with competitor and analog overlays: who thrives near you, who kills you.
  3. 03Test the economics. Rent-to-sales tolerance, build-out reality, and labor and logistics reach: the filters that turn twenty "great locations" into three defensible ones.
  4. 04Make the call. A ranked recommendation with the reasoning shown, packaged for the people who have to approve it.
