Thrive in a changing consumer landscape

The face of retail is changing at an unprecedented pace. Never has an understanding of the right people and the right place been as pertinent as now in the race for that all-important share of wallet. Retailers need to know who their customers are, what they want to buy (perhaps even before they do) and how and where they want to shop. Important issues such as sustainability and ethical consumerism also need to be considered.

Retail - Know Your Customer

Know your customer

Using location intelligence, we can help you truly understand not only your customers and their engagement with your brand, but also those of your competitors. With advanced demographics, your existing customers can be profiled, and a geographic model created to predict market potential. Dovetailing this with competitor intelligence will allow you to identify both saturated areas and fresh market hot spots.

An improved understanding of ever discerning customers will sharpen your marketing communications, enrich their experience and set your business apart from the competition.

How can we help you know your customer and assess, identify and develop your market?

Refine and optimise site locations

While growing briskly, only 19.3% of UK commerce [Statista, May 2019] happens online. In an increasingly competitive marketplace, the location of bricks-and-mortar retail outlets remains paramount, including where the customer journey involves ordering online but with local collection. Location intelligence can also help with retargeting, by providing a geographically focussed follow-up to initial advertising campaigns. These are believed to be more than twice as effective as generic, untargeted marketing messages. A network of outlets can be further optimised by assessing market potential and underperformers selected for development.

The locations of your stores, warehouses, delivery routes and events are key. How do you underpin critical decisions and solve the enigma of where?

This insight can then be used to find other territories with similar types of people. This is particularly useful for expanding into international markets. Will success in Manchester translate to success in Hamburg?
