Use Drive Distance/Time to collect realistic market information Customer Penetration High High Med-High Med-High Med Med Med-Low Med-Low Low Low Store Store Location Location Customer Penetration for a Retail Outlet in Hamilton, Ont Store Maturity Analysis 11
Store Maturity Analysis Stores do not open 100% mature. Stores need to be open for a period of time to generate market awareness and to shift existing consumer shopping behaviors. Strip and Mall units typically differ in their maturity curves. Stores mature based on a maturity curve. The Real Estate group needs to know the maturity rate and the Marketing group needs to work to accelerate each store towards reaching maturity. Reaching mature sales sooner equals dollars in your pocket and a more solid lock on market share within that territory. Monthly Sales Trend 12
Maturity Curve - Sample Gradual Awareness Growth Store sales are mature in their 37 th month of operations. Monthly Sales Trend Honeymoon Effect 13
Customer and Competitive Profiling Primary Factors Impacting Store and Sales Performance Demographic/Customer Profile Competition Site and Location Characteristics Operations/Merchandising Marketing/Brand Awareness/Regionality 14
Customer Profile Analysis Everything starts with understanding the customer! Basis of most location modeling and market research. Defined via Customer Surveys/POS/Client data. Statistically determine those demographic and lifestyle factors important in strong sales performance. Identify the characteristics of the most productive customers and where the greatest geographic concentrations of those customers are located. Highlight the significance of distance to sales penetration. 15
Targeting Customer Segments PSYTE Strip Center Profile Top PSYTE Advantage Clusters 16
Top PSYTE Advantage Clusters Core Customers Create Trade Areas 17
Trade Areas Based on Customer Data, Not Assumed Radius Definitions Trade Area Extension The contiguous geographic area from which a store s greatest concentration of sales originate. Urban Trade Areas Suburban Trade Areas Exurban Trade Areas Analyze Sales Distribution Patterns 18

Competitive Profile Analysis Determine which competitors impact performance category vs. chain Evaluate which kinds of competition are strongest: Sister, Direct, Indirect Assess positioning within the trade area, not just presence in the trade area (not only how much but also where): Intercepting Adjacent Identify when conditions are over/under saturated with competition. Determine when the presence of competition actually improves store performance. Normal Curve Competition Example Competitors within 360 21
Competitive Synergy Competitive Thresholds Sales Performance Retail Synergy/Competitive Intensity Under certain conditions, the presence of competition can provide a synergistic lift in store sales performance. Site Profiling 22
Site Profile Analysis Critical evaluation of location and site characteristics. Key factors include: Visibility Parking and site layout Co-tenants Size of center, type, the drawing power Retail activity and image established vs. new Ingress/egress and accessibility Traffic count/drive by influence Determine which site and location factors are associated with better performing stores 23

Summary Site Selection is a scientific process and follows the scientific method: Data is gathered. The more accurate and granular the data the more accurate the model and its predictions. Statistical methods are used to search for relationships within the data. Competition Customer profiles Specific PSYTE clusters Cannibalization Sales Transfer Site Specific Attributes Trade area rules this step should not be trivialized as it is the foundation of YOUR business Combine model predictions with YOUR experience to create very reliable market expansion strategies. Monitor the model and alter as market conditions change.
