Find the Right Location or Grow Your Market

  1. Business Summary: Information in this report identifies the number of businesses and the number of employees per industry group in a market. The Business Summary also compares the daytime population of the area to the residential population. Knowing where people live and work in your market is vital in deciding where to locate businesses and services. Sample Business Summary (PDF - 16kb).

  2. Retail Marketplace Profile: Businesses that successfully understand and respond to growing consumer demands must know where to find area demand for their products and services. The Retail Marketplace database, designed to help retailers analyze retail sales generated in a given area, shows if customers are traveling outside the area to shop and highlights retail sectors that represent the area's biggest demand. Capitalizing on this information, retailers can make smarter decisions about site selection, product offerings, and more.

    Understand the scope of retail activity in your market area. The Retail Marketplace Profile displays the retail sales and retail potential dollar amounts; the leakage/surplus factor, which measures the gap between supply and demand; and the number of businesses in the industry. Use the data in this report to evaluate the potential of future sites, determine if customers are traveling outside the area to shop, and plan marketing/advertising campaigns. Sample Retail Marketplace Profile (PDF- 33kb).

  3. Retail Goods and Services Expenditures: Based on annualized data from the Consumer Expenditure Survey (CEX), the CEX report line identifies the consumer dollar potential available to be spent for various retail categories. These reports include the total dollar amount spent, average amount spent per household, and the Spending Potential index, which measures the amount spent for a product or service in your area compared to the U.S. average. The report shows the total dollar amount per household spent on retail goods and services categorized by apparel, computer, food, finance, health, and insurance. A potential spending index (SPI) compares the amount spent for a product or service in your area to the U.S. average. Retailers can quickly identify and compare national and local customer preferences. Sample Retail Goods and Services Expenditures (PDF-20kb).

Tapestry helps reveal your customers and your markets, enabling you to find more like them. Sample Tapestry Segmentation Profile (PDF - 33kb). Use Tapestry to:
