| Looking for new sites? |  | |
|
| We offer three different products to assist you in finding
new locations. The most sophisticated is the MPSI®
New Site Search
product, which provides volume projections that incorporate your facility characteristics,
brand, merchandising and pricing strategies. The MPSI
Hot Spot Analysis
solution provides a location volume projection that reflects the 'dirt strength' of each
traffic point. These projections highlight the site's demand potential but do
not take into account what you plan to build or how you plan to set prices at the
site. The MPSI
Intersection Ranking
study does not provide volume projections, but instead ranks the major intersections
based on key statistics about the supply and demand of the surrounding trade area. | | |
|
| Planning a network of sites? | | |
|
| When planning a network, we can help insure that the plan you put in place
is successful. If you need a proven tool that will help generate volume projections
for new sites and changes to existing sites, the MPSI®
Retail Explorer®
system is the right solution. If you would like MPSI to develop the optimal network plan for
you, then our
Location Optimization service
is what you need. This unique optimization solution will help you determine the optimal retail
network for achieving your market objectives. If you are considering an acquisition and
need to know the volume to expect before you make a decision, then take a closer look at MPSI's
Acquisition Analysis. | | |

| Wanting more information about your customers? | | |
|
| If you want to gain valuable insight into your customer base, we offer a variety
of products that can help you. The MPSI®
Geocoding
services provide a quick and cost-effective way for you to assign latitude and longitude
coordinates to your address information. We also use the Mosaic™ Lifestyle
Segmentation data to add valuable census block group information to your GIS applications
so that you can evaluate the profile of your customers. If you prefer, MPSI can analyze
the data for you with a
Customer Profiling
study. Our experienced Retail Consultants will identify your unique trade area, the
lifestyle segment of your customer base and any gaps and/or overlaps in your site network. | | |

online service. MapMetrix provides extensive traffic counts that you can easily overlay on maps or aerials, or view in report format. | | |
|
| Wanting to evaluate markets? | | |
|
| If you have a need to evaluate markets, we can help. You may want to evaluate markets
for expansion opportunities, investment possibilities or maybe to compare one market to another.
