FORT WORTH, TEXAS, (April 15, 2015) — The City of Temecula, California is beginning an intensive retail recruitment process with the help of its partner, Buxton. Buxton’s advanced customer analytics will identify retailers that match the shopping and dining habits of consumers in Temecula’s trade area.
While retail economic development programs have traditionally relied on basic demographic information, Temecula will utilize customer insights that go beyond demographics, presenting a convincing case to retailers seeking growth opportunities. Buxton’s proprietary web-based real estate platform, SCOUT, gives leaders the ability to analyze retail matches, support existing retailers and optimize development decisions.
“Buxton will be able to guide us in our immediate retail recruitment questions by determining whether our list of desired retailers aligns with the consumers of Temecula,” commented Cheryl Kitzerow, economic development analyst for the City of Temecula. “Buxton’s data can also be used to benefit our existing retailers.”
“Buxton is excited to support the City of Temecula’s retail recruitment efforts,” said Lisa McCay, vice president of Buxton’s public sector division. “Analytics play an important role in today’s retail development process, and Temecula’s proactive approach will lay a strong foundation for growth.”
Buxton has worked with more than 650 communities nationwide to implement retail development strategies. Clients in California include Rancho Cordova, Pasadena, Hesperia, Palm Springs, and others.
