How We Do It

Potential vs. Actual Performance

Each audit begins by developing a customer profile and custom site selection model to identify the factors that drive your brand’s performance. We use the model to score your existing stores and segment your portfolio into four groups by comparing potential to actual performance.

Store-Level Strategy

We also provide insights into the factors driving each group’s score, based on the variables included in the model, to guide your store-level strategies. You can explore and analyze each store’s trade area further using the model, customer profile, and other reporting tools in SCOUT, an application in the Buxton Analytics Platform.
