Supermarkets: How to Measure the Location Potential?

Finding out how many people live in the surroundings of the establishment, their income levels, their ages and their tastes and interests, is fundamental information to measure the potential of a supermarket’s location.

Using the Geomarketing solutions we have developed for our clients, PREDIK Data-Driven‘s Business Intelligence team analyzed the environment of some of the main supermarket locations operating in Central American countries. Below is an excerpt of the study’s findings.

Highlights of the analysis for Central American countries.

When analyzing the main interests of these people, the analysis specifies that of the total number of consumers, 8% are interested in seafood and 7% in vegan foods.

When the main interests of these people are examined, the analysis shows that of the total number of consumers, 22% are interested in beverages such as tea and 9% in seafood.

In PREDIK Data-Driven we developed a geomarketing tool based on interactive maps of isochrons and consumer data, which allows us to identify where people are and what consumer characteristics they have. The map incorporates, for any Central American country, the variables population, income, average monthly expenditure and consumer interests. With this information it is possible to identify potential customers and define investment plan strategies accordingly, or to explore home delivery times from any point of sale.
