potential.

Benchmarking is used to help retailers compare and understand understand tenant mix.
Are there towns with a similar population and demographic profile? How does a particular location compare to an
existing site in your portfolio?
This analysis is carried out using NSLSP catchments and ACORN correlations.
In the case of Outlet Stores, we compare the retail mix to a range of benchmark slides – We typically look at merchandise
mix, price positioning and FISH information stored in our FOC database.

Summary Reports

FSP can also work on an ad
hoc basis. We can supply
retailer summaries for any
individual location that a
retailer may consider entry
into and wishes to understand
deeper.

tool for internal store approval
processes.

points, KPIs and information
that can help support any
internal decisions.

Mini Depth interviews and focus groups can help a
brand to understand more clearly individual
aspects to their business, including customer
perception, new store concepts and product
launches.
FSP believes that the provision of intimate local
knowledge coupled with qualitative research to

your company to succeed in this market.
