Location decisions backed by data consistently outperform those made on instinct alone. This webinar introduces you to the world of demographic and site analytics. You will learn how to use population data, traffic counts, and consumer spending patterns to evaluate potential locations. You’ll learn where to find this data, how to interpret it, and how to use it to negotiate from a position of knowledge rather than assumption. Whether you’re scouting your first location or expanding an existing business, data-driven site selection is a skill that pays dividends.
