Identify and describe the two different approaches used to estimate the potential sales for a store site.

What will be an ideal response?


1) Regression Analysis: based on the premise that factors that affect the sales of existing stores in a chain will have the same impact on stores located at new sites being considered. The technique can consider the effects of the wide range of factors, including site characteristics, such as visibility and access, and characteristics of the trade area, such as demographics and lifestyle segments represented.
2) Analog Approach: used more so for smaller chain stores and is more of a subjective approach where the retailer describes the site and trade area characteristics for their most successful stores and tries to find a site with similar characteristics.
