Adopt a market-planning platform you can grow with
Give your emerging brand a strong growth strategy with SiteZeus’ fast, accurate insights
You’ve proven your concept and are ready to expand your brand’s portfolio. Is it time to look into using a location intelligence platform? We might be biased, but our answer is a resounding yes — and we know the emerging brands who call SiteZeus their market-planning partner would agree.
Why? Because in this stage of growth, your brand is uniquely positioned to form a partnership that offers a clear path toward faster, stronger portfolio expansion in the future. Not to mention, real estate mistakes are costly, and any misstep made at this stage will hit especially hard, disrupting your expansion plans.
From simple guesses to a solid game plan
Confidence is key when it comes to making important decisions — especially those important decisions that come with a $1 million price tag. Nobody wants to play the finger-pointing game when a location flops, and no franchisee wants to feel the financial sting of an investment gone wrong.
We’re a midsize firm, so we’re very price conscious. We can’t afford to cast a wide net and miss on one or two sites like some bigger firms can. With the cost of acquiring real estate and the cost of construction, each site is a significant investment for us. We’re using SiteZeus to rule out some sites and home in on those that pass the test.”

With today’s technology, you can equip your real estate team to make data-backed decisions every day. Thanks to the speed of A.I.-powered solutions, due diligence doesn’t have to slow you down. A location intelligence platform delivers insights on demand so you no longer have to miss out on opportunities due to time-consuming analytics.
Start your brand’s growth journey on the right foot by leveraging SiteZeus’ comprehensive data exchange, custom reporting, and territory management capabilities to keep your plans organized and your trajectory on target.
Performance drivers
No two sites or regions are the same, which is why it’s important to understand which variables most strongly influence a location’s success. By knowing how particular site attributes or customer demographics affect revenue, you can more quickly determine the true potential of new sites and improve your current underperformers.
With access to SiteZeus’ platform, our real estate team is able to look beneath the surface of our locations and understand what’s truly driving their performance. This helps us know where to focus and determine which locations to avoid.

Customer segmentation
Leverage comprehensive demographic and geosocial data to fully understand the composition of your customer base. Our segmentation dashboard gives you the flexibility to analyze your entire portfolio or narrow in on a single site or group of sites to see how your top customer profiles differ between regions. Once you know who your core customers are, you can map these cohorts to pinpoint markets where your concept would be an immediate hit.
SiteZeus’ platform will fuel our growth by helping us scout sites, identify markets, and learn about the communities we aim to serve.

Sales impact studies
Don’t steal your own thunder. Pursue strategic infill growth by minimizing sales cannibalization and closure impact. SiteZeus’ sales impact studies use mobile data and geofencing technology to map your customers’ paths to purchase, allowing you to visualize your existing stores’ trade areas, project how many customers would transfer to a prospective location or transfer from a closed one, and calculate the resulting revenue adjustments.
If you’re not using mobile data, you’re missing some traffic patterns. It’s impactful to look at the mobile data and see where 60 percent of your customers are coming from two hours before and after visiting your store. … You can determine the trade areas using mobile data, which helps you understand where sales impact may occur.

Custom reporting
The best data in the world isn’t worth much if you can’t effectively extract and communicate the insights it holds. SiteZeus’ customizable report and presentation templates help you isolate the market-planning factors that matter most to your brand. With the ability to access reports from the main map view, you can document your findings without interrupting your workflow, then share your results with other stakeholders to streamline the site-selection process.

Then once you’ve created your polygons, the world is your oyster. Merge, cut, color, copy, group, share, and assign shapes to keep your growth plans organized and get territories ready for sale. And the best part? You can do all of your territory mapping in the same platform that houses the rest of your market-planning tools.
