Seeing a competitor perform well in a new market, and looking to expand the success of its Ashley HomeStores brand, Dufresne Spencer Group (DSG) needed to decide whether to open a store in the new market. How could DSG optimize site selection for high foot traffic and new store revenue?
Using Placer.ai’s site selection and trade area audience data, DSG identified a site in the new market based on the characteristics of top Ashley stores. The new location outperformed a nearby peer with 57% higher traffic and a 48% higher average ticket size, ranking in the top 80% of Ashley stores nationally.
