    Insightful Market Analysis Services   To be effective, market analysis requires more than simply studying an area's demographics. It must include quantifying the trade area, assessing the competition, evaluating the site, and accurately projecting sales using the most sophisticated techniques. Dakota's high-quality market analysis and research services cover this ground thoroughly. They include:

    Site selection and sales projections. Before you select a site you need to know the answers to key questions, for example: Which location will maximize your sales? and What impact will a new location will have on other stores in your network? Similarly, to accurately project a new store's sales you need to know which location will maximize sales and what the impact will be on your other stores in the network. Dakota's professional site selection and sales projection studies give you accurate answers to these critical questions, which help you make site selection decisions that optimize your investments.

    Acquisition Analysis. Smart companies want critical information before they acquire new sites. They want to know: Will a particular acquisition or investment produce the sales levels necessary to achieve the desired return? and What is the site's sales potential today and in the future? Dakota's acquisition analysis provides companies with acquisition opportunity analysis, analysis of an acquisition's impact on existing stores, and strategic store network planning based on in-depth analyses of the targeted markets' real estate, operational, and marketing issues.

You'll receive a plan outlining where to put your resources to achieve the greatest probability of a high return. Our Preferred Markets Analysis includes analyzing the many drivers of your store's success from both sides of the supply and demand equation.
