What is Catchment analysis?

Catchment analysis is the process of looking at the areas around your store locations that could bring in customers. Catchment areas are the areas around your business where customers come from. They help you figure out how customers behave and how many people walk by. In catchment analysis, you look at the areas around your stores to see how well they do there.

The goal of a catchment analysis is to get a clear picture of where and who your customers are. With demographic information like home addresses, ages, incomes, levels of education, and more, you can get a good idea of who your main audience is, which will help you serve them better and target new areas.

Catchment analysis will show you how your store locations cover the area and show you where there are gaps or overlaps. You can use this information to decide where to open new stores, where to close existing stores that aren’t doing well, and where to expand stores to better serve the most successful trade areas.
