Benchmark your Town Centre
An experienced retail researcher will visit your town to investigate the overall visitor experience with regard to public realm, services, feeling of safety and visual appeal. Then every business in the designated area will be visited and benchmarked against a range of markers including presentation, uniqueness of offering and price.
Benchmarking your town’s offering provides the foundation for building future strategies to entice, engage and retain local residents, workforces and visitors, encouraging them to return time and again.
“Working with Kerching Retail has been very enlightening and useful as well as very enjoyable. Kerching have given us a clear insight into the retail offer in Loughborough and provided a sharp focus for our future activities to try to improve that offer. Corin’s detailed knowledge of the retail sector and his practical and realistic advice have been invaluable.” Jonathan Hale – Loughborough BID
The Insight Report places emphasis on the current town centre retail provision, rather than infrastructure (see Town Centre Vitality Audit) and provides:
- An up to date picture of the retail and leisure mix in the town.
- A summary of store benchmarking
- Identification of potential categories or streets of concern
- A picture of potential leakage areas
- Identification of training needs of local businesses
- A gallery of photographs and supporting evidence
- 20-30 specific recommendations to address these findings
The research groundwork takes around 2-3 days, with the report preparation taking a further 3-5 days.
