What is a catchment analysis & why is it important for your business?
Gain your market insights with catchment analysis
Catchment is basically a defined area around a store, site or venue which can attract customers. The catchment area is the geographic area from which you open your store/business location to attract customers, whether prospective or existing. Your catchment area size depends on the nature of the business, the services/products offered and competitors in the local area. Any business, whether large or small, needs to understand their catchment area and the customer demographics to align their product/service offering, and thereby improve targeting. Catchment analysis is indispensable if you really want to target the right audience. It plays a vital role for evaluation and optimizing the distribution of your network of sales outlets or services.
