Turning shopper data into insights for leasing strategies & asset management
Aligning brands with shopper profiles
By leveraging Acorn segmentation data to highlight which brands align with your centre’s shopper profiles, Shopper Dimensions enables a targeted leasing strategy, optimises the brand mix and ensures your centre remains attractive to both your core customers and the ones you want.
Cross-shopping & brand mixing that maximises spend
By seeing which brands are often shopped together, you can target complementary stores and create leasing plans that make shopping easier and more enjoyable for your customers. This helps you plan promotions and partnerships that boost spend.
These insights can guide where brands should sit, inform zoning to encourage longer visits and shape a mix that maximises spend per trip.
Understand your competition
By understanding who lives in your centre’s catchment area— where they’re shopping and the brands they’re spending in when not with you— you can identify gaps in your brand mix to attract strategic tenants.
Segmenting by your core demographic groups provides a foundation for your leasing strategy, allowing you to target brands to come to your centre, capture customer spending and appeal to your target shoppers.
Comparing centres to strategise & optimise opportunities
Compare your centre with others based on transaction value, trip value, share of wallet, spend profiles and year-on-year brand performance. Through this insight, you can track KPIs and spot areas for growth.
Brand ranking for enhanced asset management
Assess the performance of national and portfolio-specific brands to gauge tenant churn risk and enhance your leasing and retention strategies. By ranking brands across both benchmarks, you can identify at-risk tenants, support retention and conduct portfolio health checks and risk assessments for potential closures.
Validating asset performance & supporting due diligence
Understand whether your investment is performing well for optimal decision-making and maximise asset growth opportunities through access to robust data.
