RESEARCH, MARKET SEGMENTS, CUSTOMER SERVICE

Customer Research

Catchment areas

Customer Service

It is imperative that you conduct research as part of your feasibility of establishing your business in the location you have found. What customers will be drawn to your new store and how will you communicate with them to grow your business?

The City as a whole draws customers from City offices, Universities, Inner Suburbs and further afield. Many of the mainstreets have defined catchment areas across the inner suburbs of Adelaide. We can help you understand the origin of customer trips. 

Retail Adelaide City can help you conduct a secret shopper report on your store to better understand how your staff are performing and the customer response. Store presentation and merchandising assessment and support can be provided.
