Advanced Huff Model (Business Analyst)
概要
Creates a probability surface to predict the sales potential of an area based on distance and attractiveness factors. Creates a probability surface to predict the sales potential of an area based on distance and attractiveness factors
使用法
-
The results of the Huff Model can be used to:
- Estimate market potential.
- Define and analyze market potential.
- Assess economic impact of a new site location.
- Forecast sales and potential of existing stores and outlets.
- Assess the impact of competitive and environmental changes on outlet performance.
-
The first step to executing this tool is to define a study area that includes all the trade areas of all competing stores being analyzed.
-
The Sales Potential Layer is usually a polygon features representing subareas where the potential customers live. Point features can also be used; for example, block centroids that have associated demographic data.
-
The Competitive Store Layer should include all competitive locations in a given study area. This layer should also include any of your existing store locations in the study area, since they will act as competitors to a new store location. In most cases, the competitive store layer will be a Business Analyst store layer.
-
Competitive store locations can be extracted from the Add Business Listings function in Business Analyst.
-
A higher Distance Coefficient indicates that distance will have a greater impact on consumer behavior. For example, consumers are more willing to travel farther for high-order goods, such as automobiles and furniture, than they are for low-order goods, such as groceries.
-
The output of the Huff Model generates probabilities and estimated sales for each subgeographic area. The output probabilities can be used to define primary market (trade) areas for a new store location. For example, a trade area can be created using the Dissolve By Attribute tool to create a primary market area that includes all the subgeography areas that have a probability higher than 40 percent of patronizing the new store location.
-
The spatial reference of the output feature class will be the same as the Sales Potential Layer.
-
The Potential Sales Field measure the attractiveness of a store. The values in this field, also known as predictor values, often include attributes of a store, such as square footage, number of parking spaces, advertising, store hours, prices, age, appearance, signage, accessibility, and so forth.
