  • Consumer Propensity Report by Category
    Consumer Propensity Report Marketing and Merchandising Intelligence for Local Business The Consumer Propensity Report (CPR) shows the lifestyle, product, and psychographic likelihood indices for the consumers within the trade area being analyzed. Major retail, restaurant, grocery, and consumer packaged goods firms use this very same information to drive marketing and merchandising decisions. Each analyzed item is assigned a propensity index score with 100 being average. For example, if the consumers within a trade score a 120 for a given analysis item you know that those consumers are 20% more likely to participate in or purchase that item than the average American household. A propensity index score of 80 would indicate that those consumers would be 20% less likely than the average American household to participate in or purchase that item. Information is provided for 32 major categories with over 4,800 total line items. Please note that line items are based upon national‐level purchasing and lifestyle characteristics. These line items are then correlated to the underlying household characteristics of the consumers within the trade area being analyzed. Some line items may not be necessarily relevant or available currently in your market or region. The index score in these situations serves to indicate the degree to which the consumers would participate in or purchase that item if it were relevant and available. Often this is taken as an opportunity for expansion of a similar brand or concept within the category. CPR Categories Apparel

  • Foundation Corner... Kevin
    volume ten | issue three | september 2010 A word from Kevin... Hello, To say the summer has flown by is a huge understatement. It seems like only yesterday we were rolling into Daytona to start the 2010 season, and now we’re getting ready to start the Chase for the Championship. I’m happy to say that not only did we qualify for the Chase this year, but we clinched our spot four races early with a win in Michigan. I always look forward to the races that fall during the summer stretch because they tend to be some of the better ones for me and the 29 team, and this season has been no exception. We were able to win races at Daytona and Michigan and record seven top-five and eight top-10 finishes. Consistency, paired with fast race cars, has been the key to the 29 team’s success this year, and it has enabled me to lead the points for the longest consecutive span in my Cup career. I feel as ready and as confident as I ever have going into the Chase. We’ve shown we can contend for the championship; we just have to go out there and do it. Our game plan for the last 10 races is “business as usual” because that’s what got us here. I’m also pretty excited about our recent announcement that Budweiser will be my sponsor on the 29 starting in 2011. Budweiser is one of the most respected sponsors in our sport, with such a rich history, and I’m really proud that I get to add my name to the list of drivers who have represented them starting next year.
