  • 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

  • Peanut Free Snack List September 6, 2012
    Peanut Free Snack List September 6, 2012 Below is a list of snacks which are free from peanuts and have not been manufactured in a facility that processes peanuts. These are considered safe for children with peanut allergies. Please keep in mind this list is current as of August 2012, but manufacturers can change ingredients and/or they may change the facility where they make the product to one which has peanuts. The FDA (the food and drug administration, which is a US government body) requires that manufacturers list all allergens on their package and they must also list when a product is made in a facility which handles allergens. We will attempt to keep you up to date on any changes that may occur, but it is important that you read labels, especially for products not listed. How to read labels: Every product must have a list of its ingredients on the package. One way to read labels is to simply read the ingredient list. If peanuts are not listed, the product is safe. If the product doesn’t have an ingredient list, the contents are unknown and must be considered unsafe. In an effort to simplify reading labels, the FDA now requires manufacturers to list any potential allergens as a separate call‐out on the package. These call outs include such foods as peanuts, milk, wheat, eggs, tree‐nuts, and many other nuts. However, there is not yet consensus on exact terminology for the call‐out. At this point, the most common terms used are: ‐ Allergen information ‐ Contains ‐ May contain ‐ Product manufactured on shared equipment If peanuts are listed on any of these call‐outs, it is not a safe product! Keep in mind‐ Some products are safe if they are packaged one way‐ but not safe if packaged another way.
