Many shops do not do well in site selection. They only know their regret after opening a shop, but the money has already been invested.

Classification of cities: in large scale chain operations, whether to enter a city or how to enter a city is the first problem. In traditional practice, we usually look at per capita income, urban development and so on. Ignoring a macro premise, the type of city. Now let me briefly talk about:

Cities can be roughly divided into 3 categories: industrialized cities, transport hub cities, and mixed cities.

1. industrialized cities:

It is a single functional city developed from modern industrial civilization. A small population is mostly the employees and family members of one or several large enterprises. According to their industrial projects, this city can be categorized as: Mining Cities (such as Daqing, Karamay, Fushun, etc.), heavy industrial cities (such as Anshan, Benxi), light industrial cities (e.g. Dongguan, Panyu, etc.), and in the 80s, electronic and high-tech industrial cities came out, but they all attached to large cities and belonged to the satellite city.

2. traffic hub city:

Generally, such cities are generated by two factors: geographical location and administrative divisions. Their construction time is very early, most of them have a history of 100 years, and they are the distribution center of commodities and information. We also classify them: the door type (the necessary place to enter a certain area: Mountain customs), the cross type (several traffic routes crossing: Wuhan, Zhengzhou), the port type (a major port or inland port: Dalian, Qinhuangdao), the regional core type (the core city of a region: Shenyang, Xi'an).

3. hybrid:

Two kinds of urban functions are mixed, many of which are influenced by government policies. Often become a large city or city group. We can also categorize them as: industrial central cities (relying on the industrial satellite towns or parks around them, giving full play to the advantages of their transport hub: such as Shenzhen) and the economic and trade center cities (relying on their economic and trade advantages in hardware and software), vigorously developing new industrial parks and industrial satellite cities: Shanghai, Beijing, and the administrative central cities (capital and provincial seat are also industrial cities such as Beijing and Changchun).

Before we enter a new city, we should classify the nature of the city to determine its format, target customers, commodity structure, price band, competition method and so on.

Let's look at a case:

Background: a chain store fashion department store is planning to open second branches in the northeast region.

There are 3 cities to choose from: 1, Daqing 2, Shenyang 3, Dalian.

Average price of goods: 100 yuan ~400 yuan.

Average customer price: 200 yuan.

Business mode: fashion brand joint counters

Analysis: (the following is internal information for reference only, for sample analysis purposes, private application consequences conceit)

First, the cities are analyzed one by one.

Daqing: Mining City,

Consumer structure: the population is 2 million, and the average monthly income of target customers is 2300 yuan, which is in the stable period of population. Target customers account for about 6% of the population.

Business structure: high proportion of traditional business and rapid development of new business. Competition is not fierce. Business is being irradiated.
