In order to find a profitable location for your business, you will want to consider the various factors that will increase customer traffic to your location. Here are a few questions to ask yourself as you are considering what type of location would be best for your business:
- Will customers be walking in? It is important to distinguish between foot and automobile traffic. For example, if you are opening a coffee shop in the city, you might depend on nearby pedestrian traffic for business.
- Will customers be driving to our location, and if so, is there parking available? For example, if you are opening an auto repair shop, you might want to locate on a well-travelled street where your business will be noticed by drivers.
- Will the reputation of a particular area or building help draw more customers?
- Will we draw more customers in a space near other similar businesses? A woman’s clothing shop might do well near other clothing stores, since people shopping for clothes tend to spend some time browsing multiple stores in a particular area.
Finding the perfect location varies from business to business. Be sure to take some time to consider the habits of the customers you are interested in before choosing a location.
