Borsuk, Mark
Online Buying Defies Site Selection
Folklore [www.mihalovich.com/columns/borsuk062000.htm]
June 2000 [Managing Director

The growth of online buying undermines the key
assumptions in site selection analysis used by mass merchandisers. The rise
of the non-geocentric buying habit presents new risks for property
investors and lenders. Furthermore, current
techniques fail to anticipate the impact of
online buying, giving developers and
retailers potentially false signals on new
store profitability. The pervasive belief
wired customers will continue to shop in the
same old way is an idea ready for the dustbin of history.

"The good news is that geodemographic- aided site selection is creating a
subindustry within Business Geographics to replace once pervasive silly,
wild aspatial guess (SWAG) approaches.... Driven by careful placement of
thumbs in the wind, SWAG seems to be on the way out."
