Brands
As a consumer, you want to associate with brands whose powerful presence creates a halo effect that rubs off on you.
Tom Peters
The way customers relate to brands and how profit is generated has changed so dramatically almost every professional is being challenged to reconsider what they do in order to stay relevant.

Scotland’s Towns – Case study
Partner research with University of Stirling (Professor Leigh Sparks) in
2013 on top 100 towns.
What is the retail scale and make-up of Scottish towns and cities?
2. How variable are Scottish towns and cities in their retailing?
3. How significant is retail vacancy?
4. Can we explain some of the patterns found?

Summary
• More business failures/closures to come = more empty premises
• Significant variance in performance by location and type
• NEW AGE Technology is driving consolidation
• OLD AGE Property costs deterring occupation
• ‘All inclusive’ locations will get the consumers
• What can be done with the 15% + vacancy locations?
• Knowledge and understanding of national trends applied locally is key
• Ignore consumers at your peril!
“To open a shop is easy, to
keep it open is an art.”
