CONSUMERS’ USE OF LOCATIONS AND CHANNELS

Key issues and implications


Usage of local destinations has fallen

Regular usage of prime locations maintained

High street landlords need to recognise changes in shopping patterns

Impact of changes in distribution of share of spend - the online effect

Impact of changes in distribution of share of spend - the Tesco effect

Conclusion


Trends in use of shopping locations and channels


Local parades and high streets less widely used these days...

...but high streets retain their status as most widely used location

Stable trends in usage of other locations

Regional malls an exception

Growing usage of home shopping option


Figure 34: Trends in regular use of shopping locations, 1997-2006


High streets used more than three times as frequently as factory outlets

Strong high street offer will win spend

Less frequently used locations have to market themselves to win attention and spend


Figure 35: Average frequency usage of shopping locations, April 2006



Local parades losing regular shoppers



Figure 36: Use of local parades of shops, by frequency, 1997-2006


Convenience shopping main reason for using local parades

Understanding of catchment area vital for retail success

Convenience food opportunities


Regular usage of nearest high street or town centre under pressure...


...but continue to deliver retailers high levels of footfall


Figure 37: Use of nearest high street or town centre, by frequency, 1997-2006


Good quality footfall there to be exploited

Catchment area analysis of critical importance

Population change and shopping pattern changes a dynamic process


City centres draw in a wide range of shoppers on an occasional basis


External factors an influence


Figure 38: Use of city centre, by frequency, 1997-2006


Clustering youth-oriented brands to improve appeal

Integrated multichannel approach will attract affluent families


Travelling to use another town or city centre part of many people’s repertoires



Figure 39: Use of another town or city centre, by frequency, 1997-2006


Advertising beyond the immediate catchment area

Managed locations with an advertising budget best placed to win new customers


In-town shopping centres a key element of location repertoires



Figure 40: Use of covered shopping centre, by frequency, 1997-2006


Premium offer to attract high-spending young adults

Targeting occasional users can also improve footfall


Usage patterns for regional shopping centres indicative of changing behaviour


Congestion and increased numbers of fashion-oriented shopping parks are influencing factors


Figure 41: Use of regional shopping centre, by frequency, 1997-2006


Regional appeal varies with provision

Attracting family visits


Surge in usage of edge-of-town retail parks


Repurchase cycles influence usage

Fashion and shopping parks stimulating usage


Figure 42: Use of retail parks, by frequency, 1997-2006


Trends in weight of spend need careful monitoring

Multi-format strategy will pay dividends


Major out-of-town grocery superstores - the new department stores?


Expansion of standalone non-food stores will accelerate the trend


Figure 43: Use of non-food section of major grocery superstore, by frequency, April 2006


Convenience appeals strongly to families and will win share of high street spend

Broad appeal also a threat to retailers in other locations

Secondary grocery shopping stores likely to lose share of spend


Rapid expansion of shopping via the Internet undermines usage of other shopping locations


Store-based retailing has to become multichannel and utilise online to offer even greater convenience than pure-play online companies can offer


Figure 44: Use of Internet for shopping, by frequency, April 2006


Highest-spending consumers leading the way in online usage

Dislike of shopping with children drives families online


Shopping via mail order, TV shopping or other form of home shopping less widely used than online



Figure 45: Use of mail order or other form of home shopping, by frequency, April 2006


Families are key users of home shopping

Multichannel flexibility will appeal to ABC1 families


Factory outlet centre/designer outlet village mainly used on an occasional basis



Figure 46: Use of factory outlet centre/designer outlet village, by frequency, April 2006


Only the keenest shoppers visit

Matching tenant mix to shopper profile


Repertoires of locations


Wide repertoires imply high competitive awareness

Marketing of locations most important to major destinations within a region


Figure 47: Number of shopping destinations used, April 2006


Occasionally used destinations have greatest need for high-profile marketing




CONSUMER SPEND - HIGH STREET VERSUS OUT-OF-TOWN

Key issues and implications


High street continues to attract slightly greater weight of spend than out-of-town

Children and in-town shopping do not mix

Conclusion


Weight of spend slightly favours the high street


Figure 48: Comparison of relative spend, by location, April 2006


Frequency of use relative to average spend



Figure 49: Comparison of relative spend, by location, April 2006


No relationship between frequency of use and average spend is good news for high streets

Fluid spending patterns can be influenced

Competition intensifying for affluent, mobile shoppers with wide locational repertoires

Wide repertoires equate to high awareness of competing offers


High street expenditure patterns


Exploiting footfall potential of more affluent shoppers

Mindset not skewed to major shopping trips being made locally


Figure 50: Weight of spend in the high street, by gender, age and socio-economic group, April 2006


Exploiting footfall of younger shoppers

High street losing footfall of older people


Figure 51: Weight of spend in the high street, by lifestage, presence of children and Mintel's Special Groups, April 2006



Out-of-town expenditure patterns


Heavy spend concentrated on high-spending consumer groups


Figure 52: Weight of spend out of town, by gender, age and socio-economic group, April 2006


Children driving parents out of town?

Making high street shopping more appealing to families


Figure 53: Weight of spend out of town, by lifestage, presence of children and Mintel's Special Groups, April 2006





THE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE - HIGH STREET VERSUS OUT-OF-TOWN

Key issues and implications


Turning enjoyment into satisfaction

Less stressful and tiring alternatives have obvious appeal

Youth lifestyle formats

Conclusion


Comparison of shopping experiences


Enjoyment is highest-rated attribute of both locations...

...but shopping not perceived to be fun or exciting

High street shopping rated higher than out-of-town for negative sentiments

Focusing on delivering good standards of basic service will attract shoppers

High street shopping more expensive than out-of-town...

...but also more sociable

Can’t get no satisfaction


Figure 54: Perceptions of shopping experience, by location, April 2006



Cluster group analysis - common attitudes


Group 1: Hate It - 42%

Group 2: Love It - 19%

Group 3: Purely Practical - 39%

Older men just can’t come to terms with shopping...

...but younger women can’t get enough of it


Figure 55: Cluster groups, by gender, age and socio-economic group, April 2006


Presence of children adversely affects attitudes towards shopping


Figure 56: Cluster groups, by lifestage, presence of children and Mintel's Special Groups, April 2006



The relationship between attitude and expenditure - happy shoppers spend most


Figure 57: Expenditure levels between in-town and out-of-town locations, by cluster groups, April 2006


The relationship between attitude and repertoire - those that enjoy it use the widest repertoire of locations


Hate It group a target for online retailers

Love It group shop from widest repertoire


Figure 59: Number of locations used, by cluster groups, April 2006

Figure 64: Most popular perceptions of out-of-town shopping, by gender, age and socio-economic group, April 2006


More ABC1 families enjoy out-of-town shopping than find it stressful or frustrating

APPENDIX: RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Abstract

The demand for more out-of-town shopping has been the root cause of major changes in shopping location habits of the last 20 years. This change is considered in terms of quantifying the frequency of various shopping locations, and the difference in spending ‘in and out of’ town.

The impact of the Internet on shopping habits is also beginning to be felt by high-street retailers, and is causing many companies to review their space and location requirements. The report considers which sectors are likely to be similarly affected in future.

This report provides retailers, property investors and managers with an insight into what the impact of shopping patterns and spending behaviour are going to have on demand for retail space in the future.
