Geomarketing for fashion and retail stores

Clothing, footwear and accessory stores: analyse the purchasing power and population profile of each area before choosing where to open.

What it solves for you

The right store, for the right customer

In retail, location weighs heavily. This is what POINOVA helps you see before you decide.

Does the area have the purchasing power for my brand?

Look at the income and profile of each neighbourhood and check whether it fits your positioning and prices.

Who is my real customer here? Pro

Age, households and type of population around your store, to tailor your product range, window display and communication.

Is there too much competition? Pro

Locate similar stores in the area and find out whether it is saturated or there is still room for you.

Use cases

How you decide where to open your fashion store

With the income, population and competition data for each neighbourhood, you check whether the location fits your brand before you sign the lease.

POINOVA map with net income by neighbourhood, its legend and the five highest-income neighbourhoods

Does the neighbourhood fit your brand?

Before signing a lease, you check the neighbourhood's average income on the map and compare it with your prices. If your brand is premium and the area has high purchasing power, it fits; if not, you keep looking for another street rather than risking the rent.

Get to know your real customer Pro

You look up the age, household size and type of population living around the location. With that profile you tailor your range, your window display and your messaging to the people who live near your store.

Spot gaps in the market Pro

You check on the map how many stores similar to yours are already in the area. That way you see how much direct competition the street already has before you sign anything.

What you can do with the map

Open your shop where your customers are

Look for the area that best fits your fashion store and size up the competition by retail type before signing the lease.

Score every zone Pro

NovaScore gives you a clear 0 to 100 score that measures what conditions each area brings together for your fashion shop.

Size up the competition Pro

See how many shops there are by fashion type and check whether the street is already saturated before you decide.

Heatmap of demand Pro

See in colour where the metric you choose, such as income, is highest and where fashion stores cluster in each neighbourhood.

Compare units Pro

Put several candidate units side by side and judge them all by the same yardstick.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about POINOVA for fashion and retail stores

What does POINOVA tell me about an area before opening a store?
For free, you see how many people live in the area, their income and the share of young and older residents, from official data. On the Pro plan you add the full population profile, competing stores nearby and NovaScore: the area's conditions for your type of store.
Can I compare several locations?
Yes, on the Pro plan. You put several areas side by side and compare their data point by point. Once you choose your type of store, they are ranked by NovaScore, so you can pick a site using the same criteria.
Do I need to know anything about maps or data analysis?
No. POINOVA is self-service and designed for business users: you pick or draw an area on the map and see its data. You can start for free, no card needed.
What can I do for free, and what needs the Pro plan?
Free: map with basic demographic data, population by area, country view by areas, drawing areas (2 isochrones a day) and up to 3 saved areas. On the Pro plan: NovaScore and 60+ indicators, competitors and points of interest, PDF and Excel reports, guided studies and territories.
Can I find out how many people walk past a venue?
We don't count the people who walk past your door. We tell you how many people live nearby and their income and, on the Pro plan, an estimate of daytime footfall in the areas where we calculate it, useful for comparing areas with each other.
