We provide proprietary data sets to inform retail location planning decisions.
Our understanding of retail locations is informed by a range of proprietary data sets.
- Retail venue rankings in UK and Europe
- Retailer performance benchmarking
- Site quality metrics
- Shopping patterns and catchments
- Lifestyle/demographics geographic data sets
- Customer segmentations
- Consumer level data
We combine these data sets with relevant external market and demographic data to gain a 360 degree perspective of demand. Our data sets are used in our project work and they can also be licensed as standalone products.
This data is also highly relevant to many other sectors including leisure, foodservice, consumer goods, financial services, telecommunications, utilities, automotive and the public sector.

Retail Customer Data Audit
The use of unclean retail customer data can lead to poor location planning decisions, wasted marketing mailings, lost prospects and potential brand damage. However, all these issues can be kept to an absolute minimum by passing your retail customer data through a Data Quality Audit. In addition, the key characteristics of your retail customers can also be fully understood from our Insight Opportunity Reports.
Data Quality Audit
Good data quality is key when performing any form of business analysis. In partnership with Acxiom, Javelin Group can provide a Data Quality Audit to allow you to understand the quality of your retail customer data:
- Clean (hygiene): Validate addresses, correct spelling mistakes, add titles identified by gender
- Protect (suppression): Identify deceased, goneaways and those not wishing to receive unsolicited mailings
- Recognise (dedupe): Reveal duplication within and between files (even if people have moved/changed names)
Customer data changes at a rate of 2.4% per year. This means that a 1 million record consumer database loses 24,000 records per year if nothing is done to preserve data quality.
Insight Opportunity Reports
Insight Opportunity Reports provide information on your retail customers, which can be used to build retention, acquire new customers, cross-sell additional products/services and tailor campaigns. You will be able to understand:
- Levels of economic stability
- Real disposable income and available expenditure
- Key lifestyle/demographic/behavioural characteristics
- Expected email/telephone append rates
Consumer data for direct marketing
Javelin Group are able to supply consumer names, address, telephone numbers and email addresses to support your customer acquisition, retention or cross-sell campaigns. Data is held on over 16 million UK consumers, including demographic, behavioural, lifestyle and purchasing power variables to drive a whole range of marketing initiatives.
