“A company’s location speaks volumes about a company’s ‘personality’.” The Final Site Selection Successful entrepreneurs develop a site evaluation system that is both detailed and methodical. Each type of business has different evaluation criteria, and experience has taught successful entrepreneurs to analyze the facts and figures behind each potential location in search of the best possible site. A manufacturer may need to consider access to customers, raw materials, suppliers, labor, and suitable transportation. Service firms need access to customers but can generally survive in
lower-rent areas, whereas a retailer’s prime consideration is customer traffic. The one element common to all three is the need to locate where customers want to do business. The site location decision draws on the most precise information available on the makeup of the area. An entrepreneur can develop valuable insights regarding the characteristics of people and businesses in the immediate community. After narrowing the list of potential locations using statistics, entrepreneurs must visit each site for a firsthand view of its suitability. Many sites that look good “on paper” may be unsuitable because of other factors. On-site visits to potential locations are essential because they allow entrepreneurs to evaluate each site’s intangible aspects. sales per square foot exceed those of traditional outlets.

“A company’s location speaks volumes about a company’s ‘personality’.” The Final Site Selection Continued.. Many businesses are downsizing their outlets to lower their start-up and operating costs and to allow for a greater number of location options that are not available to full-sized stores. Many quick-service restaurants are placing smaller, less expensive outlets in locations that cannot support a full-sized store and are finding that sales per square foot exceed those of traditional outlets. Doughnut retailer Krispy Kreme is experimenting with its Neighborhood Shop and Kremery, small shops that are one-third the size of its regular “factory stores” that make and sell doughnuts on site. The smaller stores, which are located near factory stores that supply the doughnuts, allow the company to take its products to more customers by placing them in convenient locations that are not capable of housing a much larger traditional store. In a similar move, Baskin-Robbins is using a similar concept called BR Express to set up shops in small spaces in airports and on college campuses. Retailers and restaurateurs have discovered that these nontraditional locations can generate three to five times more traffic than location sin shopping centers and malls. Finally, an entrepreneur must be careful to select a site that creates the right impression for a business in the customers’ eyes. A company’s location speaks volumes about a company’s “personality.”

New Generation Consumers’ Preferences on Advertising Through Digital Media in Mexico: An Exploratory Study Written by Diana Dávila Ruiz, Universidad de Monterrey and Kishwar Joonas, Prairie View A&M University.
Executive Director Dr. Don B. Bradley III
Abstract
Development Interns
Extant research points to a changing characteristics as well as digital media behaviors and preferences of new generation consumers in relation to advertising. Our exploratory study among 402 new generation consumers in Mexico comprised both qualitative and quantitative research. We examined the effect of belonging to a particular segment, on ad skepticism among such consumers. In addition, we investigated the impact of gender, segment, and skepticism on consumers’ preference for Transformational and Informational ads. We present our findings, discuss limitations, and describe some implications for research and practice.
