<br />Bu~ton<< <br /> <br />IDentifying Customers" <br /> <br />La Porte, TX: CommunityID Refresh <br /> <br />Drive-Time Trade Area Definition <br /> <br />Customers today shop by convenience, measuring distance based on time, not <br />mileage. Community ID will employ a custom drive -time analysis to determine <br />La Porte's trade area. An example of a drive-time trade area is shown in <br />Figure 1. <br /> <br />This custom analysis is developed using an in -house database supported by our <br />knowledge of individual retail client's actual trade areas. <br /> <br />The resulting drive-time trade area map will be a polygon that more accurately <br />depicts consumer shopping patterns than trade rings. <br /> <br />To assure the accuracy of the drive -time trade area, the draft maps are reviewed <br />with community leaders and verified before proceeding with the next step. <br /> <br />Figure l.Example - Drive-Time Trade Area <br /> <br /> <br />9 <br />
