How Spot Up thinks

Every neighbourhood,through five layers.

The market lies in depth. So Spot Up does not judge a neighbourhood by one number. It looks at it through five layers, then through your brand, and tells you plainly what it found.

One group of buyers lifted out of a dark crowd and separated into five stacked layers above a single parcel.

People

Who is there, and is the area growing?

How many people live and work in the neighbourhood, what stage of life they are at, and whether the area is filling up or thinning out.

Layer 01In plain words
The question it answersAre there enough of the right people here for your brand?
What you seeWhether the neighbourhood is large or small for you, and whether it is growing.

Spending power

Can people here afford you?

How well-off the neighbourhood is against the rest of its city, and how that sits against the prices you charge.

Layer 02In plain words
The question it answersDoes your price band suit this neighbourhood?
What you seeWhether the area sits above, at or below the level your prices need.

Movement

How do people move through it, and when?

How people move through the area in a normal week, and at what hours and on which days it is busy.

Layer 03In plain words
The question it answersWhen are people here, and when are they reachable?
What you seeThe times and days worth aiming at, and the ones to skip.

Market

Who already sells here?

Which brands like yours already sell to this neighbourhood, how crowded it is, and what they charge.

Layer 04In plain words
The question it answersIs there room for you here, and at what price?
What you seeWhether the market is open, busy or crowded for your category.

Demand

What are people looking for right now?

What people in the neighbourhood are looking for at the moment, and whether interest in your category is rising or falling.

Layer 05In plain words
The question it answersDo people here want what you sell, today?
What you seeWhether demand for your category is rising, steady or falling.

Then your brand

The same neighbourhood is right for one brand and wrong for another.

The five layers describe the neighbourhood. The last step reads them through your brand: your product, your prices, your sales so far and your past campaigns.

If you connect your orders, Spot Up first checks its picture against what you already know.

Your sideIn plain words
What you giveYour product and prices. Your orders and past campaigns, if you wish.
What changesThe ranking. A neighbourhood that suits a premium brand may not suit a value brand.

Three rules

What Spot Up holds itself to.

No single signal is trusted.

Signals are checked against each other before anything is recommended. When they disagree, you are told.

A range, not a falsely exact number.

An honest estimate is a range. A wide range means Spot Up is less sure, and it says so.

Every pick comes with its reasons.

In plain words, layer by layer, so you can check them and overrule them.

What it will not do

Honest about its limits.

  1. 01It will not give you an exact count of people.
  2. 02It will not promise a saving or a result.
  3. 03It will not hide when it is unsure.
  4. 04It will not spend, publish or send without your approval.
