Example Use Case:
CPG firms and other companies select pop-up sites by using demographic data to identify where target segments may live and work, allowing them to reduce the risk of a poor site decision. By looking at age, gender, rental price data and living conditions, companies can identify ideal locations based on the target audience of the product potentially being sold at the pop up site.
