          Use the model to forecast sales for new
            locations. If designed to use nationally available data, the model can be used throughout
            the US. 
          
          
          We have built models that offer an inexpensive "First Pass" to see if
            there is sufficient market demand for a new unit. 
          
          
          A "Second Pass" model would couple the demand forecast with inexpensive
            competitive research in a gravity model to see if the supply and demand balance are
            favorable. 
          
          
          If a location passes both these preliminary analyses, detailed competition and
            local conditions research become the foundation of a comprehensive market feasibility
            study. 
          
         
        
          
          The forecasted market share for
            each neighborhood is shown below. To forecast sales, multiply the forecasted market share
            by the forecasted sales potential.
