~u~,ton~ <br />'°g"~y'"gc°5`°'"en South Send, IN: CommunitylD Proposal <br />Drive-Time Trade Area Definition <br />Customers today shop by convenience, measuring distance based on time, not <br />mileage. CommunitylD will employ a custom drive-time analysis to determine <br />South Bend's trade area. An example of a drive-time trade area is shown in <br />Figurel. <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 />The resulting drive-time trade area map will be a polygon that more accurately <br />depicts consumer shopping patterns than trade rings. <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 />Figure 1.Example -Drive-Time Trade Area <br />
