Find The Best Locations With Confidence

What Is Market Optimization?

Market Optimization is a REGIS Online tool that identifies the best-performing locations in a market by weighting the demographic variables that matter most to a brand. Users select up to four variables, assign weights, ideal values, or acceptable ranges, and REGIS Online scores and ranks every area in a chosen trade area or geography against that model, visualized as a heat map. Results can be layered with traffic counts, merchants, and active listings, so users can move from a model directly to available properties.

Market Optimization in Action

Choosing the wrong property doesn't just waste money - it can cost millions, break client trust, and jeopardize future deals.

By mapping the demographic data with Market Optimization you get a clearer picture of where customers are really located.

Market Optimization vs. Market Match

Both tools grade a market against a model, but they build that model differently. Use Market Optimization when you know the demographics you want; use Market Match when you'd rather learn from your own top-performing sites.

Market Optimization: You Choose The Criteria

Select the demographic variables that matter to you, weight them, and let REGIS Online grade and rank every location in a market against that model.

Market Match: REGIS Online Learns From Your Sites
