The Factor in Shops

The factor is a central comparative measure between different sales shelves of the same product. It significantly determines the attractiveness of a product for potential customers.

Basic Principle of the Factor

  • The city is divided into blocks, which go shopping throughout the day (visible under Product Overview → Shopping Statistics)
  • Each store sells to the blocks in its catchment area

  • Stores only compete with each other where their catchment areas overlap

The Local Trader as a Reference

  • The Local Trader is a competitor for everyone, as they sell to every block in the city
