for Specialty Women’s Apparel Starter File: Chapter 1 CiP Exercise 2 Difficulty: Level 2
A key activity for marketing professionals is to analyze how population demographics change in certain regions.
This is especially important for specialty retail stores that target a specific age group within a population.

The decisions that can be made with such information include where to open new stores, whether existing
stores should be closed and reopened in other
communities, or whether the product assortment should be adjusted.
The purpose of this exercise is to use the skills presented
in this chapter
to analyze hypothetical population trends for a fashion
retailer.
