Angels Camp Expands Focus on Tourism and Retail Development
Angels Camp, CA...Jan. 19, 2015 - The City of Angels Camp and Destination Angels Camp have entered into a partnership with Buxton to help strategically expand the city’s tourism and retail markets. Buxton’s best-in-class customer analytics will allow DAC to better understand the shopping and dining preferences of both visitors and residents and to identify the most promising potential retailers to attract to the area...
While retail economic development programs have traditionally relied on basic demographic information, DAC will utilize customer insights that go beyond demographics, presenting a convincing case to retailers seeking growth opportunities. Buxton’s proprietary web-based real estate platform, SCOUT®, will give local leaders the ability to analyze retail matches and support development decisions that benefit both residents and visitors.
“Angels Camp is committed to strategic development that attracts visitors and strengthens our local economy,” said Anne Forest, President and CEO of Destination Angels Camp. “We look forward to using the insights from Buxton’s analysis to better understand ways to enhance our community.”
“Buxton is pleased to partner with the City of Angels Camp,” said Lisa McCay, vice president in Buxton’s public sector division. “We will provide the analytical insights necessary for an effective tourism and retail development program.”
Buxton has worked with more than 650 cities nationwide to implement retail and tourism development strategies. Client cities in California include Palm Springs, Pasadena, South Gate and many others.
