Merchandise Plan:

Denver International Airport

Overview

The Denver International Airport (DEN) commissioned BBC to conduct research related to its concessions program and develop a merchandise guidance plan to inform various concessions-related decisions that the airport makes.

 

BBC’s research and analysis included insights from various DEN stakeholders including DEN passengers; airline representatives; concessionaires; concessions program administrators; and representatives from peer airports. BBC engaged those stakeholders through different research tasks including focus groups, analyses of peer airports, a S.W.O.T. analysis, traffic volume forecasts, and onsite intercept surveys with more than 4,000 passengers.

Continuous Improvement: Since completing the merchandise guidance plan, BBC has conducted several follow-on projects for DEN related to various areas of the airport’s concessions program including concept selection, improving customer service, and assessing concession performance.
