Market Owners and Managers –

Know your worth to the local economy

 

 

 

In Spring 2015 ROI Team were commissioned by Nabma and the DCLG to undertake a slate of research to evaluate the economic contribution of markets locally and nationally, as part of the Mission for Markets agenda

 

Part of our work was to carry out original research in 6 markets across the UK ie

 

Ashton under Lyne

Keswick

Poulton le Fylde

Market Harborough

Kingston Ancient Market

Plymouth

 

At each of these markets we made projections of economic performance based on four lines of work ie

 

• Analysis of market footfall
• Survey of Market Customers
• Depth Interviews with Market Traders
• Interview with Market Manager or Markets Officer

 

The summary performance reports on these 6 markets are freely available from

www.roiteam.co.uk/news/mission-for-markets-markets-prove-their-performance/

 

The four documents in this section (bottom of the page) set out the approach followed by ROI Team to gather the data underlying these 6 market reports. We invite owners and managers of any market to carry out their own economic assessment by making use of this resource, which is free to use by market managers and their own staff and volunteers

 

Every market should be able to demonstrate its economic value to the communities that it serves. Now this toolkit makes this possible

 

Information on further resources available to support economic assessment in market environments is available from ROI Team via Hani.Ghalayini@rioteam.co.uk
