Evaluation
We could have made our results more reliable by visiting more shopping centres and researching them. I could of made my results better by going back on an other day like a Saturday to see which shop most people visit and buy from, we could also go back on a weekend and ask people a questionnaire about the centre and why they like it a why they don’t like it. To make my results better I could have had a grade system were 5 is good and 1 is not very good. So 5 will be a high order shop and number 1 would be a low order shop. I could have also compared my results with other students to make my results more reliable. If I was to open a high order shop I would of opened in it Acocks green because there are more shoppers there, if I chose to open it in Fox Hollies or School Road I would make less profit because there are not many shoppers there going there.
