Optimize Revenues & customer experience
UCG offers deep experience and a thorough understanding of the challenges—and exciting opportunities—of retail, customer service and hospitality programs. Over 50 clients have worked with the UCG team to imagine, evolve and even reinvent their concessions programs. Our clients look to us for expertise across a wide expanse of competencies such as planning and analysis, RFP development and administration, tenant outreach and leasing, retail management, and even customer service training.
planning, analysis and development
Truly inspired programs are built on data…starting with trends and innovations, customer characteristics and behaviors, and location-specific performance figures. We’ve amassed an enormous volume of data which we supplement with location-specific information. Then our team provides market research, concessions planning services, sizing analysis, merchandising and space planning, financial projections, capital budgeting, and transition planning.
tenant outreach, RFP development and leasing
We’re known for creating concessions programs that evoke a sense of place. Our programs ensure the participation of both national brands and regional favorites, while creating opportunities for local and ACDBE businesses. We leverage both deep expertise and valuable relationships—and often act as partners throughout the entire RFP development, administration and evaluation process—all the way through the development and negotiation of lease agreements.
concessions marketing optimization
Impactful and efficient use of concessions marketing fund resources can significantly elevate sales performance and customer engagement. Our Concessions Marketing Optimization Platform supports concessions management teams with limited marketing experience and manpower in the strategic planning and analysis of marketing fund expenditures, resulting in increased sales & revenue and enhanced experiences.
retail management
Ensuring the effective operation and high performance of concessions programs takes constant attention to operations, concessionaire performance, and customer service. Clients trust UCG for financial controls, accounting and program analysis, lease administration, ACDBE and street pricing compliance review, marketing fund management, operations management, project coordination, specialty leasing and more. We even offer more specialized expertise including security badging procedures and delivery and distribution systems.
customer service training
Quality customer service is one of the most important factors in enhancing the passenger experience. Employees at all levels perform better when they know what standards are expected. We’ve developed customer service training programs for concessionaires that focus on how to deliver first-class experiences in a busy environment
