When naming a space there are few key recommendations to make the process as seamless as possibly.
A “space” is any single unit that can be occupied by a retailer. A space is often located within a shopping location, which contains more than two spaces. It is not recommended to add multi-unit buildings as a space.
When adding a space, you can relate the space to a shopping location/building. This is recommended because it will make the space easier to find if you have many spaces in the CRM.
When naming a space, it is recommended to:
- Keep it short and recognizable
- Whenever possible, stay consistent with external documents
-
- For example, if a site plan refers to the spaces as “Unit 10”, you may also want to name in “Unit 10” in Retailsphere.
-
- For freestanding or pad spaces, use a partial address (Example: “123 Cross Street”)
When naming a space, it is not recommended to:
- Add the shopping location name (you can assign a location to the space in another field)
- Add the tenant name (you can assign a retailer to the space in another field)
- Add the full address including city, state, zip-code
- Use a name others may not recognize
