What does “Range of goods or services” mean in terms of geography?
The range of goods and services is the distance at which a place (e.g. a shopping centre), has an effect on consumer purchasing. Using Ravenstein’s ‘law of gravitation model’ he states that the larger the area the place of origin of the goods and services and the more choice and variety it provides, the further people are willing to travel. E.g. Ikea has a big range for it’s goods and services, people travel up large distances just to shop there.
