Heat Maps in Retail: Understanding Zones of Interest
Challenge
Better understanding the relationship between product placement and sales is a goal of retailers looking to improve conversion rates and space utilization. “Gut feeling” and designating staff to do manual counts with hand-clickers, methods that have guided placement decisions for decades, are woefully outdated. Modern retailers want accessible data on:
Footfall trends in different parts of physical locations
Product performance data based on positioning changes
Responses to product placement based on demographic splits
Solution
Actionable insights into store layout and the customer journey based on the popularity of in-store areas at different times accessed as an image including historical traffic flow maps help retailers to:
Identify areas with the highest and lowest in-store marketing potential
Planning store layout in response to traffic trends
Testing the impact of product positioning, staff adjustment and store concepts
