Measuring In-Store Dwell Times
Challenge
Physical retailers want to replicate metrics already used by e-commerce sellers to gauge a customer’s interest in a particular product. Manual observation of how long customers spend looking at a product or shelf can be costly and inexact, especially if the behavior is responsive to observation. In addition to potentially creating an unnecessary obstacle, positioning a designated employee or third-party contractor to measure dwell times in a specific zone also interferes with optimal staff allocation.
Retailers wanting to make the most of store layout and product positioning need to know:
The relationship between dwell time and conversion rate
-
The impact of product position on dwell times
-
When a customer is browsing or visually engaging with a product
