    Paid Attention: View Direction in Retail

    Retailers can boost revenue by measuring in-store attention
    Download Use Case

    Challenge

    Knowing how customers respond to changes in product placement and onsite marketing is crucial for unlocking the value of the physical retail space. Retailers constantly adjust product and promotional layouts in pursuit of optimal positioning for catching customers’ attention and improving conversion rates, but basing adjustments on point-of-sale data or on manual observation leaves too much room for uncertainty and costly guessing. 

    To adequately measure the effectiveness of in-store testing and advertising, retailers need: 

    • Icon

      Accurate, real-time data about customers' movements 

    • Icon

      Precise measurements of consumers' visual engagement with products  

    • Icon

      Automated data capture capabilities

    Solution

    A growing number of global retailers use behavioral analytics to understand how customers interact with in-store spaces and staff. View direction measurement, which lets retailers know how long consumers interacted with a particular product or designated space, is part of that trend.   

    By utilizing objective view direction data, retailers can make informed decisions about staff allocation and test layout changes.  

    View direction data can help retailers by:  

    • Icon

      Delivering KPIs that support fact-based decision-making  

    • Icon

      Alerting floor managers of the need to reposition staff or product  

    • Icon

      Determining whether conversion rates are product or site-specific  

    • Icon

      Differentiating between engaged shoppers and passersby 

    • Icon

      Validating the effectiveness of product promotions and positioning
