The three profit pillars of retail

ShopperTrak delivers insight into consumer behaviour that enables retailers to manage their
businesses better. This value rests on three profit pillars, essential to modern retailers: Traffic, Conversion and Average Transaction Value. Influencing any of these profit pillars will have an incremental effect on sales and revenue. .

ShopperTrak’s perimeter analytics accurately recordsincreases and decreases in store traffic, enabling retailers to identify their Power Hours, or peak selling times, and staff their stores accordingly. They are also able to map traffic figures to conversion rates helping them to determine whether marketing or operational changes have had an impact on conversion rates.

Interior analytics enables retailers to drill down further, accurately reporting on traffic passing by the store, dwell times, frequency of visit and abandonment rates as well as other indicators that provide vital insight into consumer behaviour. These metrics help retailers identify opportunities to increase customer engagement and convert more browsers into buyers. Marketing initiatives can also be targeted towards dominant customer demographics in-store as well as determining their optimum sales intercept times in order to increase average transaction sizes.

Store performance can be measured in one single outlet, across a national store network or globally – giving retailers the tools to set and measure KPIs according to each individual store but to have a holistic view of the entire chain.
