In this blog post, we will explain why public facilities (such as city centers) retail stores and malls and should know their visitor frequency and why combining this information with sales data is a great idea.
Interest in collecting information about visitor traffic has increased significantly over the last 30 years. When IMAS started counting people and customers in the 1980s, radar sensors were the latest technology in-house. Today we see exciting new technologies and updates on the market every year, such as WiFi technology and camera sensors with AI.
The basis for visitor frequency remains the same
Regardless of the technique used, the basics of calculating the visit rate remain the same. The number of people entering and exiting the shop, building or street is counted. The information is collected and via an analysis tool, for example the IMAS analysis portal Xperio, you can get a simple overview of the number of visitors and how the frequency of visits changes over time.
Visit frequency indicates how often a visitor visits a store or website per minute, hour, day and year.
