10x Location Analysis
Go from ZERO to EFFECTIVE in Anonymous Location Intelligence - for retail technology, marketing & physical store professionals
What the Big Difference between Quick Win 5% ROI & Sales-Booster Location Analytics Solution … and a commodity-priced tech that barely covers costs?
If you guessed “100% Accuracy” counting solution… you’d be wrong.
If you guessed WiFi Tracking that detects traffic in & out the store, inside the store, and in proximity to the store…you’d be wrong.
If you guessed Vision Analytics that self-learns how to track people, and recognizes facial bio-metrics & emotions…you’d be wrong.
While all these people tracking technologies have their place
They are only part of the equation
Unless you’ve ENGINEERED your team to work with the data, seek context, and know how to ask “correct” questions…
The impact and income you’re working tirelessly to scale will at best come at the expense of your sleep levels…
… and at worst, erupt into flames as you constantly flirt with an unrelenting sense of burnout.
AND EVEN YOU NOW HAVE THE ABILITY TO…
… Sell your tracking technology and generate fast cash from retailers & mall owners who want to monitor their traffic and sales conversion
… Position your business as a trusted provider of tracking technology & services for your channel partners and customers
… Brand yourself as an open mindset professional who leads your colleagues and clients during these tremulous times in retail
NOTHING WORKED AS PLANNED.
>>> Your company spent years building a solution only to find out that retailers don’t care. They have tons of other projects in the priority pipeline and footfall traffic is just ‘more data’
>>> Your company spent much energy and much money on technology expertise, improving accuracy, and designing dashboards. When the pilot is finally running, both the retailer and you are buffed on how to make the data more ‘actionable’.
>>> You are in charge, and your team, and your customers, are looking at you for the answers. You know in your heart that location-based solutions are in a ‘hot market’ but you feel stumped when asked why. Your customers look at the traffic data, and your nightmare becomes a reality when they say – So What?
What would happen if your retailers see Anonymous Location Analytics as a MUST-HAVE?

Here’s the challenge:
In the survey "Location Analytics in Retail: New Data, New Opportunities" by RSR Research:
“Even at the highest levels, retailers don’t really understand either the rewards or the risks associated with anonymous vs. non-anonymous customer Geo-Location data.”
And yet
"90% of retailers consider anonymous location data as “IMPORTANT” for measuring Customer Traffic in around the store."
3 Profit-Killing Myths on Anonymous Location Analytics You Need to Break if You Want to AVOID being trapped in Price Wars
1. “Advanced Technology” cures all
I’ll admit
Advanced Technology is sexy. If you saw Vision Analytics, Facial Bio Metrics, or Sentiment Analytics in action, the WOW is seducing.
But in Location Analysis, the only thing we care about is location & time data. It does not matter what else the technology does or not. The objective of Location Intelligence is to understand demand & sales opportunities.
The trick is…as long as your technology generates the “correct” metrics in a way that retailers understand – your location-based data will provide context about the sales potential for that physical store.
2. Your solution must have 100% Accuracy
Newsflash: Every technology has a place in the retailer’s universe.
First and foremost, Good Enough Accuracy has guidelines. And if you understand the Best Practices of Audits and how to design Proof of Concept, you can easily go behind colorful statements such as “Bullet Proof 100%”.
The trick is...master projects in people tracking solutions with knowing how to adapt your technology to the client’s business objective.
3. Your solution must capture the Customer’s Identity
Here’s the "hard truth" – most retailers don’t have the infrastructure, talent and processes to handle Personalization with Location Marketing.
More important, you can achieve significant improvements in targeting just by measuring, and segmenting, the store’s footfall traffic.
The trick is...cultivate data-driven decisions as an integrated part of your location intelligence solution.
If you think that building anonymous location-based solution is wasting your time & resources, you are selling it & yourself wrong.
When you position People Tracking as Business Intelligence for Physical Stores, you’ll finally…
- Be considered as a trusted partner by your clients
- Avoid trapping your company in competitive price wars
- Be the valuable Go-To Person in attractive projects
- Get targeted referrals from your happy customers
- Be the Expert Leader to your team & to your market
