More Brands Seeking Enriched In-Store Experiences

Immense growth in the adoption of in-store traffic metrics worldwide as more brands, such as Deciem and Ritual, seek enhanced in-person experiences.

RetailNext Inc, the worldwide market leader in IoT smart store analytics for optimizing shopper experiences at brick-and-mortar retail stores, continues to experience global growth in the adoption of its in-store analytics as more brands seek accurate and reliable data to unpack shopper behaviors that drive profitability. At the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, RetailNext noted an increasing number of retailers standardizing traffic as a key metric to create safer shopping experiences. This upward trend has continued, with more retailers now also using the platform to reveal new opportunities about how to enhance in-person experiences for customers fatigued by the pandemic.

DECIEM, which is an umbrella of good beauty brands like NIOD, Hylamide, and The Ordinary, recently selected RetailNext to measure and analyze customer engagement with its products in brick-and-mortar stores, in order to optimize product performance.
