In-store retail analytics are giving retailers more crucial insight into what is happening in their stores. Without these key information, ideas about customer behaviors and strategy decisions are informed only by guesswork.

One of the key metrics is a store’s conversion rate. A conversion rate is the percentage of customers who come into a store vs. the people who leave with a purchase. For example, if 50 people made a purchase out of the 200 people who visited the store, the conversion rate would be:

50 / 200 x 100% = 25%

Conversion data is crucial for businesses that want to understand their customers to determine if they are maximizing their resources, whether it’s offering the right discount or sales campaign at the right time or making the most of their floor space by diversifying their goods.
