Footfall Uplift

What is Footfall Uplift?

Footfall can be defined as the number of people entering a store. It is an indicator of how audiences behave in the real world, indicating who, what, when, and how often audiences visit stores and competitors.

This option allows you to measure the impact of your campaign on your shop visits.

The analysis of the uplift in shop visits is carried out by our partner Adsquare.

How is it measured?

Through the use of anonymous mobile geolocation data, Adsquare establishes two groups of people of equivalent volume:

  • the exposed group is established with the people potentially exposed to the advert, i.e. who were located within a radius close to the screens that broadcast your advert during the period.
  • the unexposed group is established with a sample of people not exposed to the commercial For each group, Adsquare analyses in-store traffic over the period and compares the data to measure the uplift of visits by people exposed to your campaign.

Why is this service useful?

The Footfall measurement provides an additional ad engagement KPI: the number of consumers who visit a store or other physical location after being exposed to a marketing campaign. Thanks to the real-time delivery of this KPI, you can optimize your drive-to-store campaigns more efficiently, optimize spend and validate your media investment.

How to interpret Footfall Measurement Results?

  • Customer visits sent by Adsquare are not filtered or extrapolated

  • Real-Time Footfall Measurement with Adsquare works omnichannel and helps you to establish a new KPI by measuring the success of your digital campaign in regards to store visits across channels: mobile and display programmatic, social media, audio, video, search and DOOH.

  • Adsquare does not provide benchmarks in terms of what can be considered adequate numbers of visits for your campaign. Reason being that there are multiple factors that influence the success of a campaign and are out of our control: the advertised product or service, the messaging, the creative or the media buying strategy, just to name a few.

  • Bear in mind that Footfall Measurement isn’t about absolutes: it’s about understanding the success of your campaign by analysing a statistically relevant sample size and comparing it to a baseline of activity.

  • Some DSPs support you in creating a control group for your campaign. Please, reach out to your respective DSP Account Manager.
