Duty Free

Most passengers that visit airport duty-free shops are either hurrying to meet a flight or heading home after an exhausting journey. These individuals do not have the time to stand in lines or make inquiries about products; all they want to do is walk in, make a purchase, and check-out without hassle or delays. Duty-free shoppers buy more items on average, and given the number of people that pass through airports, shops that provide quick and efficient services will gain a large customer base in no time.

People counting technology provides shop managers with traffic data and queue management solutions and helps them anticipate delays and deploys workers to clear outlines, even as they form. Historical data from these devices also help managers anticipate peak periods and provide extra workers during checkout in advance. Heatmap technology shows how customers move around in the store; this information can be used to predict shopping habits and optimize marketing campaigns

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I attract more visitors to my store?

Start by measuring how many people pass by and how many actually come into your store. People counting reveals your real foot traffic and capture rate, so you can test layouts, displays, promotions and opening hours and see what truly draws people in. V-Count's AI sensors measure this with up to 99% accuracy in the BoostBI dashboard.

Why are my results flat even when the store looks busy?

A busy-looking store doesn't always perform. Comparing visitor numbers with your outcomes such as sales, bookings or usage gives you a conversion rate, so you can tell whether the problem is getting people in or what happens once they are inside, and fix the right thing.

How do I know if my marketing and promotions actually bring people in?

Track footfall before, during and after each campaign. If a promotion is working you will see more visitors in that window. People counting links your marketing spend to real visits, so you can invest in what works and drop what doesn't.

When are my busiest times and how many staff do I really need?

Hourly and daily visitor data shows your true peak times, so you can schedule staff when people are actually there, improving service while cutting wasted labour cost. BoostBI turns this into clear charts and real-time alerts.

How can I count visitors accurately without cameras or privacy risk?

V-Count's 3D AI sensors count people anonymously and never record faces or personal data, so they are fully GDPR-compliant, while still delivering up to 99% accuracy, far above older infrared or Wi-Fi methods.
