Product Interest

Product Interest report main screen
The Product Interest screen: interest gaze-time threshold, interest comparison distribution, and detailed zone interest analysis

Product Interest quantifies customer response from visit → interest for every product displayed in the store. When a customer account is issued, only the products of the maker linked to the account are shown. All other products are blurred (hidden). See What a customer account sees below for details.

Metric definitions

MetricDefinition
VisitsCustomers who entered the zone in front of the display stand (the interest zone). A customer entering several times on the same day is counted once.
InterestVisiting customers who stood in the zone in front of the display stand and looked at it for at least the selected time (3, 5, or 10 seconds)
Interest rateinterest ÷ visits × 100
Total dwell timeThe sum of the time interested customers spent from entering to leaving the zone in front of the display stand. A visit with no exit record counts as 0 seconds.
Average dwell timetotal dwell time ÷ number of interested customers

Interest gaze-time threshold

Interest gaze-time threshold selector — 3 seconds or more, 5 seconds or more, 10 seconds or more
Choose the gaze time that counts as interest
  • Visiting customers who gazed at the display stand for at least this long are counted as interested.
  • Choose 3 seconds or more / 5 seconds or more / 10 seconds or more; the selected threshold applies to every chart on this page at once.

Examples

  • Compare product appeal in stages, separating a passing glance (3 seconds) from close examination (10 seconds).
  • Evaluate products that need their description read with the 10-second threshold, and intuitive products with the 3-second threshold.

Interest comparison distribution

Interest comparison distribution — store map and a visit × interest-rate quadrant scatter plot
Products placed in quadrants based on the median visits and the median interest rate
  • Each product’s visits (horizontal axis) and interest rate (vertical axis) are plotted in quadrants divided by the median visits and the median interest rate.
  • The map on the left shows where each product (display stand) is in the store.
QuadrantMeaningInterpretation

Visits ↓ · Interest rate ↑Few customers come, but those who do show high interestHidden favorites. Consider moving to a higher-traffic position
Visits ↑ · Interest rate ↓Many customers pass by but few become interestedConsider improving presentation, product information, and hands-on elements

Detailed zone interest analysis

Detailed zone interest analysis — visit and interest bars with an interest-rate line per product
Visiting and interested customers (bars) and interest rate (line) per product
  • Compares visiting and interested customers as bars with the interest rate as a line for each product.
  • When there are many products, use the arrow buttons at the top right to see the next products.

Examples

  • Find products with many visits but a sharply lower interest-rate line to set improvement priorities.
  • Compare visits and interest rate before and after a product swap.

Product interest table

Product interest table — rank, maker name, category, product name, visits, interest, total dwell time
Visits, interest, and total dwell time per product with the age-group makeup
  • Lists the rank, maker name, category, product name, visits, interest, and total dwell time per product.
  • The colored bars next to interest and total dwell time show the age-group makeup (0–9 through 60 and over).
  • The maker name and category come from the maker name and tag assigned to the display stand in Zone Config.
  • Click a product name to open that product’s detail screen.

Product detail

Product detail screen — hourly visiting customers, interested customers, dwell time, and gender and age makeup
Hourly visits, interest, and dwell time for the selected product with its gender and age makeup
  • Visiting customers / Interested customers: shows the hourly trend for all, male, and female customers, with the total, the male-to-female ratio, and the age makeup by gender.
  • Total dwell time: switch between average per person / total with the buttons; dwell time by gender and age group is shown as well.
  • Click ← List at the top left to return to the product interest table.

Examples

  • Identify the gender and age of customers interested in a product to verify they match its target customers.
  • Assign demo and consultation staff to the hours when interested customers concentrate.
  • Compare the age makeup of visiting and interested customers to find the segments that don’t convert to interest.

What a customer account sees

When a customer account is issued, only the products of the maker linked to the account are shown. All other products appear in the report with their identifying information hidden.

Product interest table in a customer account — maker name, category, and product name are blurred except for the linked maker's products
Only the products of the maker linked to the account (here, Apple) are shown; the maker name, category, and product name of other products are blurred
Interest comparison distribution in a customer account — only the linked maker's products are labeled
In the quadrant distribution too, only the products of the maker linked to the account are labeled
  • For all other products, the maker name, category, and product name are blurred, and they are shown as hidden in the charts.
  • The rank and the visit, interest, and total dwell time figures are still shown, so even without knowing what the other products are, you can compare where the linked maker’s products stand across the whole store.
  • The product detail screen can be opened only for products of the maker linked to the account.
  • The left menu shows only the Visitor Info and Product Interest reports, and the settings screen cannot be opened.
