How airport retailers can track duty-free shoppers in a volatile market

REQUEST A DEMO

Duty free facing new challenges

To inform their planning and decision-making processes, airport-based businesses need to know roughly how many duty-free shoppers they can expect in their store at a given time.

However, with the Covid-19 pandemic having disrupted usual patterns and trends, footfall and sales are nearly impossible to predict.

In the current situation, duty-free operators require the agility to respond to changing market conditions by shifting their focus to new markets and adjusting their in-store offering accordingly.

The solution

Tracking duty-free shoppers in a volatile market

ForwardKeys provides reliable, real-time data on the global flow of passengers by nationality, origin airport, destination, and more, allowing duty-free operators to ascertain which kinds of travellers will be passing through their stores at a given time – and in what numbers.

As a result, airport-based business can identify potential duty-free shoppers, optimise staffing and product/sample selection accordingly, and determine where to open new stores depending on who is travelling, when, and where from.
