Data on who is travelling where and when
ForwardKeys’ travel analytics provide retailers with the tools they need to understand which global shopping audiences will be travelling to a destination. This makes it easier for retailers to attract the right brand mix and foresee future revenue streams. It also facilitates tactical decisions, helping retailers to define their marketing catchment area, plan in-store promotions based on the seasonality of international visitors and ensure staff in store speak the right languages.
