The COVID-19 pandemic is changing life as we know it for businesses and individuals, but location data can help you understand the impact of coronavirus on your business and industry.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread around the globe, more and more businesses are suffering its impact. Employees are being furloughed or laid off, and small businesses are closing their doors temporarily or sometimes for good.
During this uncertain time, companies must be able to track the impact COVID-19 is having on their business and industry in order to make the difficult strategic decisions that lie ahead and identify opportunities to come out stronger. It’s more important than ever to stay connected to consumers and help them meet their needs.
Here’s how location data can give you important strategic insight into the effects of the virus, and how BDEX’s tools can help you unlock the power of human connectivity during this isolating time.
Gathering and interpreting location data
Digging into location data can help your company better understand what’s happening during the pandemic. By gathering this data on how people’s movements and locations are shifting, you’ll gain key insights for your planning and modeling efforts moving forward. This data can even help you connect with in-market consumers across devices and channels in your local area.
Location data tells you how many consumers are still visiting chains across the country, and who it is that’s still visiting. By indexing the unique encrypted IDs for each customer, the city and state of the store, and any other desired data, such as birth year, BDEX can help you complete the picture of who they are and how you can serve them.
Location data also helps you stay competitive. You can track consumer behavior and better understand which types of customers shop where. This helps you cater marketing to the right people and connect with more interested customers.
Real-time human connectivity is a must
Our marketplaces are changing daily as more people stay home across the country and more businesses feel the impact. It’s never been more important to have real-time human connectivity data to inform your next moves.
Having access to real-time data about your custom audience means you can update practices as the virus continues to affect your business. Real-time information makes it possible to target consumers who are ready to buy at the exact right moment.
