In today’s hyper-connected world, your company’s data is like gold—especially the stuff tucked away in CRMs, customer surveys, and sales reports. This goldmine gives you the inside scoop on what your customers are up to and how your business is performing. But let’s be real, relying solely on this data is like trying to navigate a bustling city with an outdated map. It only tells part of the story, leaving you guessing about what your competitors are up to and missing out on broader market trends.

What is Human Movement Data?

Human Movement Data starts with privacy-safe and anonymised geo-location data on visitor footfall. Continuous location data is gathered from apps on smartphones, which users have opted into using location services. Millions of data points are ingested every second worldwide from participating Bid Stream Ad Exchanges and Partner SDKs, allowing the collection of location data in the process of displaying ads in over 250,000 apps.

The data is cleansed for only the highest quality observations and combined with other high-quality data sets, including Census data and geospatial data, to deliver location insights that power business growth.

It’s Global

Human Movement Data is available globally as mobile phones have been widely adopted. The data includes more than 1.6 billion users in 44 countries. Over 20 trillion data points have been gathered worldwide over the past seven years and coverage of Australia includes 16 million mobile device users.

It’s Strategic

Human Movement Data can be applied to uncover insights that help inform your strategy and decisions. Imagine your catchment area and that of your competitor. Areas of overlap show opportunity for growth into where your competitor may be dominating.

It’s Insightful

Human Movement Data offers real-life behavioral insights, revealing where people actually come from, unlike drive time analysis that assumes potential reach based on distance, potentially missing key patterns and opportunities.

This is like comparing your followers’ list with your rival’s on Instagram to see who’s got the cooler crowd. We use Census ABS data at SA1 level to break down your visitor demographics by age, weekly income, education, etc., and see how your fan base stacks up against your competitors’. It’s the ultimate way to understand if you’re hitting the mark or if you’re missing out on a particular group.

We analyse mobile devices observed data to help you identify your prime time and see how it stacks up against the competition. Knowing this lets you plan your best moves at the right times.

Dwell time gives you an idea of whether your site or your competitor’s is more engaging to be at, based on how much time people spend there.

Imagine being able to see where the most foot traffic occurs at your venue vs. your rival’s. Identifying these hot spots helps you understand what attractions pull in the crowd and where you might need to step up your game.

This is like finding out where your rival runs their Facebook adverts and deciding to either out-advertise them or find new suburbs to geofence your adverts. By pinpointing where you and your competitors both have a presence, you can strategize on whether to increase your efforts there or conquer new territories.

Strategies that power growth

We share five strategies you should implement to leverage the power of Human Movement Data.

01

Enhance personalised experiences

Utilise dwell time data to understand which areas or activities within your business engage visitors most. Tailor your offerings by enhancing these areas and introducing personalised experiences or promotions targeted when engagement is highest. This could involve introducing new activities based on member preferences.

02

Optimise facility usage

Analyse visitation hotspot data to identify underused areas or times and develop strategies to increase usage. Some methods may include offering discounts, running special classes or events during off-peak hours, or repurposing spaces that consistently show low engagement for more popular activities.

03

Targeted marketing campaigns

Leverage visitation hotspot data to create targeted marketing campaigns. By understanding the most popular days and times for specific areas or activities, you can craft communications and offers that match the demographic profiles of visitors to drive higher attendance. For instance, if certain activities or facilities are popular on weekends, promote these more heavily in the days leading up to the weekend.

04

Build strong community connections

By knowing when and where visitors and members spend most of their time within the facility, you can plan events or community-building activities more likely to attract high participation. For example, suppose data shows a significant gathering in certain areas during mid-week mornings. In that case, you might organise social events or special interest clubs to meet during these times, fostering more robust community engagement.

05

Dynamic Pricing

Implement dynamic pricing models based on the popularity of certain areas or times. For instance, offer discounted rates during off-peak hours to encourage more uniform usage of the facility throughout the day, helping to manage capacity and enhance member satisfaction.
