Mobile Traffic & Analytics

Center Specific Mobile Traffic Data is provided through DMM’s strategic partnership with BI Spatial & Near™, the World’s largest source of mobile data connecting the physical and the digital worlds of more than 1.6 Billion people in 44 Countries.

Generally Mobile data collections tends to represent about 5% of the true traffic at any location due to many different technical, geographic and government regulatory factors.  While not absolute, the values do provide a directional perspective of activity by which groups of people profiles can be identified.

Mobile device data is used as the mechanism for identifying the grouping of the unique residential dwelling places of a device which generates a unique 70% DMM Trade Area for each shopping center.

One can view the mobile metrics presented as being akin to an intercept study, not as a traditional traffic study or an indicator of all traffic at any location for a given period of time.

The value of the mobile metrics presented by DMM comes from focusing your understanding and engagement activities to the top target audiences that drive the activity over a period of time.

Attributes include:

• DMM Retail Trade Area Maps – A visual illustration of the residential geographic area where approximately 70% of the shoppers coming to the property originated based upon an analysis of the Near™ mobile traffic data. This provides a realistic understanding of the actual visitors to the center as opposed to assumptions made when using demographics gathered solely on radius rings and proximity to the property.
• Rolling 12 Month Observations – The rolling count of unique visitor traffic to the property in the past 12 months.
• Current Quarter Observations – The number of unique visits to the property in the last full calendar quarter.
• % Change vs Previous Quarter – Comparison of visitor traffic between the current quarter and the previous one. (Example: Qtr 2 (April – June) vs Q1 (January – March)
• Tourism Observations % by Visit – Tourist Traffic is defined by DMM as unique observations originating from a residential location greater than 50 and 100 miles from any center.
• Tourism Observations % by Devices – The % of Total devices detected in a shopping center geofence that originated from a residential location greater than 50 and 100 miles away from the shopping center.
• Nearest Competing Center -Closest center of any classification
• Nearest Comparable Center – Closest center with the same classification

Cross-Shopping Analysis

• Top 5 Cross‐Shopped Centers – The Five (5 )Shopping Centers with the greatest number of visitors that also shopped at the “Subject” center
• Unique Visitor Traffic Metrics :  % of Same Visitors – % of visitor traffic at  Subject center that also visited the Cross-shopped center during the reported Quarter, not necessarily the same shopping trip
• Unique Visitor Traffic Metrics :  % Preference of Same Visitors – Depicts the % of Same Visitors that actually visit the Subject center over the Cross-shopped center during the reported Quarter

Why is this Valuable?

Human movement data provides accurate insight into the observations of unique devices entering into a geofences location. The data allows for analysis of patterns of activity and the relative change in human movement activities in space and across time. This assists in determining volume of visitors, areas of greater activity and distances traveled to visit the property. More comprehensive analysis via custom licensing could illustrate cross-shopping, void analysis and gain a micro understanding of hour-of-day, day-of-week, weekend/weekday changes in target geographies broken down by Census Block Groups (US).

For tourist-focused shopping destinations, the tourism metrics provide insight into how many people outside the retail trade area visited the property.
