• Signals: Break down and connect visitation to stores by Census Block Groups. Use human movement data in conjunction with other Census Block Groups-based segments to identify core customers.
• Purchase Intent: Gauge purchase intent based on both online and offline signals for any given brand in the grocery, quick service restaurant (QSR), and restaurant categories.
• Category Demand/Experimentation: Get a holistic understanding of consumer behavior by knowing category level demand and propensity to experiment with multiple brands for grocery, QSR, and restaurant categories.
• Brand Affinity: Understand which brands customers often visit and how the organization ranks against competitors. This dataset is available across multiple industries such as retail, QSR, and grocery chains.
