The OPT Group Launches “toSTORE analysis. Freemium,” a Marketing Service for Storefront Businesses — Enables Location Data-Based Analysis, Not Only of Proprietary Stores, but Also of Markets and Competitors. Applications for the Free Edition

The Omnichannel Innovation Center (*1) jointly established by OPT, Inc. (Head Office: Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo; President & CEO: Daisuke Kanazawa; hereinafter “OPT”) and ConnectOM, Inc. (Head Office: Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo; President: Shosuke Kumeda; hereinafter “ConnectOM”), has launched “toSTORE analysis Freemium” (provided free), a marketing service for storefront businesses. 

With increasing diversification in consumer behavior, it has become commonplace for storefront businesses to also interact with customers online, using a blend of online and offline marketing methods. However, many businesses encounter issues utilizing online data, such as a lack of information useful for analyzing markets and competitors within the target sales area, or insufficient personnel and resources to engage in analysis. 

With toSTORE analysis., businesses can utilize authorized location information to provide data necessary to maximize visitors and purchasing rates at their own stores. Businesses can visualize the status, not only of proprietary stores, but also of competitors and the market in general, analyzing their potential/existing customers and providing them with valuable hints on how to turn the situation to their advantage. This information can also be used to improve the on-street distribution of leaflets to attract customers and the posting of digital advertisements. The speed of storefront decision-making is also enhanced, through data sharing between head offices and individual stores.
