Geoblink mark launch of new feature by taking the temperature of football fever in London

Location intelligence solution startup, Geoblink, has announced the release of its latest product feature that segments the quantity of footfall traffic by time of day. The company launches this new footfall feature with an analysis of target audiences ahead of the forthcoming FIFA World Cup tournament across London (North of the River Thames – 77 km²).

Deep-diving into the locations of three popular sports bars in area, the data tells a compelling story as to when and where is the right time to reach England fans before the game.

“This new footfall capability has been launched at a highly strategic moment for retailers. Competition for footfall between sports bars has never been fiercer and the FIFA World Cup event is a massive draw for not only die-hard football fans, but also a wider sports interest audience,” says Geoblink UK Country Manager, Miguel Fernandez.

“This is why it’s absolutely critical that businesses use granular data to target their audiences accurately in order to maximise interest, prioritise where to invest in marketing spend and gain competitive advantage. With reference to the FIFA World Cup event specifically, you can see from the snapshot of data we’ve collected how gaining a better understanding of your customers behaviour and local distribution can help to launch targeted geomarketing campaigns successfully — by enriching your knowledge with data from that environment,” continued Miguel.

“Also, apart from the sports bars and neighbourhoods from the study, you can see how other venues showing the games would do well to carry out marketing campaigns to reach a wider, but targeted audience in specific areas to attract more customers and boost sales – invaluable insight!”
