Predicting shoppers' interest from social interactions using sociometric sensors

Abstract: Marketing research has longed for better ways to measure consumer behavior. In this paper, we explore using sociometric data to study social behaviors of group shoppers. We hypothesize that the interaction patterns among shoppers will convey their interest level, predicting probability of purchase. To verify our hypotheses, we observed co-habiting couples shopping for furniture. We have verified that there are sensible differences in customer behavior depending on their interest level. When couples are interes… Show more

“…Researchers can also perform indoor user localization by measuring received signal strength from fixed based stations, detecting proximal travel patterns. Figure 6 shows sample data from a couple shopping for furniture (Kim, Brdiczka, Chu, & Begole, 2009). A couple was asked to wear the sociometric badges during their time of strolling through a furniture store and browsing multiple items.…”

“…For example, we know that under some circumstances (disasters and citizen participation, for example), people act as social sensors of the world around them by sharing information; thus leveraging the scale of the online population. This leveraging then serves as a potential solution for general scalability issues associated with analytics of online behaviour (Bell, McDiarmid, & Irvine, ; Christakis & Fowler, ; Kim, Chu, Brdiczka, & Begole, ; Lazer et al, ). Examples from social media demonstrate how useful information can be culled from a vast ocean of data.…”

“…What is more, it should be noted that there are sensible differences in customer behavior depending on their interest level. When customers are interested in an item, they observe the item for a longer duration of time and have a more balanced speaking style (Kim et al 2009). It is also important to create for the contemporary customer a quick service with high quality resources and products without wasting time on extra activities (Stefanini et al 2018).…”
