What Is In-Store Engagement?

In-store engagement is the measurable interaction between a shopper and a product, display, campaign or digital touchpoint inside a physical store.

The store has always influenced behaviour, but much of that influence has been hard to measure. A shopper may compare two products, ask a staff member, look at packaging or walk away unconvinced. Digital touchpoints make some of those consideration moments visible.

Examples include scanning a product QR code, using a touchscreen, viewing a product story, completing a finder, watching a short demonstration or clicking through to a retailer PDP. Each action shows a different level of intent.

For MyPlayer, in-store engagement is the bridge between merchandising and media. It helps brands understand what shoppers explored, and helps retailers show that their physical estate can deliver measurable digital value.

In-store engagement should not be treated as a single metric. Different actions show different levels of intent and should be reported accordingly.
