Store mannequins are watching you…


Isn’t marketing all about identificatin and satisfaction of customers needs and wants?  Well, Italian mannequin maker Almax, has discovered a smart way to automatically identify customer demographics!  Almax’s €4.000 EyeSee mannequins, already placed at American and a few European stores, are watching customers with demographic profiling software and transferring data relating to age, gender and race while keeping the data anonymous.  This has enabled retailers to make the necessary adjustments on their store windows, displays and stock to help increase sales and customer satisfaction.  One store adjusted its window displays after its mannequins retreived information on men spending more money than women during a two-day sale.  Moreover, another store placed a Chinese speaking sales assistant at a certain entrance of its store after mannequins granted information that more Asian customers were entering through the specific store door.  Almax is even considering taking its mannequins one step further by adding ears to them…

So, would you use EyeSee mannequins to help you increase your customer satisfaction?
