I wanted foot traffic data without buying hardware
A lot of small businesses could benefit from knowing how many people actually walk through the door, but buying and installing a dedicated people-counting system doesn’t always make sense.
That’s why I’ve been building PeopleCounter.app.
You can use a phone, tablet, computer, or webcam to start tracking visitors and keep the data organized in one dashboard.
What I think gets overlooked is that even basic traffic data can answer some useful questions:
• Are Saturdays actually busier than Fridays?
• What hours are we getting the most visitors?
• Did that promotion bring in more people?
• Are we getting busier without seeing the same increase in sales?
I’m trying to make this accessible for smaller retailers, churches, events, museums, and other organizations that just want a simple place to start.
There’s a free version at PeopleCounter.app.
Would be interested to hear what other metrics you’d want alongside the visitor count.
