Earnest Analytics Introduces Enhanced In-Store Spending Data by ZIP Code on Dash Platform

Enhancing Retail Insights: Earnest Analytics' New ZIP Code Level Spending Data

In a significant development for businesses and investors, Earnest Analytics has announced the launch of its innovative ZIP Code level spending data on its online platform, Dash. This new feature promises to revolutionize how companies analyze in-store spending patterns and consumer behavior, providing critical insights into hyper-local markets.

The capability to drill down into spending data by ZIP Code allows clients to assess individual market dynamics, understand the impact of new store openings, and gauge consumer health on a community level. By leveraging Vela transaction data, this tool enhances the depth and accuracy of consumer spending analysis, making it an invaluable resource for businesses aiming to thrive in competitive retail environments.

According to Nans Fichet, a data scientist at Earnest Analytics, “The granularity provided at the ZIP Code level adds substantial value to the Vela dataset. It acts as an excellent proxy for traditional store-level data, enabling a range of analytical possibilities, including store opening tracking and same-store sales evaluations.” This insights-driven approach allows clients not only to monitor spending trends but also to benchmark store performance against various metrics across regions.

The newly launched spending data can seamlessly integrate into Dash’s existing tools. Clients can utilize the Dash Trends feature to evaluate performance on a ZIP Code basis or select multiple ZIP Codes to form customized trade areas tailored to their business needs. This flexibility ensures that companies can make informed decisions based on localized insights.

Moreover, the reduced data complexity empowers businesses, from retail chain owners to market researchers, to grasp spending behaviors with ease, facilitating not just reactive strategies but proactive ones as well. For example, businesses can identify areas for potential expansion, optimize inventory based on localized shopping habits, and create marketing strategies that resonate with community preferences.

The ZIP Code level spending information is accessible to Vela clients via the Trends tab on Dash, as well as drawing data from sources like BigQuery, Snowflake, and S3. This array of options illustrates Earnest Analytics' commitment to providing the most accessible, actionable data in today’s rapidly evolving marketplace.
