Shop visitor stats?

[Dorsai]

This suggestion/idea is really directed at owners of shops (or booths).
However, as I can't stop anyone replying who does not own a shop, please think how this might help the situation from the view point of a buyer (IE you, a non shop owner.)

Real life shops (on line, or in the high street) spend lots of time, money, and effort into monitoring the behaviour of people who enter their shops.
By "people" I mean the persons who come into the shop.
Some will spend, and some will not. Some will spend lots, and some little.
The shop owners wish to see how the people walk about the shop, and what they purchase, and what they don't.
They then use this information to plan where in the shop to put the products they sell, and what products to sell, and which to not sell.

As an example, most shops do not put Milk right by the door, they put it as far from the door as they can.
Why?
Simple.
Many people may go out just to buy a pint of milk.
These people want a cup of tea, coffee, or something to have with their breakfast cereal the following morning.
If the milk was right by the door, these people would enter the shop, get a pint of milk, pay, and leave.
So the shop puts the milk right at the back, forcing the person to walk past all the other stuff.
End result is that a person who went out to get some milk goes home with milk, a pack of yoghurts, some toilet roll, shaving foam, and a host of other items they did not plan to get.
Score one to the shop for a good layout!

So, I own a shop/booth in EU.

I don't want/need all the detailed info tesco might collect on shopping habbits. I am not running a multi-billion pound business.

But I would like to get the following info for items in my booth.

1. How many people actually looked at an item for sale by putting their cursor over the item to see what it is.
2. How many people clicked on "item info" to see how much it costs.
3. How many people entered my shop in the last 24 hours.
This would be useful in the following way.

A. No one has come into the shop.

B. If 2000 people have entered my shop in the last 24 hours, and not one has actually looked to see what the items on sale are, (cursor over item, name displayed) I have a problem. Nothing on sale is remotely interesting.

C. If I have an item for sale, and 2000 people have looked to see it's "1k Molisk teeth" but not one person wants to know the price, I might suspect that no one wants Molisk teeth, regardless as to price.

D. If 2000 people looked to see the price of the teeth, and they have not sold, I might consider adjusting the price.

As it is I don't know if my lack of sales are due to lack of potential customers (A), lack of interest in my stock as a whole (B), lack of interest in a certain item on sale (C) or the price (D).

I would like to know haw many people stop at my booth, and if they look at what's for sale, and if they check the price.

Then a shop keeper would know no one is remotely interested in the "Boring painting" on sale, and could replace it with something better.

I would get the info when I click on "item info" as the shop owner.
"2000 visitors, no views, no price check"
"2000 visitors, 1500 views, 1 price check"
Etc.
