Abstract
The spread of COVID-19 has led to a slump in consumer market sales in real stores such as department stores and shopping centers. Under this situation, marketing measures to take advantage of the strengths of actual stores are strongly required. In this study, we conduct an experiment on consumer behavior in a department store and collect flow line data. Specifically, we attempted to understand consumer behavior by conducting social network analysis using flow line data acquired with an eye tracking device. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the changes in consumer behavior in real stores in response to changes in the store structure, and to propose marketing measures for real stores that are in line with consumer behavior.
