Why join the Sector Benchmark?
Tracking daily sales data across the sector provides insight to understand and react to this rapidly changing landscape.
There is no charge for this service, we are committed to supporting the sector and believe insights driven by data will make a compelling case for support at all levels of government.
What does it involve?
An automated data feed will be set up between your box office and our secure servers. Once this is established, we will monitor it to ensure your data flows every day.
What about data privacy?
Our systems and processes are fully GDPR compliant. Legally, we will be acting as your data processor while you remain as Data Controller. We do not use your customer data for anything other than the benchmark, unless you ask us to.
Will my sales figures be revealed?
Your sales figures and customer data will not be identifiable. For the purposes of the benchmark, all data is anonymised and aggregated.
How much will it cost?
Joining the Sector Benchmark is completely free.
How will it benefit me?
As well as adding power to the overall sector statistics, the insights generated by your data will be accessible to you through an online dashboard. You will be able to drill down to better understand the impact COVID-19 has had on your organisation, giving you evidence to lobby locally and regionally for support.
