German term

Marktfrequenz

German to English Marketing Marketing / Market Research
Die Marktfrequenz und auch alle anderen Kennzahlen der Aktion wurden durch das Wetter beeinträchtigt

What they mean is the number of customers in the store that day. What would be the standard term for this in English?

Thanks.

customer traffic

putting this into Linguee yields Kundenfrequenz as well as Kundenverkehr

Another possibility is "retail traffic" -- for instance, this site http://www.synovate.com/ce/whatwedo/retailperformance/weathe... in which the term "footfall" is also used

footfall

... might work here nicely if were're talking about the general public, passing custom, walk-ins etc.

"Footfall was down nearly 7% this weekend on the same weekend last year, with the wintry weather being blamed."

What a pleasant surprise at the end of a decidedly average day. Welcome home.
neutral Eleanore Strauss : never heard of this in US usage - could this be a Briticism?

You may have a point. I've found the odd US hit, but it doesn't appear to be common in the States. Having said that, a lot of these terms are associated with pedestrianised shopping areas - and the Yanks tend to drive everywhere ...
