The objectiveof this study is to show how big data can be effectively leveraged for directand clear commercial purposes in textile stores. The development of research isbased on the analysis of the application of systematic observation of consumerbehavior in three main streets in Spain known for textile retail stores and interpretingtheir differences. The results show that data collected through variouspoint-of-sale devices have a significant influence on retail revenue. The differencesbetween commercial areas and the relative attractiveness of the textile tradein different cities are also borne out by the results. The main conclusions point tothe need to improve the profitability of textile fashion stores on the back of promotionaltactics that focus on the number of estimated customers and the possibilitiesof selling to them. All of the aforesaid have a significant influence on howadvertising planning is carried out for retail stores.
