“We’ve now seen an overall increase of 55% in foot-traffic this year nationwide, which bodes well for our economy. With indoor mask mandates starting to lift, Zenreach expects these numbers will continue to increase. It would not surprise me if nationwide foot traffic reaches a more than 65% lift (since January 1st, 2021) within the next three months.” says Megan Wintersteen, VP of Marketing for Zenreach.
