Detailed user-base application analysis shows that over 70% of customers use the web-based mapping tool for customer visualization purposes.

Customer Visualizations and Market Potential

Customer visualizations in a business mapping tool are typically derived from imported address-based or latitude/longitude-based locations. These customer location spreadsheets are imported onto a business map and represented by points or symbols. Customer visualizations describe where business activity is occurring and may include textual labels and are often set against a backdrop of demographic data depicted as color-shaded ZIP code or county map layers.

Customer visualizations provide business map users with new perspectives on their current business activity, suggesting more efficient operations; future sales potential by area; and exposing business intelligence for strategic planning.

Map Business Online business listings are now available as an additional layer for marketing and sales analysis. Business listings enhance market analysis by suggesting new business targets by industry segment and geography. Based on successful sales and marketing strategies in existing coverage areas, business listings can point to potential markets outside of established sales theaters.
