What do I use geomarketing for?

Location Analysis and Expansion


Location Analysis

With the right geomarketing software you can assess the potential of a location and its environment based on your individual location factors. The results help you to quickly assess real estate offers and the quality of their location.

Analyze and Compare Branch Locations

Geomarketing uses scoring models to allow you to compare locations objectively. The relevant location factors are standardized and a score is created for each location. This allows you to evaluate the profitability and future viability of the branch locations.

Optimize and Restructure Branch Locations

Geomarketing analyses help companies to achieve the best possible branch network with optimal customer-store allocation. The goal is to plan a nationwide network that enables customers to shop without having to travel long distances. Location-allocation models help achieve this.

Create Revenue Forecasts

Gravity analysis makes location-specific sales forecasts possible based on individual location and attractiveness factors. In this way, geomarketing helps you with your location analysis.

Analyze Markets and Customers


Analyze Market Potential

Geomarketing analysis with industry-specific market potential data allows you to identify strengths and weaknesses of branch locations and sales territories at a glance.

Identify Target Groups

Geomarketing identifies areas where you can find your relevant target groups. GIS software visualizes and evaluates the areas on a map.

Visualize Customers and Revenues

You will receive answers to the following questions:

  • How should I distribute my customers and sales?
  • What is my regional market share?

Regional Sales Reporting

Geomarketing enables regional sales reporting based on KPIs. Customer, sales and territory data are combined in your geomarketing software and visualized on maps.

Reach Target Groups Without Scatter Losses

Geomarketing helps to spatially identify your target audience based on their characteristics. Then you can choose the media that will offer you advertising with low scatter losses at an optimal cost in the right areas.

Optimize Regional Marketing

Conduct your regional marketing only in the actual catchment area of your branch or retail locations. Geomarketing tells you exactly where it is.

FAQ

  • How do map solutions help me in sales and marketing?

    The visualization of company data on maps offers decisive benefits. Firstly, spatial relationships become visible that would remain hidden without geomarketing. Secondly, map-based analyses help you make strategic decisions quickly and confidently. People are visually oriented and best understand image-based information. A map is much more intuitive and easier to understand than long complex tables. Complex relationships such as accessibility of high-potential customers in sales areas can be displayed very clearly on a map. Consistent map-based analysis and a corresponding potential oriented sales management based on the results help to apply company resources more efficiently.

  • How are the strengths and weaknesses of locations and areas made visible at a glance?

    Geomarketing allows you to directly compare your company’s key figures with the corresponding B2B or B2C potential. Geomarketing is perfect for regional target-performance comparisons, target planning and market or SWOT analyses. Reachability analyses, microgeographical scoring, gravity models for footfall probabilities and location-allocation models for network optimization all help you to conclusively analyze locations and regions with regard to their strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for growth. In addition, geocoding allows you to locate exact addresses for existing and potential customers and then display the numbers spatially. By comparing your own business figures with market potentials, you can identify regional market shares, white spots and potential growth regions. Up-to-date regional key figures help you to take targeted action for marketing, sales and expansion directly at the location.

  • Which sociodemographic characteristics distinguish my target group and where can I find them?

    If the sociodemographic profile of your B2C target group is not sufficiently known, a customer structure analysis with geostatistical methods can help you determine typical characteristics and their spatial distribution. Furthermore, your customer base is enhanced with microgeographical information about the residential and business environment. Recurring attributes describe the common characteristics of your target group and at the same time provide information about relevant regional market data and address data for targeted potential analyses.

  • Why do I need Geomarketing Insights?

    The use of targeted geomarketing analyses enables you to gain a better understanding of your spatial data. You can use the insights as a basis for decision-making, for example to strengthen your position in the market, to expand or to act more efficiently.
