Know Your Customer
Customer profiling provides a foundation for marketing & selling success
 

Solving almost any sales and marketing challenge starts with knowing your customers. Mapping Analytics helps you find out who your best customers are and apply geographic analysis techniques to discover where to find more of them.
 
customer profilingCustomer profiling creates descriptive segments or groups of your customers. A customer segment is not as simple as applying a demographic label, such as "women age 45-54" or "businesses with revenue >$500 million."

Those descriptions alone won't tell you enough about your customer. For example, not all women age 45-54 have the same tendency to purchase your products.

Mapping Analytics takes a more comprehensive and disciplined approach to customer profiling. We use your own customer data, lifestyle cluster data, and analytical techniques.
 
You gain a more accurate description of your customer you can use to identify areas where you can find more of your best customers.
