Geographic Information Systems (GIS) play a crucial role in marketing, offering tangible benefits for businesses. The University of Southern California Spatial Sciences Institute discusses how GIS contributes to marketing success:
“This system was awesome. I used to use it at a print and mail shop I worked at. We would upload mail lists and select data from the map to target areas for advertising. We also integrated it with custom inhouse software. It was really easy to use as well. If you can use Excel or Word, then you can use this. Just awesome!”

GIS enhances marketing precision by incorporating spatial data, enabling businesses to engage with customers effectively and strategically. As organizations increasingly adopt spatial thinking, GIS professionals and spatial analytics will continue to shape customer interactions and create competitive advantages.
Accurate and actionable insights from spatial data are essential for successful marketing campaigns, and GIS plays a crucial role in achieving this.
Sales mapping software is an application that helps businesses visualize their sales operations. It can provide valuable insights into customer behavior, market trends, and sales performance. It helps sales teams to identify opportunities for growth and optimize their sales efforts. Sales mapping software can also be used to create sales territories, assign sales reps to areas, optimize routes for sales reps, and track sales performance over time.
You create a sales map by plotting data points related to past, present, or predicted sales performance on a geographic map. This allows you to visualize and analyze sales patterns in a market, and identify areas that need more attention. Gathering data points can include company purchase and revenue data, market research, competitor information, target demographics, and customer surveys. Use colors and thematics to represent different data points, and consider adding labels to the map to give more information. Once the data is plotted, you can analyze the results to identify potential trends, opportunities, or issues.
