DATALINK helps place your customers on a map – visualize relationships between neighboring area, consumer types and consumer spending.
When a business analyzes the demographic structures of its current customers in more detail, it gains a clear understanding of who their customers actually are. Once this knowledge is acquired, they can develop strategies about how to reach each target market and optimize their sales and marketing goals. By identifying groups of customers who have characteristics like purchasing power, number of household or demographics in common, the untapped potentials can be localized and visualized by placing them on a map.
So how does it work?
Simply import your address database and select the attributes needed from a wide selection of globally consistent and comparable data sets. Our data sets include population, gender, number of households, age bands, education, marital status, consumer styles, purchasing power, consumers spending and retail spending on a variety of different geographical levels.
Each address is geocoded, to find its exact geographical location. Once the location is known, the selected data from the chosen associated geographical area is appended to the address. For example, the customer address is in an area with low population number, high percentage of people over 45 years of age, little to no children, with an above average purchasing power. With this information, the marketing or communication directed at this customer can be optimized.
