Creating Killer Presentations with MapBusinessOnline
Business mapping software such as MapBusinessOnline has a range of potential applications. Organizations that know how to use it properly will gain a critical advantage in a tough economic environment.
What most people don't realize, however, is that mapping software is both an analytical and a marketing tool. With it, you can create compelling and accurate visual aids that help you leverage information more effectively — both for yourself and for your stakeholders. Here's a look at some of the ways you can create great presentations with MapBusinessOnline.
Creating a Radius Map
A radius map pinpoints a specific location and draws a circle around it. It is one of the most immediate and impactful visual aids — it can display critical data within a specific radius of that location. With a radius map, you can demonstrate:
- Where your nearest suppliers and vendors are, and how drivers can get there more efficiently
- Where your customers are relevant to your franchise locations
- Which nearby territories are underserved by your competitors
- Where to deploy mobile salespeople for maximum effectiveness
- What ZIP codes surround my location and their demographic make up
A radius map is only one type of visualization available in MapBusinessOnline. The program also offers the options of creating heat maps, custom territories, drive times, and other graphics that express facts in a way that raw data can’t.
Telling a Data-Driven Story
Ultimately, creating a strong presentation is about translating numbers and statistics into a format that is impactful and easy to understand. MapBusinessOnline takes your raw business intelligence — the data you accumulate in Excel, QuickBooks, Salesforce and other enterprise programs — and makes visual sense of it.
Overlaying information about your sales and marketing initiatives with demographic data tells you more about your customers and helps target future efforts on specific areas of interest. Business intelligence mapping software can also help you run test scenarios and compare sites for future expansion based on a variety of customizable factors like geographic segmentation, data filtering by geographic area or demographic category.

Businesses that thrive on outside sales can use it to create territory maps and deploy staff based on clearly define areas of accountability.
