How Can You Use ZIP Code Maps for Your Business?

If you're a sales or business professional, you most probably rely on ZIP codes for designating geographic market areas and sales, service, delivery or franchise territories. It is efficient to organize strategic plans and sales tactics around common geographic administrative districts like ZIP codes and counties. With user-friendly ZIP code mapping software from MapBusinessOnline, you can easily plot ZIP codes on your maps, helping you visualize and identify key business opportunities, define account responsibilities, and identify business challenges.

• Create sales, service, delivery or franchise territory maps by ZIP code. County, state or other district options are also available. We offer more than just Census ZCTA maps, unlike some of our competitors.

Build ZIP Code Based Territories

Be it sales, service, franchise or delivery territories, you can manage your territories on a map more efficiently than using spreadsheets or a CRM. Commercial-grade ZIP code boundaries align territories with USPS delivery areas. This is impossible with the Census-based ZCTAs used by other tools. MapBusinessOnline offers ZCTAs too, as well as point ZIP codes that have no associated area and represent mail delivery points for large facilities.

There are several easy ways to build ZIP code based territories. Import territory Excel files – or build territories right on a map. Or easily convert an area around a location into a radius, polygon, or drive time-based territory.

When it comes to balancing territories, using Census demographic data like population or income by ZIP code level is a very powerful tool. You can easily label ZIP codes of interest with any demographic variables, automatically calculate their totals for any group of ZIP codes, and make adjustments in the territories while observing how that translates into the total population, or household income, or any other demographic metric you are interested in.

Finally, apply color-coding, symbol coding, heat maps, labels, territory overlap highlight and more tools to make your maps more informative and power your analysis.

Map Demographic Data by ZIP Code

A ZIP code map is particularly useful when it’s accompanied by valuable demographic data. Our software solution gives you access to rich Census data such as population, household size, income ranges, ethnicity and so forth. It helps you identify your target market. Demographic mapping by ZIP code is a powerful tool that will give your business a leg-up over competitors without this insight.

A ZIP code heat map – a type of a color-coded map – is a terrific way to visualize the demographic data by ZIP code. It lets you assign color shades to particular ranges of population, income or other demographic value of interest, to distinguish the ZIP codes where the value is higher from those where the value is lower, “cold” to “hot” (hence the term “heat map”).

If you have a demographic map, you can also append MapBusinessOnline demographic data attributes to your search results. You can easily look up ZIP codes by city, county or state. Even better, you can export lists of ZIP codes along with Census data variables such as population, household income and much more.

Plot Customer and Prospect Locations on a ZIP Code Map to Visualize Your Sales or Business Operations

When was the last time you conducted a thorough analysis of your business locations? MapBusinessOnline ZIP code mapping software can significantly improve your location awareness. By plotting customer and prospect locations on a ZIP code map, you'll be able to visualize the customer, prospect, sales and resource locations around your business.

You can also color-code ZIP codes to display the areas containing the most competitors. Use this information to unlock the power of location intelligence to more effectively manage your sales or business operations.

Conduct a Basic or More In-Depth Market Analysis

Our ZIP code mapping software can be a valuable tool when conducting a market assessment. For instance, you can use it to create a map that visualizes the customer or prospect distribution within each ZIP code. You can also execute a more detailed analysis by adding key demographic data to the mix – like population, income, age groups. What's more, you can also conduct a competitor analysis by ZIP code to determine areas where your competitors may pose the greatest (or smallest) challenge. This, in turn, will let you replicate successful ZIP code markets in untapped areas, which helps build reasonable business expansion plans.

Target ZIP Codes Within a Radius

A ZIP code radius map is one of our most common applications. Sales organizations often use this feature to establish sales territories within a specific geographic region. Use our radius mapping tool to create circles at a specified mile radius from ZIP code center points. Then, instantly display or filter ZIP codes within a radius. And finally, export lists of ZIP codes from within the radius along with Census data such as population or household income.

Share Maps as Image Files, Interactive Maps or High-Resolution Printouts

Interactive maps with ZIP codes can be an invaluable asset in any collaborative decision-making environment. You can create maps that can easily be shared with colleagues and constituents as image files or interactive maps. Maps can be shared publicly or privately. This allows all key players within your business organization to have timely access to relevant mapping data to help them make the most informed, accurate decisions.

MapBusinessOnline offers multi-user account management capabilities, which enable annual subscribers to easily edit shared maps and imported data layers.

You can also create printable large format ZIP code maps that can be displayed on a wall for easy viewing.
