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.
Who Can Use MapBusinessOnline?
Organizations in a range of industries and sectors use MapBusinessOnline. Businesses that thrive on outside sales can use it to create territory maps and deploy staff based on clearly define areas of accountability. Franchises also can use it as a tool to guide future expansion efforts. Any enterprise trying to make a case for its viability with investors can use radius mapping or heat mapping to demonstrate the merits of its strategic plan.
Government agencies, nonprofits, insurers, financial service providers and more also use MapBusinessOnline.

"We recently switched to Map Business Online at our company. Not only is MBO returning us better results than our old software, but it came with a 3500% decrease in yearly licensing fees! We couldn't be happier with the switch. Excellent ease of use. I was able to just open up the program and go. It's very user friendly. I did get stuck with one feature, and reached out to customer service for help. I didn't really expect to get anything in return, but they emailed me back within the hour, and I was only a trial member! Very pleased."
