Here are seven key reasons why you need to make location intelligence the basis for your strategic decision-making processes:

Add depth to your customer personas by plotting the places where they live, work and travel on a map.

Use this insight to accurately position billboards and sales teams, conduct effective door drops and dispatch marketing emails at the most effective or relevant times.
