Postal Code Targeting

Postal code targeting is a powerful tool in the field of geomarketing, providing businesses with precise control over their marketing strategies. By focusing on specific postal code areas, companies can tailor their marketing efforts to target precise demographics, enhance customer engagement, and optimize sales. This method allows businesses to refine their approach, ensuring that marketing campaigns reach the right audience in the right locations, thereby increasing efficiency and ROI. Embracing postal code targeting not only streamlines marketing initiatives but also paves the way for strategic expansion and customer loyalty, making it a cornerstone of successful geomarketing strategies.

With the Spotzi Geomarketing Platform, postcodes become more than just a way to target a location. Marketers can target areas based on demographics, consumer behavior, and psychographic characteristics. This article explains how to export postcode lists based on consumer data, customer data concentration, radius, and even visitor profiles.

Want to target postcodes based on visits to your location(s)? This is also possible with the Spotzi Geomarketing Platform.

This not only provides insight into your location's catchment area but also helps identify areas where your brand awareness needs a boost.

Before you get started with a Visitor Profiling Dashboard
If you want to create a visitor profile for your locations, we first need to know which locations you want to analyze. It's crucial that you provide the outlines of your locations, not just specific points. If you don't have this information available, we can assist you. For more details, please contact our support team.

Request a Visitor Profile

1. Once your locations are loaded and ready to use, you can easily start profiling your visitors. You can request a Visitor Profile by going to MY DASHBOARDS and clicking +REQUEST VISITOR PROFILE.
