2. "Mastering growth"
for more than 15 years now
The science of geomarketing can point you
towards optimal risk-free geographic growth,
for developing your business.
Geomarketing has existed as a science for barely 20 years. Few are the
companies that fully and effectively exploit its vast potential, even today,
often due to lack of knowledge and expertise.
Rooted in its extensive experience of more than 15 years in the field,
Indicia knows how to adapt the latest technology and database analysis,
statistical modeling and spatial analysis methodologies to pinpoint and
determine opportunities for your business’ expansion or the optimization of
your existing network of sales outlets.
Whether you’re a manufacturing company, distributor, retailer or service
provider, it’s almost certain that your performance varies all across your
sales territory. Indicia will reveal “why” that is so. Indicia specializes in
identifying which factors influence and contribute to your over performing
points of sale, as well as those that lead to the poor performance of certain
others. Indicia is conversant with the market rules that must be complied
with to ensure the optimal development of your network. Indicia can
predict if your next point of sale will live up to your expectations.
Before making your next geographically-
oriented decision, see how Indicia can help
you “Master your growth”.

4. Add the micro-marketing dimension
to your strategic reflection...
More sales, bigger market share
Where will your business growth be coming from over the next few years? The strategic opening of a number of
points of sale; the relocation of underperforming units; the rationalization of the whole network or the closing of unpro-
ductive sites? Indicia will meticulously measure the size of the local market in each city, district or street corner across
North America. Such a process will enable you to determine your local market share and unequivocally gauge the
performance of each individual site. Specific
actions will emerge for each site in operation:
closing, relocation, renovation, diversification of
the offer, inventory adjustment, targeted direct
marketing.
Where are your best opportunities for growth
located? What sectors are significantly lagging
behind in their development in terms of the potential
market and more important still, with regard to
your own geographic performance thresholds, as
defined by Indicia? Indicia can elaborate a path
gearing you toward an optimal coverage of the
North American market.
Indicia masters the science of market growth.
