WHEN YOU NEED TO KNOW, THERE'S TARGETPRO®

TargetPro helps you identify your customers, understand
the markets you serve, and rank the potential of your prospects.
Built on the world’s leading desktop mapping software, MapInfo
Professional®, TargetPro is the easiest way to make the most of
your marketing investment.
With TargetPro, you will be able to:
Do you need analytical capabilities on your desktop, or do you
prefer to store data centrally and share projects among your
department? Do you rely on demographic data only as the basis
for your analysis or do you collect customer information and
license other 3rd party data sources to make better business
decisions? Do you need basic counts and data for a collection or
areas, or do you need to compare different geographic regions
against others and locate hot spots of potential for market
delivery?
In all cases, TargetPro has your answer.
TargetPro includes a collection of MapInfo Demographics,
developed by the MapInfo team of demographers, statisticians and
geographers. From basic demographics (like current year
estimates on population, households and race) to a more
diversified set of current year estimates and 5 year projections
(like financial wealth, consumer expenditures and income
levels), there is a data package to meet your marketing analysis
needs.
PSYTE Advantage, the geo-demographic segmentation system from
Pitney Bowes Software, is a powerful option for use within TargetPro. This
predictive data set provides a convenient means for analysts to
better understand their customers and their customers' behavior.
Understanding 'who' your customers are, 'what' their automobile
and reading preferences are, and 'how' they like to spend their
free time has never been easier. Developing effective marketing
campaigns that target the appropriate audience with the right
message is made easier with this information. Do you know where
to implement the campaign? TargetPro will help you locate the
right locations with the greatest potential.

drive-time polygons, or using free hand drawing tools. You can
also import custom trade areas such as telecommunication
boundaries from MapInfo Professional or a variety of other
spatial analysis packages.
Import Concordance Files
A concordance file is a set of smaller files that are combined
to make a single file. If you have a trade area that is made up
of 20 ZIP or Postcodes, you can import those files and have
TargetPro report on it as a single area.

You can easily create new data variables in TargetPro by adding,
subtracting, multiplying or dividing other variables. Other
custom variable include:
Median Variables -- Specify the
ranges and TargetPro will aggregate the appropriate range
categories and deliver an accurate median estimate.
Radially Processed Variables --
Specify a fixed radius and a fixed demographic variable, for
instance “3 miles and Population.” When any point is
entered, Radially Processed Variable Function will calculate
the population of a 3 mile ring around this point.
Geographic Parent Variables --
Specify the Parent geography level and a demographic
variable, for instance “Zip Code and Households.” When any
point is entered, the Geographic Parent Variable Function
will find the Zip Code that contains that point and produce
its Household count.
Geographic Constants -- Specify a
constant value for comparison, for instance “Adult
Population for Toronto.” The Geographic Constant Function
will use this as a the comparison point for calculating
percentages of other geographies.

TargetPro allows users to create reports with system data and
customer data. Provides the ability to rank on either.

a client server environment and also combined with other MapInfo
technologies to provide Intranet, Internet and Mobile Mapping
solutions.

reports into folders others can access. Projects can also be
