The key to success in marketing a mapping and topographical service is to combine time-tested marketing techniques with the most cutting edge strategies in today's marketplace.

For a mapping and topographical service, a great business model doesn't guarantee solid revenues.

Media Monitoring

Some marketing initiatives lend themselves to simple measurement while others are more challenging.

But how do you go about measuring your brand's marketing footprint in geographic and demographic sectors? Fortunately, media monitoring has the ability to give your mapping and topographical service a sense of market presence and other variables that are difficult to quantify. Although media monitoring is not the only tool for measuring intangible brand qualities, it has the benefit of highlighting negative PR, giving your mapping and topographical service the ability to control bad buzz when it appears in the marketplace.

Savvy marketers believe that smartphone marketing is the next big promotional trend and are investing in strategies that leverage the mobile computing power of today's consumers.
