Introduction
Your campaign can be flawless. But if the location data is wrong—store hours, licensing tier, format, contact info—your messaging falls apart fast.
Business location data management isn’t just an IT concern. It’s a critical foundation for assigning the right campaigns, enabling safe customization and launching signage or print without errors.
At IRIS Strategic Marketing Support (IRIS), we help brands manage this data where it matters most—inside campaign execution workflows. With GearBox® by IRIS, location data becomes the engine behind regional marketing that’s consistent, compliant and fast.
What Is Business Location Data Management?
Business location data management refers to the process of maintaining up-to-date, structured details about your stores, dealers, franchisees or branches—including:
- Address and contact info
- Store type or format
- Region or market assignment
- License or compliance tier
- Available services or inventory
- Operating hours and closure status
This data allows marketing and operations teams to assign campaigns correctly, filter signage kits, approve vendor fulfillment and measure field-level performance.
Why Inaccurate Location Data Breaks Campaigns
1. Wrong Materials Are Sent to the Wrong Locations
A store without outdoor signage gets outdoor materials. A dealer receives offers for a product they don’t carry.
2. Customization Happens Outside the System
Field teams modify templates or make their own because the campaign doesn’t fit their location.
3. Compliance Gaps Appear in Certain Markets
If legal disclaimers or license types are incorrect, materials may launch with regulatory risks.
4. Rollout Visibility Is Incomplete
Without accurate location segmentation, tracking usage and campaign adoption becomes guesswork.
What Good Business Location Data Management Supports
Campaign Logic by Store Type or Region
Each location gets only what it’s licensed or built to handle—ensuring targeted rollout.
Template Rules Tied to Data Fields
Templates can display or hide elements depending on location status, license or offerings.
Signage and Print Fulfillment Routing
Materials route to the right vendor, based on region, services or format.
Performance and Adoption Tracking by Location
Reports break down what launched, what didn’t and where engagement needs support.
