New Business Resource: BusinessDecision
BusinessDecision, a new web-based service that combines extensive consumer household, business, and demographic data with a powerful mapping technology known as geographic information systems (GIS), is now available to Grand Rapids Public Library patrons for free. With this new service, local businesses can access demographic data to help with such tasks as finding prospective customers, analyzing trade areas, evaluating competitors, identifying new store locations, and targeting media buys and direct mail campaigns. Data can instantly be created and emailed to users or stored on-line.
Patrons can access BusinessDecision at any Grand Rapids Public Library, and GRPL card holders can access from any internet computer. Just access the database page of the library website. BusinessDecision is provided to Grand Rapids Public Library patrons through a generous grant from the Titche Family Fund--Ryerson Library Foundation.
