Introduction
Campaign success depends on precision—and that starts with data. If store hours, franchisee contacts, license tiers or signage specs are wrong, your rollout will be too.
For brands managing hundreds or thousands of locations, business location data management isn’t just operational—it’s strategic.
At IRIS Strategic Marketing Support (IRIS), we help brands tie campaigns directly to accurate, approved location data through GearBox® by IRIS. The result: marketing materials that reach the right place, reflect the right message and launch on time.
What Is Business Location Data Management?
Business location data management refers to organizing and maintaining all key information tied to a physical business location, including:
- Store type or tier
- Franchise or dealer ID
- Licensing, disclaimers or legal zones
- Contact names, hours and addresses
- Layouts, signage specs or vendor preferences
- Market or regional assignment
When this data is embedded in your marketing system—not sitting in spreadsheets—it becomes the backbone of targeted campaign execution.
The Risks of Poor Location Data Management
1. Campaign Mismatch
A high-volume location might receive a small-format signage kit. A store under licensing restrictions might get a noncompliant offer.
2. Customization Errors
Without correct contact names, hours or pricing rules, templates get filled in manually—and inaccurately.
3. Delayed Fulfillment
Incorrect vendor preferences or print specs slow down routing and delivery.
4. No Way to Track What’s Live
If campaign reporting isn’t tied to real locations, marketing can’t identify who’s off-brand or out-of-date.
