Fortune Small Business Says ZoomProspector “can help entrepreneurs hone in on untapped markets”
Fortune Small Business announced ZoomProspector.com’s newest business location search feature in the print edition of its April issue. The two-page spread, entitled “Picking the best places to launch a biz” demonstrates how businesses can use ZoomProspector’s new “Find Similar Communities” search option to match a familiar city to cities that have similar demographic and geographic characteristics.
“Small businesses often know what characteristics they like about their city, so we built this new tool to allow them to search for new places to expand in the USA that are a close match to places that they are already successful,” said Anatalio Ubalde, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of ZoomProspector.com. “Fortune Small Business Magazine is a leading publication for small businesses worldwide, so we’re pleased that the tremendous value ZoomProspector offers to small business owners will reach their readers.”
“ZoomProspector.com is a valuable resource for companies that are franchising because it’s easy to find new business markets that match the community characteristics of the places the company is already successful,” said Ubalde.
Quoted in the article is Sharon Chan, Executive Vice President of Laurus Construction:
“I’m able to figure out which communities to rule out and which to pursue. It’s almost like having a marketing company. You’re doing your own legwork, but it’s nice to have the data.”
