BatchGeoCode - Useful Marketing Tool
  • September 2009
    http://www.batchgeocode.com/

    I have just input addresses for all the orders from one of my clients, and it shows where all the orders came from on a nice shiny Map.
    This then allows us to see at a glance where his customers are, and and use this info for marketing projects.
    You can export the results to a webpage, or a KML file to use in Google Earth.

    Have fun :woot:

    Note: I uploaded 2182 records, and it does have a warning saying to do it in batches of 500, but if you wait awhile, it eventually does it. Also, you can not save to a web page if you have more than 1000 records.

    Statistics | Store Overview | Locations

    You first need to setup a google maps api http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html then enter that into setting | misc in interspire

    OK, I admit it. This is fucking cool. This is the level of interaction that just amazes me with Interspire.

    Once Google re-maps the entire UK so the entire country has high resolution images, I'll be able to zoom in and see that lovely furniture set in their garden. Now that's creepy. But cool.

    "Dear Mr ......

    We've noticed you have no blinds in your conservatory. They really do help maintain a constant temperature for year round comfort. You can buy them here..

    I also see your Pool has no cover and now the nights are getting longer and colder this really is an essential piece of equipment. It'll also keep the leaves out. Click here for details...

    Your Roses are looking a bit pale. Can I suggest our generic rose fertiliser for a good feed before winter. You might want 2 bottles given the size of your garden.

    I also see your wife's bikini is sooo last years. We have some great colours in stock and some of the new shapes are particularly flattering on women of a certain shape.

    Best regards,

    etc"

    I was also going to put in a line about bikini waxing but in the end decided against it.

    I don't think Google have invested in super HD cameras just yet :p

    Though it can't be long before these tools integrate with directory-type scenarios - lists a street, names, addresses, phone details, etc - view the map of the house, notice they don't have a conservatory, then call 'em up and try and sell them one.

    Although if this freaks you out, you can have your house removed if you complain to Google :)

    I know Google have more power than the government nowadays but coming and physically removing your house just because you complain is going a bit far.:eek:

    We have just enable google maps on our back end and it's fantastic, probably of little use to us really but fantastic all the same

    Indeed, they are perverts and that's all there is to it! They will give the same message about not having the area covered like you get when you try to view the middle of the Highlands zoomed in.
