Free Map Tool [1]

January 13, 2023 by Melanie Jones [2]

The Free Map Tool [3] has a ZIP Code Radius Search Map which allows you to determine what Zip Codes fall into a set range from a set point (ie. 10 mile radius of 80203 or within a specific area). These Zip Codes can then be used in a Salesforce Report to capture an audience based on where individuals live. This is often useful when hosting an in-person event and determining who to invite.

When requesting an audience based on geographic location from an eComm specialist, either:

  • Specify the input to your eComm specialist (Radius and Central Zip Code, ie. 10 mile radius of 80203 or 'Front Range') OR
  • Use a version of the Free Map Tool yourself and provide the Zip Codes to your eComm specialist

Input

  • OPTION 1: Radius From Central Point
  • OPTION 2: Draw on Map
