The Challenge: Identifying a High-Potential Territory GreenLight Mobility franchises operate on a mobile service model, requiring careful territory selection to reach their target audience effectively. The Client’s primary challenge was determining the ideal region in the Milwaukee metro area. Their goals included:

• Selecting a contiguous territory with a target population of approximately 750,000.
  

• Prioritizing demographics aligned with GreenLight Mobility’s services, such as aging populations, suburban homeowners, and multi-story homes.
  

• Balancing geographic efficiency with market potential for sustainable business growth.
  

Without a clear understanding of the market dynamics in Milwaukee, The Client risked investing in suboptimal areas that could hinder business performance.

The Solution: Tailored Market Research for Franchise Success Matz Analytics conducted comprehensive market research to provide The Client with three territory options tailored to their goals. The process involved:

1. Data Collection: Leveraging demographic, housing, and economic data from trusted sources like the U.S. Census Bureau and American Community Survey.
   

2. Scoring Analysis: Using a proprietary formula to evaluate each ZIP code based on factors such as income, aging population, and housing characteristics while penalizing less favorable traits like high-density apartment living.
   

3. Geographic Optimization: Ensuring that each territory option was geographically contiguous, operationally efficient, and aligned with The Client’s target population size.
   

By combining demographic insights with geographic considerations, Matz Analytics delivered actionable results that aligned with GreenLight Mobility’s unique business model.

This approach mirrored a similar process we used to assist a leading beverage company in refining their product packaging and marketing strategy. While the contexts were different, both projects demonstrated the versatility and impact of data-driven market research.

The Results: Empowering Business Growth Through Market Research The market research provided The Client with three viable territory options, each presenting unique strengths:

• Group 1 offered a balance between size and market potential, capturing a mix of suburban and urban areas.
  

• Group 2 focused on compactness, offering logistical ease and efficiency for service delivery.
  

• Group 3 maximized market potential with the highest score but covered a larger geographic area, presenting challenges for logistics.
  

Ultimately, The Client chose the option that best aligned with their business goals, confident in the data-driven insights provided by Matz Analytics.

Key Takeaways: The Benefits of Market Research for Businesses This case study underscores the importance of market research for business growth, particularly for D2C businesses like GreenLight Mobility. The project highlights several key benefits:

• Data-Driven Decision Making: Market research removes the guesswork, ensuring decisions are based on reliable data.
  

• Optimized Resource Allocation: By targeting high-potential territories, businesses can maximize returns on investment.
