Download: Turnover potential for multifunctional devices
The GfK Office Supplies Potential dataset shows region-specific turnover potential for office supplies. This invaluable dataset provides companies who manufacture, service and/or deliver office-related products the ability to optimize their sales strategies. GfK GeoMarketing not only provides information on the total market potential for office supplies, but also detailed potential data for 10 product groups. This month's exclusive download is a map illustrating potential for multifunctional devices.
GfK Office Supplies Potential - The solution to your turnover planning and sales force evaluation needs
Newly calculated for 2008, this market data set reveals the region-specific potential for office-related supplies, with information on potential for the total market as well as for the following ten product groups:
- Tele- / Mobile communications
- Internet services
- PCs
- Photocopiers
- Printers
- Multifunctional devices
- Projectors
- Software
- Office furniture
- Security systems
The GfK Office Supplies Potential dataset provides information at the level of five-digit postcodes and municipalities in per mill values. These values are based on the number of work places in a given region, providing companies that manufacture, store or deliver office-related products a decisive competitive advantage and an invaluable tool for managing external sales forces. By pairing these figures with your turnover goals, you can determine the actual potential for a given location and position your sales force accordingly.
