Why Maps? Is there much business for Maps in Morocco?

Lately many people have been asking me what do I do exactly.

Well in short I am in the Map Making Business. Maps in Morocco, what for? you may ask......
So, here are 10 good reasons businesses / individuals in Morocco should start using Maps:

1. If you are into marketing, Custom Maps are a great way to promote your business because your customers will refer to them very often. They are much more attractive than regular brochures.
2. A lot of business is lost due to the fact that people do not know how to get to a specific place. Maps help your customers get to you very easily.
3. Maps help you do business faster and save you time and money
4. Each major event happens in a place. So a map can help you make better decisions.
5. If you are a Big company it helps you in better understanding your customers, your market share and your most efficient way of working.
6. If you are looking to better know what is around you, not a better way than to use a map....
How much do moroccans know about Morocco? It is not suprising to see many tourists that come here and who know more about Morocco than Moroccans.. I think a big secret for that is their use of maps :)
7. Today's maps or (GIS: Geographic Information Systems) allow you to pu many layers of date in the same geographic area in order to fnd out the best conclusions about specific issues.
8. Maps are easier to understand than raw data or charts.
9. People like maps, so put them on your websites. Most websites in Morocco lack good quality maps.
10. And Finally good MAPS are very attractive... They are one of the very few products that sell themselves :)

I had many times wondered how we could live in some given place without knowing what's going around! This project would give inchaallah a new sight to the business environment, and will definitely contribute in providing businesses with additional market shares. Wish you the best of luck.
