How do I run counts for a Drive Time?

Using our web site, you can run counts or purchase mailing lists using a host of different geographic options.  One very useful approach is to select a location and specify a drive time (in minutes) from that location.  Our system will automatically map out the area around your location that encompasses the drive time you selected.  The steps below outline how to run counts using a drive time selection.

1. Select Counts / Mailing Lists from the home page.
2. Choose a database that you're interested in, and click Start Count.
3. On the Geography page, click the Drive Time button on the right side.
4. Now select your starting point by entering an address, intersection, city, or zip code, and click Find. If found, the on-screen map will zoom to your area and place a marker on the exact location.
5. If you receive a message stating the address could not be found, you may use the Select Location button to manually click your exact location on the map.
6. Once your starting point has been selected, use the Drive Time drop down list to specify the number of minutes. 
7. The system will respond by drawing a polygon on the map that represents the drive time.  This is the area from which households will be selected for your count or list.
8. You may then change the default count options, and click Apply to add this selection to your count.
9. If you desire, you can add multiple drive time selections to a single count.
10. Click Update Count to get a count of the total households in your selected area, and/or proceed with adding demographic selections to your count by clicking the Continue button on the bottom right.
11. Once you have reached the List Options page, you may change any of the various options by clicking Change next to each one.
12. When finished, if you wish to purchase your list, click the Add to Cart button on the button right.
