ChatGPT's Answer
Based on your customer data and the Smappen maps you’ve uploaded, here are some key trends and cluster insights:
High-Density Core:
Oakton (22124) and Fairfax (22030, 22031) show a very dense concentration of customers.
These ZIP codes form the geographic core of your customer base.
Notable Secondary Clusters:
Vienna (22180), Merrifield (22031), and Annandale (22003) also show moderate clustering.
Reston (20190, 20191) and Herndon (20170) display a distinct but slightly more spread-out set of points, indicating growing interest or potential.
Sparse Areas:
Chantilly (20151) and Centreville (20120) have lower customer density.
Northern McLean (22101) and the southern ends near Burke and Springfield show minimal activity.
ZIP codes with the most customer addresses include:
22124 (Oakton)
22031 & 22030 (Fairfax)
22180 (Vienna)
22003 (Annandale)
These areas likely have:
High foot traffic or commercial zones
Demographics aligned with your business (e.g., interest in dining, takeout, etc.)
Targeted Marketing:
Focus digital ads or promotions in ZIPs 22124, 22030, and 22031.
Test campaigns in 22003 and 22180 to push further into secondary clusters.
Delivery Zones or Pop-up Options:
A delivery or service expansion centered in Oakton-Fairfax would be optimal.
Consider Reston/Herndon for pop-up events or partnerships—visible cluster without dense competition.
Gap Filling:
Explore why areas like Burke or Springfield aren’t represented—could be untapped demand or barriers (e.g., traffic patterns, lack of awareness).
