Economic Development Launches Innovative Website Tools Designed to Support Local Business

SizeUpFrederick provides free market research and business intelligence to help small businesses, while Resimplifi provides convenient access to local commercial property listings

FREDERICK, Md. - FREDERICK, MD - The Frederick County Office of Economic Development (FCOED) is thrilled to announce the launch of a new website featuring two additional business tools making powerful market research and business intelligence available to local businesses to help them succeed.

Through SizeUpFrederick, local businesses can now access industry-specific and hyperlocal information to help them grow and make smarter decisions using Big Data analysis. The research is individually customized for each company. By using the website service local businesses are able to:

1. Rank business performance compared to industry competitors
2. Discover potential customers, suppliers, and better understand the competitive landscape
3. Optimize advertising to target ideal customer segments

SizeUpFrederick helps to level the competitive business playing field by providing small businesses with similar market research that typically only large corporations can afford to access by contracting multinational management consulting companies or hiring internal research analysts. "In today's information economy, if you don't have access to information your business is at a significant disadvantage. With the launch of SizeUpFrederick on FCOED's website, we are empowering our small businesses in Frederick County to be able to make more data-driven decisions to better operate, succeed, and grow," said Lara Fritts, Director of the Frederick County Division of Economic Opportunity.

SizeUpFrederick uses big data, cloud computing, and computer algorithms to deliver custom analysis for local businesses. The data comes from hundreds of public and proprietary data sources covering firmographic, demographic, geographic, labor, wage, cost, consumer spending, transportation, and more.

This new service provided by the Frederick County Office of Economic Development is completely free to local businesses and available anytime through the DiscoverFrederick website at www.discoverfrederickmd.com/205/Small-Business-Insights.
