Geofence Mobile Advertising Strategies Work

Geofenced display advertising is proving to be an effective tactic for digital marketers across multiple industries.  The companies that learn to include this intelligent, location-based advertising into their mix will likely see quick returns and will be positioning themselves to be more competitive in the future.

What is geofencing?

Geofencing mobile advertising strategies are the practice of establishing a radius around a high-value physical location.  That could include an advertiser’s brick & mortar location, public events (sporting events, street fairs, etc.), industry conferences, travel destinations, and more.

You can adjust the size of the radius to accommodate different campaign strategies.  Businesses can:

  • B2B advertisers who want to drive booth traffic at a key industry conference that their salespeople are attending would want to keep their geofence tight to the conference venue and any applicable hotels in the nearby area.
  • Restaurant advertiser who wants to drive lunch traffic would want to cast a slightly larger net and would set their geofence up to include key business, shopping, and residential areas within a short distance to their location.
  • An entertainment venue in a coastal tourist town that wants to increase same-day visits may want to geofence popular beaches and push ads with real-time information & offers for their business.

Depending on the campaign strategy, advertisers can add multiple targeting layers to be even more precise with their geofence advertising investments.  In addition, they can use targeting strategies such as gender, income, and in-market behavior to further refine their approach.

Benefits of Geofencing Ads

Geofencing ads can be a powerful tool for businesses to reach people in a specific location. Some key benefits include:

  • Precise Targeting
    By focusing display ads (and other) on a specific geographic location, you can ensure your ads are reaching the right audience.
  • Increased Engagement
    By utilizing geofencing, businesses can boost relevance and increase user engagement by delivering relevant ads to customers when they’re in close proximity.
  • Better Conversion Rates
    Geofencing ads help drive foot traffic, as users who receive the ad are already in the vicinity of the business.
  • Cost-Effective
    Geofencing ads take location-based services up a notch, delivering powerful ROI boosts that traditional advertising methods just can’t compete with.
  • Data Collection
    Geofencing technology helps you get ahead of the game and collect key information about your customer’s behavior and preferences, so that you can optimize ad targeting strategies for maximum results.
