How Geofencing Display Ads Can Help Your Local Business Reach New Audiences
We talk a lot about local marketing and local SEO but there’s another local strategy businesses can use to target customers at exactly the
right time and place. It’s called geofencing and it can help grow your business in ways you might not have thought about. An
experienced internet marketing company like Smart WSI Marketing can help you use different types of marketing like ads, emails, and other
content to reach local customers seeking the products and/or services you provide. Contact
us to learn more.
How Does Geofencing Work?
A location-based technology, geofencing relies on the GPS location of smartphone users in designated geographic areas, including
competitor’s locations.
As part of a digital marketing strategy, geofencing is a powerful way to get information about your brand in front of the right people. It’s
a fairly simple process, especially if you focus on the word “fencing.” Geofencing works by creating a “fence” or border around a specific
location that can encompass multiple shops, addresses, and/or neighbourhoods.
You can use geofencing as part of your internet marketing strategy to:
Drive nearby foot traffic to your business.
Advertise at events that your target audience attend.
Target people at related businesses, i.e. people who might need your services, too.
Target a competitor’s customers.
Remarket to target customers after they’ve already visited your business.
A “fence” can be placed almost anywhere!
An internet marketing agency can help you use geofencing as part of your digital marketing strategy in the most cost-effective and
successful way. They’ll help you:
Identify your goals
Define your audience
Identify the best zones
Create and launch ads that speak directly to the customers you want to reach
Track results and adjust and refine for optimal results
