“Nobody reads ads. People read things that interest them, sometimes it’s an ad”

Ok, so you know your target audience. Now what? In an age of online ads, a business that knows who, what, and where its customers hang out has the upper hand.

With geo-fencing, aka location-based targeting, serving your prospects targeted ads is easier than ever. At Crestone Digital Advertising, we know this firsthand. Read on to find out more.

Why it Works?

We’re so glad you asked.

Geo-fencing is an innovative geotargeting technology that works as a marketing and sales strategy.

Its power is in targeting the right audiences based on their activity and location and running a digital fence around their whereabouts. Anytime your target audience steps into that location or does that activity, they’ll see live targeted ads in real-time and afterward.

It gets better. Widen your reach with wider fences. Your prospects will get immediate exposure to targeted ads at competitor locations, retailers, and offices.

How can it help your business?

You give us, at Crestone Digital Advertising, a list of targeted locations where your customer shops, eats, and lives. With this list, we’ll draw a digital fence around the areas. When a prospect enters these locations, we retrieve their mobile device IDs. Now, you can serve your targeted ads across thousands of mobile apps and websites, 24/7. Continue to serve your ads even after they’ve left their geo-fence.

We provide stats and analytics like how many people visit your business after being served your ads. This helps you finetune your ad and continue to make your strategy more efficient and successful. Target new customers at trade shows, your competitor’s locations, conventions, and sporting events at every digital touchpoint in the customer’s buying journey.

Stay ahead of the curve in 2024! 

In the ever-evolving landscape of digital marketing, staying ahead of the curve is paramount. As we step into 2024, one strategy continues to take center stage—geofencing in advertising. This innovative approach is reshaping the way businesses connect with their target audience, providing a level of precision and engagement that was once unimaginable.

The Power of Precision

Geofencing allows advertisers to draw virtual boundaries around specific geographic areas, enabling them to deliver targeted messages to users within those zones. This level of precision is a game-changer in advertising, as businesses can tailor their promotions to the interests and needs of local audiences.

Location-Based Personalization

Imagine receiving a special promotion just as you walk by your favorite store or getting a notification for a nearby event that aligns with your interests. Geofencing enables advertisers to personalize content based on a user’s location, creating a more relevant and engaging experience. In 2024, consumers crave personalization, and geofencing delivers just that.

Enhancing Customer Engagement

Geofencing doesn’t just stop at delivering advertisements; it goes further by enhancing customer engagement. Retailers can send exclusive offers to shoppers inside their stores, event organizers can provide real-time updates to attendees, and restaurants can entice passersby with limited-time discounts. The result? Increased foot traffic, higher conversion rates, and improved customer satisfaction.

Smart Strategies for Smartphones

As smartphones become an integral part of our daily lives, geofencing leverages this technology to its fullest potential. Advertisers can reach consumers on the devices they carry everywhere, ensuring that the right message reaches the right people at the right time. This level of connectivity is invaluable in a world where mobile users expect relevant content on their fingertips.

Optimizing Advertising Spend

Geofencing isn’t just about precision and personalization; it’s also about efficiency. Advertisers can optimize their ad spend by targeting specific geographic areas where their audience is most likely to be. This focused approach ensures that resources are allocated where they can make the most impact, maximizing the return on investment.

Adapting to the Changing Landscape

In the midst of technological advancements, consumer behaviors, and global events, geofencing has proven to be adaptable. From COVID-19 response strategies to aligning with the latest consumer trends, geofencing remains a dynamic tool that advertisers can leverage to stay relevant and responsive.

Looking Ahead

As we navigate the complexities of 2024, geofencing stands as a beacon of innovation in advertising. Its ability to provide targeted, personalized, and engaging experiences positions it as a cornerstone in the marketing strategies of forward-thinking businesses. By unlocking the power of geofencing, advertisers can not only connect with their audience but also pave the way for a more efficient and impactful advertising landscape.

In conclusion, as we unlock the potential of geofencing in advertising, we embark on a journey where precision meets personalization, and success is just a virtual boundary away. Welcome to the future of advertising in 2024—where geofencing is the key to unlocking unparalleled success.
