Geofencing makes location targeting simple.
Why work with a geofencing marketing agency?
Geofencing is a technology that uses GPS to create virtual geographic boundaries (in industry terms, polygons) in order to trigger a response when mobile devices (like iPhone and Android smart phones) enter or leave a specific area.
Businesses can use geofencing data to increase the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns. How? Every smart phone has a unique device identification number (mobile device ID) – geofencing allows us to capture those and use them in platforms like Google, Facebook, and Instagram.
These device IDs can be used as a custom targeted audience, allowing us to deliver ads directly to the iPhones and Androids that were captured during the geofencing process.
How does geofencing marketing drive results?
When we upload a custom audience of mobile device IDs to Facebook, your ad targeting is taken to the next level.
Why? Because you can select specific date ranges between 1-90 days going back 18 months. If you wanted, you could gather mobile device IDs of everyone who attended the Academy Awards last year.
You can target an area as small as 25 square feet. This geofenced area could be a home, a business, or a list of thousands of addresses. For businesses with highly specific or niche target audiences that cannot typically be reached through larger paid social advertising campaigns, geofencing is a great alternative.
We often recommend uploading mobile device ID custom audiences to enhance targeting on Facebook Ads, Instagram Ads, Google Ads, and LinkedIn Ads – but we’ll customize our campaign strategy to the needs of your business.
In short, geofencing marketing at Blackhawk results in:
