Geofence Advertising

Geofence Advertising

Geofence Advertising, geofencing, or geotargeting, is a location-based way to reach your target audience. This can be done a couple different ways but is a highly effective way to reach your preferred customers. The best way to think of this is like so: If you own a car dealership and are tired of customers going to the dealership down the street, you can use geofence advertising to place ads for your dealership to people within the competitor's dealership. You already know they're interested in buying, why not hit them with an ad for your cars?

What Is Geofencing and How Can It Help Your Business?

Geofencing is a location-based service. It is otherwise known as location target or geo targeting. Many apps and browsers use location data to provide optimum service to their users, determining location through cellular data, global positioning (GPS), satellite radio frequency identification (RFID) and WiFi.


Once the location is set, the information gathered can trigger an action such as alerts, SMS messages or push notifications. Geofencing is used primarily in digital marketing, online advertising, search engine advertising and social media marketing.


Geofences may also be set up to track activities in specific locations. Alerts can be set up to send notifications when anyone enters or leaves a particular area. Businesses can track employees or automate their time cards. It is crucial for companies to use and optimize geofencing for their marketing or advertising campaigns. The importance of defining and specifying geofencing for digital marketing in order to include or exclude locations and audiences cannot be understated.

Uses of Geofencing

Geofences are commonly integrated within the code of an app or software because users need to opt-in in order for the geofence to work. For instance, a local business could create a geofence around their store or outlet to trigger alerts for customers who downloaded their app or

opted to avail of their location services. Before integrating geofencing, it is important to create a virtual boundary around your target location using GPS or RFID-enabled software. This geofence would trigger a response when a device enters or exits the area as specified by the targeting settings. There are modern software applications that use geofencing technology and graphical interfaces which allow users to create precise boundaries.

Some lifestyle or productivity apps allow users to choose their address or location, which could help trigger an alert or notification. This is referred to as the “if this, then that” function, where an app is designed to trigger an action following a user’s entrance to the desired location. The same response can be triggered by the desired action as well.

Home automation services allow their users to control their home’s devices from a remote location using the app. They increasingly offer automated functions such as auto-locking doors, engaging alarms, tweaking the home’s climate settings, or other actions based on geofencing triggers.

Geofencing isn’t exclusive to generating sales with mobile apps. It has been used to control vehicles and track containers. Even drones are now programmed for geofencing.

The Many Benefits of Geofencing

  • More than 95% of Americans use cell phones, and 77% of them have geofence app access. 80% of mobile users use apps with geofence access. As you can imagine, the potential to reach target markets through geofencing is practically limitless! It’s no wonder that geofencing has become an integral function to many business models.
  • Geofencing has become one of the most popular location-targeting tools for marketing. People can move from one location to another in minutes and advertisers, having only a small window for promotion and marketing, can optimize campaign strategies by following people as they move from one location to another.
  • Geofencing apps can be optimized for various purposes. They are perfect for companies that are holding events by connecting people with event-related messages. Geofencing is also commonly used to connect with old or new customers, loyal clients and even customers who have just visited your competitor’s location.
  • Geofencing helps businesses determine how their dollars are spent, and their investments are returned. It can show information about users who have reacted to your ad, visited your store or made a purchase.

Online Marketing With Geofencing

  • Geofencing can be used across many types of online marketing or advertising campaigns. This includes remarketing, search engine advertising, online video advertising, display advertising and other social media campaigns.
  • A small store could create a geofence in the area surrounding its location. When people pass through this area, they would receive a location-based alert that would prompt them to stop and check out the store.
  • A car dealership could set up a geofencing ad which targets people who are leaving a competitor’s dealership. The dealership can actually send them a real time message with an offer such as zero-percent financing.
  • Event producers, artists and musicians can use geofencing for relevant offers during events. They could set up a geofence around different tour venues. Geofencing could also help collect data about the people in the area in order to understand the mindset of potential attendees. They can then prepare and predict possible concert turnouts.
  • Lawyers and other professionals as can set up geofencing advertising campaigns designed to target people interested in a specific area of case law. They could also geofence competitor’s locations or locations of related services such as bail bondsmen.
  • Medical practices can improve marketing strategy by using geo targeting. This can be a part of their comprehensive marketing strategy. It is a great way for a plastic surgery clinic to reach potential clients.
