Activating Location-Based Customer Behavior

Geofencing defines audience segments based on movement patterns and physical location. This approach identifies individuals who have visited specific places in Anchorage, signaling an interest or need that a business can address. By understanding which physical sites indicate a customer's intent, businesses can then engage them with relevant communications as they move through the city. This strategy focuses on delivering timely information to potential customers already demonstrating a propensity for a particular type of product or service.

This service establishes virtual boundaries around key locations, such as popular cultural sites, event venues, or specific retail areas within Anchorage. Once these location-defined audiences are established, businesses can deliver targeted messages that respond directly to that demonstrated interest. For businesses, this means reaching individuals who have shown interest in related offerings, whether they are locals or tourists exploring the area. The effectiveness of these campaigns is then measured by tracking subsequent visits or revenue generated from these engaged audiences.

Raincross applies this discipline by analyzing which real-world locations genuinely predict customer intent for a business. We define target perimeters around places like downtown Anchorage, specific visitor attractions, or commercial districts. This allows businesses to present personalized promotions or event updates to individuals nearby, helping drive foot traffic and potential sales. Our method connects the physical movements of consumers with specific business objectives, turning location data into actionable marketing opportunities within the Anchorage market.

Awareness was never the problem. The opportunity was proximity: making it effortless to find a nearby location at the exact moment of the decision. Most of those searches happened on a phone with immediate intent, someone wanting hours, directions, or the closest restaurant, not information about the brand.
