Activating Location-Based Intent

Geofencing defines virtual boundaries around specific locations where target audiences are likely to be found. In Hartford, this means identifying places that genuinely indicate consumer intent or interest. We develop these custom perimeters around relevant areas, allowing businesses to deliver advertising messages to individuals who enter these zones. This method helps an organization reach potential customers at times and places most relevant to their purchasing decisions or engagement.

This targeting strategy begins by identifying locations that align with business objectives, such as competitor venues, event spaces like the Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts, or areas with specific retail activity. Once these zones are established, Raincross deploys advertising to individuals detected within them. This approach allows businesses to engage with potential customers precisely when they are in a relevant physical context, influencing their immediate actions or future considerations regarding products and services available in Hartford.

Performance measurement is central to our geofencing service. We track how targeted individuals respond to advertisements, including whether they subsequently visit a client's physical location or complete a desired action. This measurement connects ad exposure to real-world behavior, providing insight into the campaign's effectiveness. By understanding which locations yield the best results, businesses can refine their strategy to maximize reach and impact among specific audiences in the local 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.

    You can target various locations, including specific retail districts, cultural sites like the Connecticut Science Center, or even areas surrounding local events.
