Businesses in Portland can leverage geofencing to reach individuals who have visited specific physical locations. This strategy involves creating virtual boundaries around relevant areas, such as popular districts, attractions, or commercial zones. When a person's device enters one of these defined areas, they become part of an audience segment. This approach helps tailor messaging to individuals based on their demonstrated interests or likely needs, offering a way to engage with them digitally after their physical visit.
The effectiveness of this method stems from identifying places that genuinely indicate customer intent. For example, individuals frequenting the Old Port or specific shopping districts often signal interest in local goods, services, or experiences. By understanding these patterns, Raincross constructs location-defined audiences, turning physical foot traffic into a measurable digital engagement opportunity. This allows for focused communication with individuals most likely to respond to a business's offerings.
Raincross sequences this work by first identifying key locations in Portland relevant to a business's objectives. We then define precise virtual perimeters for these areas. As individuals interact with these locations, their inclusion in specific audience segments allows for targeted advertising. The impact is measured by tracking subsequent visits to a business's physical location or website, providing a clear understanding of how location-based engagement translates into customer actions and outcomes.
