Geofencing uses virtual boundaries around physical locations to define specific audiences. This service identifies individuals who have recently been in, or are currently in, a particular area. The approach moves beyond broad demographics by focusing on real-world actions, offering a way for businesses to reach consumers whose presence at certain sites indicates a current need or interest.
For businesses in Missoula, this means engaging potential customers based on their visits to relevant destinations. Instead of general advertising, a business can deliver messages to individuals who have visited places like the University of Montana campus, local outdoor recreation hubs, or specific downtown areas. This precision helps in targeting consumers when their physical location aligns with a likely intent, making marketing efforts more direct and impactful.
Raincross develops these campaigns by mapping out key locations that align with client objectives, then creating targeted messaging for those audiences. We track when these audiences visit the defined areas and then measure subsequent actions, such as visits to a client's physical location or online conversions. This provides a clear understanding of how real-world behavior translates into measurable business outcomes.
