Reaching Local Intent Through Physical Presence

Geofencing involves defining virtual boundaries around specific locations where relevant audiences gather or pass through. These digital perimeters enable the collection of anonymous data from devices entering or leaving these areas. Businesses can then deliver targeted advertising to these individuals, based on their past or present physical presence at sites like the Strong National Museum of Play, the University of Rochester, or local retail districts. This method helps engage those whose recent activities indicate a higher potential for interest in particular products or services.

For businesses in Rochester, this strategy focuses on reaching people whose location data suggests specific intent. Whether aiming to attract visitors near a convention center, students close to a university campus, or shoppers in a retail area, geofencing provides a way to serve relevant ads. This approach moves beyond broad demographics, pinpointing potential customers based on their engagement with physical spaces that predict a need or desire for certain products or experiences.

Raincross helps businesses implement geofencing by analyzing local areas to identify key locations that indicate target audience intent. We establish virtual boundaries and then manage the delivery of ads to devices within these defined zones. Performance is measured by tracking actions such as website visits, in-app engagements, or even physical store visits that result from the targeted ads. This allows for an understanding of how location-based engagement translates into measurable outcomes for businesses in Rochester.

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.
