Reaching Customers Where They Go

Geofencing defines specific geographic areas to understand how people interact with physical locations. By analyzing foot traffic patterns, businesses can gain insight into potential customer needs and interests. This approach tracks visits to various points of interest, from commercial centers to public spaces, in Grand Forks. It then allows for messages to be delivered to individuals who have shown a relevant connection through their real-world presence.

This strategy addresses the challenge of reaching people who have already demonstrated an inclination towards a service or product by their physical actions. For businesses in Grand Forks, it means identifying those who spend time at locations relevant to their offerings. For example, individuals visiting specific retail areas or event venues indicate a level of interest that can be leveraged. Such insights refine audience targeting, moving beyond general demographics to actual behavior.

Raincross measures the effectiveness of these location-defined audience segments by tracking subsequent visits and conversions. This process involves setting up virtual boundaries around relevant Grand Forks locations, then delivering messages to devices that enter these zones. The objective is to ensure that marketing efforts are directed towards individuals most likely to engage, based on their observed physical movements and demonstrated intent.

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.
