Location-Based Engagement

Geofencing captures the attention of potential customers by creating virtual boundaries around specific physical locations. These areas are chosen because they predict a consumer's interest in a product or service. Once a device enters a designated zone, it becomes part of an audience segment that can receive targeted messages. This approach allows businesses to engage individuals when they are physically present in areas relevant to their offerings, whether they are residents or visitors exploring Ashland.

For businesses in Ashland, this means focusing engagement on locations that align with local commerce and cultural activities. Given the city's appeal to both residents and tourists, key areas like Lithia Park, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival grounds, or the downtown shops become natural points of interest. By understanding where people go and why, businesses can deliver promotions or information that resonates directly with their immediate context, converting physical presence into measurable digital action.

Raincross develops these location-defined audiences based on real-world behavior and then measures the impact of subsequent outreach. This involves setting up precise virtual perimeters, deploying relevant messaging to devices within those boundaries, and then tracking outcomes like website visits or actual foot traffic to a business location. This systematic approach ensures that campaigns are not just visible, but also effective in guiding consumer decisions within the Ashland 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.
