Activating Location-Based Intent

Geofencing uses digital boundaries to define audiences by where they physically go, leveraging their real-world presence as a strong indicator of interest. By placing virtual perimeters around specific locations, businesses can deliver messages to individuals inside these areas. This strategy allows for precise targeting, ensuring advertising reaches people when they are most receptive to a relevant offer or communication, and directly influencing their immediate decisions.

For businesses in Philadelphia, this approach means identifying key landmarks, business districts, or event venues where potential customers gather. The city's blend of historic sites and cultural attractions, from the Liberty Bell to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, creates numerous points of interest. Establishing geofences around these or other relevant areas, such as competitor locations, helps businesses connect with people whose physical presence suggests a particular need or intention.

Raincross develops geofencing campaigns that move beyond simple location-based targeting. We construct audience segments based on observed patterns of movement and behavior, then track the impact of these campaigns through metrics like physical visits and direct revenue attribution. This allows businesses to understand the effectiveness of their efforts in converting location-defined interactions into tangible results, optimizing strategies for maximum return.

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.

06Questions

Questions we are asked about this.

  • How does geofencing help my Philadelphia business attract customers?

    Geofencing helps your business reach people who are physically near relevant locations, such as your store, a competitor, or a related event. This allows you to deliver timely, targeted messages to individuals showing an immediate intent or interest, encouraging them to visit your establishment.

  • Can I target people visiting specific Philadelphia landmarks?

    Yes, geofencing allows you to place virtual boundaries around specific locations like the Liberty Bell or the Philadelphia Museum of Art. This enables you to engage with tourists or residents who are in areas that align with your business offerings.
