Act on Location-Based Intent

Geofencing targets specific audiences by creating virtual boundaries around physical locations. This method allows organizations to deliver messages to people who are present in these defined areas or who have recently visited them. Businesses can use this to engage potential customers at moments when their physical actions indicate a specific interest or need, such as visiting a competitor, a related business, or a relevant cultural site. The approach focuses on capturing intent demonstrated by real-world behavior, rather than relying solely on online activity.

This targeting strategy solves the problem of reaching interested parties precisely when their physical proximity signals a decision point. In a city like San Antonio, where landmarks such as the Alamo or the River Walk attract many visitors, businesses can communicate directly with these groups. Organizations can also target local residents near commerce hubs, ensuring promotions and information reach them effectively. Raincross builds these location-defined audiences based on their actual movements, focusing resources where engagement is most likely to occur.

Our approach to geofencing involves identifying key physical locations that predict user intent, then setting up virtual perimeters. We then monitor and measure the effectiveness of these campaigns, tracking visits and revenue generated from targeted messages. This measurement ensures that the investment in reaching location-defined audiences translates into tangible business outcomes. The data collected helps refine future campaigns, optimizing the reach and relevance of messages delivered to these highly specific groups.

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.
