Location-Based Intent

Geofencing establishes virtual perimeters around specific physical locations, allowing businesses to engage audiences who have recently visited or are currently within those zones. This strategy identifies potential customers not just by demographics, but by their actual movements and presence in places that signal a specific interest or need. By capturing this real-world intent, businesses can deliver highly relevant messages that resonate with the immediate context of the individual, moving beyond broad targeting to direct engagement.

For businesses in Provo, this approach leverages the city's unique activity patterns. The presence of Brigham Young University, for instance, creates distinct clusters of students and residents whose needs can be predicted by their location. Whether targeting individuals near educational institutions, retail areas, or specific events, geofencing transforms physical presence into an opportunity for tailored communication. This precision helps businesses connect with the right audience at a moment when their interest is most likely to be high.

Raincross develops geofencing strategies by analyzing location-defined audiences and their real-world behaviors, then measuring their subsequent visits and revenue. We identify key locations where physical presence indicates purchase intent or a specific need, such as competitor locations or community hubs. This allows for the delivery of targeted messages that guide individuals toward your business, turning observed movements into measurable actions and valuable customer interactions within the Provo 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.
