Geofencing: Event Marketing and Targeting

Event targeting is utilizing to build an audience that is based on a geofence during a specific time window and date of an event and then advertise to that audience. These customers do not need to be in attendance of the event in order to reach them. With WebDetail’s geofencing marketing solution, you will be able to realize over 97 percent in advertising efficiencies as opposed to advertising utilizing a one-mile radius targeting.

You can utilize an assortment of ideal locations for your geofence including:

• Arenas
• Stadiums

• Festivals
• Parks

Location-Based Advertising

Our geofencing technology permits retailers and franchises to target individuals based on their physical locations. We are able to build geofences based on where your customers are located as opposed to where you ultimately want them to be. Regardless of whether it is a physical building, a particular event, or something else entirely that you want to have geofenced, it can be an incredibly mechanism to serve advertisements to individuals based on their physical location.

Does Advertising Actually Produce Store Walk-Ins?

The geofencing technology has the ability to track who has seen your advertisements and determine whether they have physically entered your store. Conversion zones can be incredibly powerful in tracking your online advertising as they compare to your offline conversions—the individuals who physically went to a certain location due to seeing your advertisements.

How Does Event Targeting Work?

A virtual geofence is essentially “traced” around a specific location where an advertiser wishes to build an audience based on a visit to that specific location during a pre-determined, scheduled timeframe. Once a customer enters that geofenced location during that specific timeframe, the customer will become part of the audience that can be targeted later on after the event.
