Unlock the Power of Your Customer’s Smartphone with Johnson Advertising
Today, consumers have an intimate relationship with their phones. They rely everything on them from communication to shopping and avoiding human contact. When it comes to advertising your business, the main concern is how to get in front of your potential customers to get the sale.
Though nothing comes with a guarantee in marketing, however, if we can confidently put ‘guarantee’ on something, your target audience will most likely look at their smartphones anywhere from 10-100 times in a day. Research confirmed by Samsung & Apple states that users unlock their smartphones 80 times in a single day.
So, there has never been a better time to use location-based technologies in your marketing and advertising. Proximity marketing is one of the key tactics that work great for car dealers and other industries of all sizes.
What is Proximity Marketing?
The information coming to you from all the directions is quite overwhelming. You can’t drive down or walk on the street without receiving ten new advertisements aiming for your attention every second. The same happens when you browse on Social Media Platforms such as Facebook, Instagram or when you are simply surfing the internet. With so much competition, business owners are worried about how to make them visible to potential customers. Proximity Marketing is the solution to their worries.
With cellular technology, Proximity Marketing helps to identify the mobile devices within a certain radius of a business to send them alluring and captivating marketing messages.
Different types of proximity marketing devices include:
Bluetooth or Beacon Proximity Marketing
This technology is empowered by beacons that are little devices that send BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) signals to nearby mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. On emission, these one-way radio waves interact with the smartphones in the vicinity of the Beacon device. When a signal reaches a phone from a Beacon, it stimulates specific actions such as location-based alerts and notifications.
Geo-fencing- Proximity Marketing
Geofencing is a technology that is utilized for mobile proximity targeting. Geofence is a virtual boundary around real-world geographic areas. A Geofence is generated around a point location like a store as a radius.
Proximity Geofencing Marketing allows businesses to micro-target consumers based on the physical places they go. Experts at Johnson Advertising can place a Geofence directly around the location of a building you want to target. Then we initiate capturing the ID of people’s mobile devices who walk inside that Geofence. Then we serve ads to those people while they are present at the location. It is also possible to interact with them for up to 30 days.
You can target geographic boundaries from anywhere in the US for mobile ad serving, which includes:
- Zip Codes
- Nationwide
- Statewide
- City Boundaries
- Neighborhoods
- Local Communities
- Zip Codes
- Points of Interest
- Multi-Market
