Geofencing Technology: How It Works and How Klever Uses It to Drive Better Marketing Results

Geofencing is a location-based technology that establishes a virtual boundary around a specific geographic area, enabling software to trigger actions when a device enters or exits this predefined zone. This technology integrates Global Positioning System (GPS), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Wi-Fi, or cellular data to define these virtual perimeters. When a user's device crosses this boundary, it can prompt various responses, such as sending notifications, alerts, or targeted advertisements.

Mechanics of Geofencing

At its core, geofencing involves the following steps:

  1. Defining the Geofence: A virtual boundary is established around a specific location using GPS or RFID technology. This boundary can be as simple as a radius around a point or as complex as custom-shaped polygons that match real-world boundaries.
  2. Monitoring Device Locations: Applications on users' devices continuously monitor their location data, typically through GPS.
  3. Triggering Actions: When a device enters or exits the defined geofenced area, the application triggers a predetermined action, such as sending a push notification, alert, or targeted advertisement.

Geofencing in Marketing

In marketing, geofencing is leveraged to deliver location-based promotions and advertisements to consumers. By defining virtual boundaries around areas of interest—such as retail stores, event venues, or competitor locations—businesses can engage with potential customers in a timely and relevant manner. For instance, a coffee shop might set up a geofence around its location to send special offers to users who enter the vicinity during morning hours.

Benefits of Geofencing in Marketing

Implementing geofencing in marketing strategies offers several advantages:

  • Enhanced Targeting: Geofencing allows businesses to target audiences based on their real-time location, ensuring that ads are relevant and timely.

  • Increased Engagement: Personalized, location-based messages drive higher engagement than generic advertising campaigns.

  • Improved Conversion Rates: By reaching consumers when they are near a point of sale, businesses can increase the likelihood of conversions.

  • Cost-Effectiveness: Geofencing enables businesses to focus their marketing efforts on specific areas, reducing waste and optimizing ad spend.
