What is Geofencing and How to use it in your Mobile Marketing Strategy-315(1)Even if you're comfortable with digital marketing, the term "geofencing" might still be new to you.

What Is Geofencing?

Geofencing is a type of mobile marketing that allows advertisers to limit their advertisements to a specific geographical area. Sometimes, those limitations can be as precise as a single shopping mall, or a block of a street.

Geofencing is tied to your own smartphone app and limited to the area you set. When people who have downloaded your app are in the area, your ads are automatically sent to their mobile devices.

Why Does Geofencing Work?

Geofencing takes targeting to the next level, by targeting ads to people who are a) interested, b) downloaded your app, and c) within the physical geographical area of your store.

How to Use Geofencing
