Geo-conquesting is an excellent tool to identify and steal customers from your competitors. For online companies they can even weave in a social distancing advantage.  Geo-conquesting in mobile advertising that uses location-based mobile advertising to direct consumers toward a specific business when physically in a competitor’s location.

Tracking the physical locations consumers visit can indicate a more committed buying intention compared to following their digital journey. Our technology allows you to identify anonymous prospects and/or target your competitors’ customers and prospects. Our geo-conquesting approach turns anonymous prospects into identifiable leads who can be reached through a range of omni-channel executions such as real-time digital ads, post-visit digital ads and direct mail.

Geo-fencing

Many rely on geo-fencing technology that uses the location services on a consumer’s mobile device.

There are three main downsides to this approach:

  1. The consumer must have location services turned on on their mobile device. It also requires them to agree to share their location with a specified app or marketer before a digital ad is served.
  2. Geo-fencing uses cell phone towers to triangulate the consumers position which limits precise location accuracy due to the nature of triangulation.
  3. It’s limited to real-time ad serving, which means advertisers can only reach the consumer when they are within the geofenced parameters. 

Geo-framing

The better approach is to use the patented geo-framing approach to discovering mobile devices within specific geolocations. This approach uses the ad serving data from third-party apps or websites. The consumer must use an app or visit a website that serves third-party ads while on location.

There are several benefits to this approach:

  • The ability to target a very specific location correlating latitude and longitude data, which is accurate down to a square meter. This enables marketers to specifically target a store and or parking lot of the competitor’s location without overlapping other businesses. So, if you’re a Ford dealership and you want to target the customers of the Chevrolet dealership, you can specifically geo-frame that dealership building and the parking lot.
  • It allows for real-time ad serving while on location.
  • It provides the ability to continue digital targeting post-visit to the device as well as other devices connected to a consumer’s home IP network.
  • It identifies the consumer’s home address allowing you to leverage direct mail directly into the household.

Imagine your business is a supermarket and you want to identify and target mobile devices at a competitor’s store—how could you? Or you sell pet products and want to target mobile devices at the local dog park? Or a cruise line with mobile devices at the cruise terminal boarding a competitor’s ship?
