How to Incorporate Geofencing B2B Content Strategy
Geofencing or Radio Frequency Identification technology (RFID) is a technology that leverages virtual geographical perimeter targeting around any specific location, building, convention center or space that can be identified on a map & can be used for hyper-targeting sales’ prospects.
The technology operates on a geographical radii-based targeting, wherein any mobile user, who has opted-in & provided his content to be targeted for marketing, can be tracked, & based on their interest areas personalized ad-campaigns can be used to target them.
Delivering hyper-personalized content to the geo-targeted users, in-turn is used to optimize their experiences which help the B2B marketers in achieving their bottom-line goal of optimizing their Return on Investment (ROI).
According to a study published by b2bcommunity.com: 70% of the B2B marketers are willing to share their location if they get some useful information about their buying interests in return for the information they provide.
While 60% customers search local information about businesses on their mobile devices.
Geofencing is a new concept & the next big thing for marketers who wish to target their audiences based on geographical radii & wish to launch specific geo-targeted ad-campaigns with well-tailored segment-specific content strategies to boost the experiences of their buying prospects.
According to a study by Mobile Marketer, Geofencing is capable of generating twice as many Click-Through Rates (CTR) than normal mobile advertising.
Furthermore, a study by Search Engine Land implies that geo-targeted mobile display advertising helps marketers achieve twice as many Click-Through Rates (CTR) as the standard industry benchmark.
Audiences can be segmented into separate clusters based on their intent data, their demographic, firmographic, technographic, psychographic & cookie-data. Moreover, the audiences & prospects can also be refined using their cookie-data, past researching methodologies & their buying history.
Before targeting the audiences using Geofencing or RFID, the most important caution to be taken is that the ad-targeting must be GDPR-compliant. If any targeting overlooks the preferences of the prospects, the violation of the GDPR norms can be perceived as creepy for the prospects & the company may have to pay penalties.
