Buyer interest is crucial for business success. Retargeting and geofencing work in tandem to zoom in on buyers who are genuinely interested in your brand. The tools of mobile geofencing (retargeting, geofencing, device ID capture, video ads, and others) fit the marketing needs for retailers.
What is retargeting? When a device user clicks on an ad we place their ID in a retargeting folder. We can then start a separate retargeting campaign geared to the devices that engaged the ad. These devices can be anywhere in the US and they will still receive the ad. The rate of engagement for a retargeting campaign can run from 2X to 16X compared to a regular campaign.
Reason #1: Numbers Don’t Lie
Statistics show that 75 percent of consumers notice retargeted ads. Furthermore, Khalid Selah states that “the average click-through rate for display ads is 0.07 percent, while the average click-through for retargeted ads is about 0.7 percent.” Essentially, people are more likely to click on retargeted ads than display ads. Therefore, effectively using retargeted ads in geofencing has the potential to generate a higher ROI than other digital marketing strategies.
Reason #2: Offers a Personal Approach
The best-retargeted ads appeal to specific interests of the consumer. These ads can be created to mimic a particular group of customer’s spending and purchasing patterns. Customers are more likely to respond to ads that relate to what they like… even if they don’t need it.
Reason #3: Location Specificity
No other form of retargeted advertising reaches customers who are in direct proximity of our brick and mortar store. Impulse is powerful. Think about those sweet treats that are strategically positioned at check-out counters in supermarkets. Often dubbed “impulse buys”, we are tempted to purchase these treats because they’re consistently in our field of vision. The same is true for retargeted ads. Walking into a mall and seeing an ad for a product you want feeds your temptation to head to the store selling that product. After all, it’s right there.
