What is Geofencing?
Geofencing is a location-based service in which an app or other software uses GPS, RFID, Wi-Fi, or cellular data to trigger a pre-programmed action when a mobile device or RFID tag enters or exits a virtual boundary set up around a geographical location, known as a geofence.
These boundaries can be as small as a store or as large as an entire city. When a device enters a geofenced area, it can prompt notifications, ads, or other forms of engagement, making it a powerful tool for digital marketing.
How Geofencing Works
- Setting Up the Geofence: Businesses define a geographical boundary around a location. This could be their store, a competitor’s store, or a specific area where their target audience frequently visits.
- Tracking Movement: When a customer with a location-enabled mobile device enters the geofenced area, the technology tracks their movement.
- Triggering Actions: The entry or exit from the geofence can trigger actions such as sending push notifications, alerts, ads, or messages to the customer’s device.
- Data Collection: Geo-fencing allows businesses to collect data on the movement and behaviors of their customers within the geofence, providing valuable insights for marketing strategies.
