How Geofencing Works

What is Geofencing Marketing for Apartments?

With over 90% of mobile users owning a smartphone with GPS tracking capabilities, location-based marketing has become more central to reaching always-connected prospects. Geofencing marketing is a location-based marketing strategy that displays relevant ads to visitors who walk into a geofence (a digital fence). Geofences can take the form of competitor properties, employers, neighborhood points of interest and even events!

 

Geofencing marketing for apartments is particularly effective, as properties are able to create demand for their property with captivating creative that shines bright in contrast to traditional apartment marketing.

Advantages of Adding Geofencing to your Apartment Marketing

It can be difficult to stand out in paid search and ILSs for apartments. Paid search ads bind you with character limits, and ILSs can dilute your properties’ unique amenities with templates. That is why geofencing for apartments is especially effective. ApartmentGeofencing.com allows your property to shine early in your prospect’s decision-making process with eye-catching creative.

 

Tantalize prospects with your amenities via animated banner ads and short, unskippable commercials viewable on streaming TV channels. With over three years of mobile location data, we help pinpoint feeder communities and anticipate the location of your current prospects to target them across all their devices.

 

Geofencing is also a great way to target employees from major local employers!

1. Set Up Custom Target Zones

Geofence the locations your customers frequent the most, in custom "target zones." From coffee shops to grocery stores, parking lots to train stations, major employers to local businesses, the geofencing possibilities are (almost) endless. Target zones for apartments can include competitor leasing centers or local garden-style or high-rise properties.

2. Target Prospects Through All Their Connected Devices

Once a prospect walks into a target zone with their GPS-equipped smartphone, their anonymous mobile ID is captured. Contacts are now eligible to receive eye-catching, action-oriented banner ads on their mobile phone. However, as they return home and connect their mobile device to their home network, they open a portal to all their other connected devices. Now, your property can continue creating demand by showcasing animated banner ads and unskippable 15-30 second commercials on streaming TV apps like Hulu and Sling TV. See prices here.

3. Measure Conversions

The best part? Your geofencing campaigns are totally trackable. With multiple awareness points available for your prospects to learn about your property, there are two conversion metrics we can measure: website conversions and walk-ins. To measure walk-ins, we set up a geofence around your property, also called a “conversion zone,” to be able to identify mobile IDs that came from your target zones. With advanced attribution, our clients are never left to wonder about the efficacy of their campaigns.
