Introduction
Traditionally, marketing has been about knowing where consumers are and what they need. However, with current technology, the knowledge of location can serve a much deeper purpose than mere identification of consumer locations.
As people move through different neighborhoods and physical environments- shops, malls, offices, and events- as well as virtual environments, businesses have plenty of opportunities to understand where consumers are most likely to interact.
Location Intelligence is a powerful tool that helps organizations create campaigns tailored specifically to certain locations, audiences, and moments by using location-related data together with marketing and behavior information.
In this blog, we will discuss how Location Intelligence is transforming marketing and how businesses can benefit from its usage.
What Is Location Intelligence?
Location intelligence entails analyzing location information to make sense of individuals, locations, markets, and patterns of activities.
In marketing, location intelligence can enable organizations to know where their audiences are, where they can capture more customers, how individuals behave at different physical locations, and where marketing can have more significance.
Location intelligence may involve the integration of various technologies, including geofencing, mapping, digital marketing, and location-based targeting.
However, location intelligence does not only entail knowing the location of individuals, but its usefulness lies in its ability to enhance marketing decision-making through location.
Why Does Location Matter in Today’s Marketing?
People interact with brands not only through the digital world.
An individual may find out about a certain brand on the Internet, go to a local store, see an outdoor ad, check out the brand using his or her smartphone, and buy something.
Location can help to link some of those digital and real-world interactions.
From the marketer’s perspective, that makes it possible to tailor messages depending on where a customer is at that moment. Rather than sending the same message to the whole city, companies can organize campaigns related to particular neighborhoods, stores, business districts, events, or locations.
It means that location becomes more and more important for marketing.
From Broad Campaign Targeting to Location-Based Precision
Traditional advertising campaigns usually aim to reach big groups of audiences based on demographic details, interests, or even geographic regions.
Location intelligence can take campaigns to the next level by adding more precision.
For instance, a retailer can run campaigns that cover only areas near their stores. If a brand launches a new product at some event, it can target audiences near the event location. Also, a business can identify locations where the interaction with its service or product is expected from potential customers.
Geofencing is an example of this strategy. Doodlezz uses geofencing to establish virtual borders around locations like stores, malls, campuses, and neighborhoods so that campaigns can target audiences within certain geographic areas.
How Businesses Can Benefit From Location Intelligence Getting a Message to Their Customers in Relation to a Certain Location
Businesses can use location-based marketing campaigns to communicate their message to the audience if the location is relevant.
For example, a retail brand can send messages about its nearby store or promotions to the audience in a certain geographic area. Similarly, brands participating in some event can use location-based campaigns to get messages to audiences around the event location.
Not only does it relate to reaching the right audience, but it also helps to get the communication related to the location of the audience.
How Behaviour of Their Audience Relates To the Location
Location intelligence will also help marketers to understand how the behaviour of their target audiences relates to certain locations.
The marketers can use information regarding the number of visits, dwell time, and popular spots to understand the behaviour of the audiences. According to Doodlezz, geofencing can provide marketers with information about visits, dwell time, popular spots, and consumer preferences for marketing campaigns.
This knowledge will help marketers to make more informed decisions.
Making Connections Between Online Marketing And Offline Actions
The full-funnel approach requires understanding of how customers behave in different phases.
It is possible to connect data from websites, advertising platforms, CRM systems, social media, messaging apps, and other customer touchpoints to get a better idea about the process.
Such knowledge may help answer the following questions:
Interesting Facts
Place can lend relevance to a marketing message, and the same offer can be highly relevant in some locations but completely irrelevant in others.
For instance, a promotional message for a restaurant is more relevant to customers closer to that restaurant, while promotional messages from a retail establishment are more relevant to customers who are closer to the store.
Location Intelligence & Hyperlocal Marketing
Location intelligence is especially useful in the context of hyperlocal marketing since the goal here is to target audiences at a very granular geographic level.
At Doodlezz, we use location intelligence in our hyperlocal marketing services in the form of geofencing, Google hyperlocal marketing, social media targeting, WhatsApp/SMS/RCS, RailTel WiFi, and DOOH marketing campaigns to create marketing campaigns based on neighborhoods and localities.
Creating Location Intelligence That Can Be Actioned
The mere possession of location information is not enough for businesses to create an effective marketing strategy.
It's critical for them to link this knowledge to goals and determine which audiences are relevant, which locations make sense, what message should be delivered, and how campaigns' success will be evaluated.
And here is where analytics comes into play.
Doodlezz provides its geofencing services along with real-time campaign monitoring, optimization, data analysis, and reporting, including insights on engagement and conversions.
When location intelligence is linked to creative, media, and analytics, businesses can start moving from just understanding locations to making marketing decisions based on location intelligence.
What Marketers Should Consider
Location-based marketing needs to be relevant and responsible.
Businesses should take into account the quality and relevance of the location information that they have, audience expectations, frequency of communications, and contextual aspects of messages.
The main point is not to target customers just because location information is at hand, but to make this information provide some context to the customer experience.
A good location strategy should provide an answer to the simple question: why is this message relevant to this audience in this particular place?
Conclusion
Location intelligence is transforming the way businesses view target audience selection. Rather than merely viewing geography as one of the most basic demographic attributes, location can provide valuable context when targeting an audience and planning their campaigns accordingly.
Whether through geofencing, hyperlocal advertising, or even localised social media, messaging, or DOOH campaigns, location allows digital marketing to be integrated into the actual customer experience.
For Doodlezz, location intelligence is but one element in a complete hyperlocal marketing strategy, including accurate targeting, relevance to the local environment, creative communications, and campaign analysis. With its capabilities in geofencing, hyperlocal Google and social advertising, messaging, RailTel WiFi, and DOOH, Doodlezz enables brands to reach audiences using location-based intelligence.
The right message matters. But sometimes, so does the right place.
