Geo Fencing Concept With Cell Phone for Convention & Visitors Bureaus and Tourism Boards to target Sports Event Organizers, Tournament Directors and NGBs

Geo-Fencing

Geo-Fencing is a virtual fence around a specific location serving ads to mobile device users inside that geo-fenced area. As an added layer of accuracy, Sports Destination Management validates the exactness of each ad’s placement by requesting the device location data before an impression is served. We build Geofences from location names, types, postcodes, designated market areas and businesses. (Think conferences, sports-specific shows and sports events!)


Geo Framing concept magnifying glass

Geo-Framing

What happens after your target audience leaves your Geo-Fenced area? Geo-Framing allows us to extend reach after an event to mobile users by using Geo-Fences built within the last 12 months. Geo-Framing utilizes previously captured mobile ID’s that entered the Geo-Fenced area then retargets their device. No matter where they are, we deliver relevant content when it matters most. (Think conferences, sports-specific shows and sports events – either current or occurred within the last 12 months!)

Geo-Targeting

Wouldn't you like to be in front of your target audience no matter where they are? Similar to Geo-Fencing, Geo-Targeting is a virtual fence around a specific location for an extended amount of time. This cross-device marketing campaign serves ads within the designated area not only to mobile users but desktop and laptop users as well. (Think about targeting specific sports industry organizations like NGBs and right’s holders!)


Re-targeting for websites concept Convention & Visitors Bureaus and Tourism Boards to target sports event organizers, tournament directors and NGBs that have previous been on their website

Re-Targeting

There are several ways to reach users through re-targeting depending on the data you’re leveraging. For example, if a user conducts a search engine query related to certified sites in your area, and they meet your desired demographic and behavioral profile, we can re-target them with a display ad. Likewise, if a user visits your website we will create an ad and reach them on other digital platforms across the web including social media sites. By targeting the visitors you already know, and who have already shown an interest in your area, you can create a more personalized and meaningful digital experience that converts visitors to prospects, and ultimately sports events!
