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, Trade & Industry Development 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, industry trade shows or business fairs!)

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, industry trade shows or business fairs – either current or within the last 12 months!)

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 corporate headquarters, colleges/universities, or military bases!)


Re-targeting for websites concept economic developments to target site selectors, c-level executives and commercial real estate agents 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 projects!
