Radius Targeting

What is Radius Targeting? Radius targeting is an advertisement technique to target consumers when they are near a predefined location. Radius targeting is considered the most basic method of real-time location targeting known as geofencing, whereas a radius is placed around a place’s address, targeting mobile users within that radius. Radius targeting can be customized to any size down to .25-mile radius. However, since addresses were built to provide directions to the location, many times the physical location is across the parking lot or on the street. Depending on your goals, this could lead to wasted ad spend. Learn more about radius targeting at GroundTruth and discover the power of having location-based mobile advertising at your fingertips.

Proximity Targeting

What is Proximity Targeting? Proximity Targeting is a marketing technique that uses mobile location services to reach consumers in real-time when they are around a store location or point of interest. This is done by defining a radius around a specific location. If a consumer has opted into location services on their mobile phone and enters within this radius, proximity targeting allows you to trigger an advertisement or message to that consumers in an effort to influence their behavior. For example, if you are a restaurant and you want to target consumers within a 1 mile radius. You could set up proximity targeting around your restaurant so when consumers walk into that radius they will be triggered with an advertisement.
