Location-based Marketing

What is location-based marketing?

Location based marketing (LBM) is a strategy where customer’s location attributes like position or movement on the map are analysed for segmentation and targeting purposes.

How does location based marketing work?

By accessing the location signals from mobile devices like smartphones, marketers are able to pinpoint when certain customers are approaching their physical stores. With automated technology, e.g. marketing messages can be set up to reach the customers when their distance to the physical store is optimal.

Who uses location based marketing?

Any organisation with a physical location can gain from location based marketing (LBM). From brands like Coca-Cola deciding where to place their next generation of vending machines to restaurants hooking their customers in for a dinner after work - the use of location analytics has no limits in marketing.
