What is Geofencing?
Geofencing provides location-based data through an app or software program by using GPS, cellular data, or radio frequency identification (RFID) to set off a targeted marketing action to users in a designated area. These actions can include
emails, texts, social media ads, app notifications, etc. when a mobile device or RFID tag enters or exits a virtual geographic “fence” around a location -- hence the term “geofencing.”
Consumer location can be tracked through technology such as Bluetooth and GPS, and can be utilized to target consumers via geotargeting, geofencing, and beaconing.
