What is a geofencing marketing platform?
Geofencing uses GPS technology to create a virtual geographic boundary around a location, such as a retail store. A geofencing marketing platform employs a geofence to know when a potential customer is nearby. If a customer crosses the geofence boundary, this can trigger the geofencing marketing platform to send them a push notification offering particular deals. Using a geofencing marketing platform can increase footfall to your store and foster loyalty from existing customers. But which geofencing software is right for you?
