Innovative deployment of mobile, local and geo-technologies drives in-store visits and tracks online-to-offline conversions
Simpli.fi, the company that brings the power of programmatic advertising to localized campaigns, and Rise Interactive, a digital marketing agency specializing in digital media, analytics and customer experience, are sharing the initial results of a hyper-local, mobile advertising campaign developed for BlueSoho on behalf of a national grocery store chain. Launching the campaign during this season’s NCAA March Madness tournament, the brand increased click-through-rates to more than 1.5 times the industry average, and drove more than 1,400 in-store visits.
With a focus on innovation, Rise Interactive was charged with designing a campaign to boost purchases of food and drinks at stores near select college campuses during college basketball’s biggest event. To achieve this goal, the agency partnered with Simpli.fi to target the right buyers at the right time through a combination of geo-location services combined with unstructured and recency data.
Key Highlights of the Campaign’s Success:
After understanding the grocery chain’s goals, Rise Interactive turned to Simpli.fi to help create a hyper-local, location-based, scalable campaign.
Leveraging BlueSoho’s creative, print and customer analytics with Simpli.fi’s targeting and optimization capabilities ensured campaign success.
Simpli.fi’s Geo-Fencing with Conversion Zones technologies were utilized to drive mobile performance and reach, while tracking online-to-offline conversions.
Rise accessed Simpli.fi’s massive unstructured data network and inter-device matching to increase data signals and scale campaigns without having to expand the geo-targeted location. The agency could easily track cost-per-visit and total visit rate for the mobile geo-fenced campaign, making it simple to identify the campaign’s value.
Advertisers using Simpli.fi’s location-based services are able to ensure precise tracking as they can ‘draw’ custom geo-shapes and track only those individuals that cross into those boundaries.
Simpli.fi shifted budget to deliver ads during certain days of the week with an increased budget for the Sweet Sixteen weekend and Final Four games.
By 2020 more than 72 percent of digital ad spend will be focused on mobile devices, according to a 2015 eMarketer study. Simpli.fi’s Geo-Fencing and Conversion Zones uses the company’s unstructured data capabilities to target locations more precisely than grid-based systems. The power of precise location targeting combined with accurate conversion attribution gives advertisers a way to capitalize on the opportunity mobile represents while measuring the effectiveness of their localized mobile campaigns.
