What is location based marketing?
Location based marketing is a strategy that uses a customer's geographic location to deliver personalized promotions, messages, and interactive campaigns. By targeting people when they're near or inside your business, you can deliver timely, relevant offers that boost engagement and sales. Modern mobile technology and platforms like Coupontools make it easier than ever to connect with customers where they are.
Why location matters in marketing
Location data helps businesses reach potential customers at the perfect moment—when they're nearby and ready to act. Imagine sending a digital coupon to someone as they walk past your cafe or triggering a spin wheel game when a loyal shopper enters your store. With digital coupons and location-based campaigns, you increase the likelihood of conversions and create moments of delight.
