Account-Based Marketing: The Shiny New Object in Ad Tech
According to Ad Exchanger’s Industry Preview, native ads and header bidding are a few of the “shiny new objects” in the Ad Tech space this year....
Digital advertising is often overlooked in trade show and event marketing. The most common digital tactic involves setting up a geo-fence around the event and serving ads to people who are active on their mobile apps or mobile browsers at that location. While marketers see some success with this, the targeting pool tends to be relegated to a small percentage of an already-limited audience.
Matching a mobile strategy with other techniques, however, can have a major impact. Using geo-fencing as a single piece of a 3-step digital event marketing strategy can guarantee greater ROI.
We can use the example of targeting the 2017 Super Bowl as a way to demonstrate these techniques in action. First, a few facts we need to know:
We know the Stadium location we need to geo-fence, and we can expand that coverage to the surrounding area for support targeting. These areas include parking lots where people are tailgating, hotels where attendees are staying, and coffee shops where they might browse their devices. Here’s a quick look at the area, with these locations highlighted:
Next, with a known seating capacity, we know whether the size of our digital audience correlates to Super Bowl attendance and to the crowds in the surrounding venues. This is an important reference point during a campaign as you deliver impressions and determine what percentage of the audience has been reached successfully and responded. Every campaign should include a measurement component – and Event Targeting is no different.
With digital event targeting, onboarding these mobile devices to the various digital touchpoints they connect to – postal, email, CRM files, and location – gives advertisers the ability to pre-qualify an audience into segments they can personalize. Each follow-up campaign can then be segmented by geographic region or by appending hundreds of demographic variables, such as affluence or life style, to focus your reach and improve campaign return on investment.
