Location Based SMS (LBS) is all about delivering the right message to the right people in the perfect place and at the perfect time for the micro-moment. LBS comes into play to target the mobile users within a certain geographic area to increase effectiveness and reduce SMS waste.
This geographic area is called a ‘geofence’ and SMSes are served only within that area. Once the pin codes are determined and the radius around those pin codes are determined – location based SMS can be easily sent.
Geo-Fencing is a fence defining parameter around a certain geographic point. When geo-fencing is deployed it activates triggers when customers or their smart devices enter this boundary or fenced area.
Geo-Conquesting is the use of a geo-fence to draw customers away from competition. This means that instead of geo-fencing around one’s own store the business geo-fences around a competition store and uses it to drag potential customers to its own store.
The more targeted an ad campaign is, the more effective it will be – location based marketing is therefore very effective. SMS marketing is the most personal and direct form of communication to reach out to the customers.
