Defining Geo-Fencing

Geo-fencing combines awareness of the user's
current location with awareness of nearby features,
defined as the user's proximity to locations that
may be of interest. To mark a location of interest,
you specify its latitude and longitude. To adjust the
proximity for the location, you add a radius. The
latitude, longitude, and radius define a geofence.
You can have multiple active geofences at one
time.

Creation to Evolution: Geo-Conquesting


Defining Geo-Conquesting

To successfully use unmanned drones (or mobile
digital devices) to target unsuspecting civilians
(or shoppers) entering enemy territory (your
competitors’ GeoFenced locations).

Ongridventures.com


Forms of Geo-Conquesting

Two Forms
•  Most popular form – target competitive location
with competitive advertisement
•  target behaviors and aim ads at people who
have gone to a certain set of locations in the
past that identify them as good for poaching


Research and Results
According to local mobile ad platform xAd, almost a third (32%) of
advertisers using the most sophisticated kinds of geotargeting
(usually more granular than ZIP, city or DMA) targeted the location
of their competition in order to drive consumers to engaging with
their alternative in Q2. This was up from 22% of campaign among
so-called “precision geotargeters” in Q1.

OutBack Steakhouse Case Study

The Outback Steakhouse is one business that’s experienced considerable
success with geo-conquesting. Recently, the popular restaurant used their
knowledge of their customers and the competition to their advantage. First,
the Outback set up geofences around competing restaurants in the area.
Then their marketing team developed a series of mobile advertisements and
ran them in apps that were popular with their target audience. When
mobile users crossed into the perimeters, the advertisements popped up on
their smartphones. Those who clicked through could make a reservation
with a few taps of the screen.

The results of their recent campaign were impressive. The Outback
locations that employed this geo-conquesting strategy saw an 11% click
through rate on landing page features such as viewing menus and locating
nearby restaurants. They attracted business by getting the attention of
potential customers who may have been on the way to eat at a competitor
location.

How to achieve a successful Geo-Conquesting
campaign
•  Deep understanding of both your customers’
behavior and your competition
•  Well-crafted market research campaign:
§  Footfall and psychographics of target location
§  Best Mobile campaign for smooth user
journey
§  Creative strategies to stay ahead of
competition


Creative Strategies
1. Test different targeting radiuses: The optimal targeting radius used for geoconquesting will vary by business and industry. As a result, test multiple distances in the
campaigns to determine the appropriate targeting fence for the locations.
2. Use location-aware creative: Location is central to geo-conquesting, so leverage this
unique feature to create the most relevant creative by telling the consumer how near
they are to your locations.
3. Use action-oriented creative: Coupons, promos, new products or limited-time offers
provide an extra incentive for a consumer to choose a brand over it's primary competitor.
4. Make conversion easy: The fewer barriers between a consumer and a business, the
more likely they are to come in the door. As a result, provide one-click access to things
such as phone number, location map or map and driving directions.
5. Track performance past the CTR: Secondary action rates are especially important in
geo-conquesting, as these consumers may need something extra to attract them from
going into a competitor's location. Understanding what they are looking for (directions,
menus, coupons) is key to the success of current and future campaigns.


Challenges
•  Welfare of Gamers/Players on route
•  Safety – Walking with phone on a busy street
•  Precaution- Anger amongst player could possibly create
fight in real life
•  Design Limitation on Google Maps
•  Lack of control over the world. Often enough players will
travel to highly dense and competitive areas or
conversely, to the middle of nowhere with nothing to
interact with. As a result, it is much more difficult to
balance gameplay and to define starter zones in these
games than in purely virtual worlds.

•  Using Google Maps, you can very easily add basic annotations and
overlays, as its nature is a routing app.You can also, using the
Styled Map Wizard, customize colors, visibility, etc. of a number of map
elements. Beyond these two basic features, you run into a brick wall as
you’re only allowed to access the data using public Google SDKs. Trying
to re-skin the ground using a grass texture? No can do.

•  Using OSM, the closest thing to an ofﬁcial provider is CloudMade. The
data is available as both image and vector tiles. The hard part is to get a
renderer up and running to your speciﬁcations, but once everything’s
working, you can style things however you like.


•  Google Places - Well maintained, but more restrictive terms
of use. Did you pick OSM for your map data provider? Too
bad – you can’t display Google places on a non-Google
map. Is your game not free-to-play? Also no good.

•  Foursquare – Their data is typically more exhaustive, but
user-generated content is user-generated content.You’ll
occasionally see results like “Awesome Party” and “Two
Girls and a Cat.”

•  Factual – Better data quality, but more expensive. Their free
cap is only 10,000 calls per day. With a game that allows
travel away from your current location, you could easily hit
this with a few hundred active users.
