Relevant

Local digital advertising lets you reach your target audience with unique targeting strategies and premium solutions. MediaMax has been a trusted partner for brands looking for critical exposure to their local markets since 2003.

In today’s digital landscape, it’s all about connection and community. Consumers want brands to know who they are before engagement begins. They want to feel as if your brand gets them. Localizing advertising campaigns lets your brand send creative messaging to highly targeted audiences. WIth local digital ads, you enjoy a higher return on investment compared to national advertising alone.

Engaging

To reach a local audience, you need to know where that audience is. Geotargeting and geofencing uses user location data to connect to consumers in a particular geographic area. MediaMax uses geotargeting when developing strategic media campaigns, driving more authentic engagement and boosting relevancy.

Geofencing is another local advertising technique. It lets you connect with consumers who are within a defined geographic area, known as a fence. Once a person steps over the “fence” and into the boundary area, they receive a notification on their phone.

Benefits of Local Advertising.

Local Print Ads Benefits

It’s ideal for reaching people at the top of the funnel – When a person flips through a magazine, they might not be looking specifically for information about your brand. But repeatedly seeing your advertisement in the pages of their favorite magazine increases their awareness of you.

It’s engaging – Print media is a high-contact, engaging experience. People don’t just scroll mindlessly through the pages of a magazine. They flip, taking in the images and content on each page.

It’s effective – People have been saying that print is dead or nearly dead for years now. Yet, it lingers. Why? Because it’s an enjoyable experience for consumers and an effective marketing tool for advertisers.

FAQs: Local Ads.

Geotargeting directs ads to consumers who are within a particular radius of the company. For example, a restaurant might display ads to people who are within a five-block radius of the restaurant’s location and who search for nearby restaurants. It reaches people when they are most likely to take action, such as when they’re hungry and within walking or driving distance.

While geotargeting and geofencing are both examples of local advertising techniques, they aren’t the same. The best way to understand the difference between the two is to recognize that geofencing is a type of geotargeting.

Geotargeting is much broader than geofencing. It can use customer’s GPS and mobile phone location data, but it also reaches a local audience through the following:

  • Local print media
  • Email marketing campaigns
  • Targeted text messages
  • Local search results
  • Custom landing pages

Local ads are marketing messages targeted to a specific geographic area. Using local advertising lets you target consumers based on where they are. Reaching consumers where they are leads to greater return on investment and better connections.
