A Guide to Geofencing with Ernesto Cullari and Barbara Wardell
Summary
Barbara Wardell and Ernesto Caleri, co-founders of Cullari & Wardell, discuss geofencing as an advertising technology and tactic that helps small businesses recover foot traffic. They explain that geofencing involves drawing virtual fences around competitor locations and sending targeted ads to potential customers when they enter those locations. They emphasize the importance of satellite-verified visits and the ability to track conversions online or in-store. They also discuss the democratization of geofencing, making it accessible to small businesses with smaller budgets. They highlight the success of geofencing in industries such as laundry, alcohol and beverage, and private aviation. They mention the importance of data location and behavior in targeting the right audience and the need to balance privacy and effective advertising. They also mention the future trend of a hybrid approach to commerce, integrating online and offline experiences, and the limitations of AI in creating human connections.
