VERVE METRO LEVEL COMPETITORS
The VLS parses every impression and derives the best available location data whether shared
by the user, device or carrier network or from inventory that has an endemic connection to the
targeted location (e.g. traffic / weather / news)
9. Location Targeting Defined
Geo-Fence: The process of defining a specific physical
location (e.g. store) and determining a fixed radius (i.e
“fence”) around the location for targeting purposes. A
consumer inside this area would be served an
advertisement, while a consumer outside this area would not.
Geo-Aware: The process of determining a consumer’s
location relative to a physical point or points of interest (e.g.
store location), allowing the advertiser to recommend certain
actions based on the consumer’s relative position.
10. Location-Based Targeting
Within a single campaign, executions may vary based on the quality
of the location data
ACCURACY: BLOCK LEVEL
ACCURACY: METRO LEVEL
EXECUTION: GEO-FENCE
EXECUTION: GEO-AWARE
If Verve Location Service (VLS) receives block-level data (lat/long &WiFi), we can provide dynamic
messaging within geo-fenced campaigns that can display more precise location messaging.
If VLS only receives metro-level data (carrier IP), the dynamic messaging will display all locations, to cover
a broader area via a geo-aware campaign.
15. Best Practices: Location Targeting
1. Not all location data is created equal
1. Set an appropriate radius based on store density
1. Know when to use Geo-Aware vs Geo-Fencing
1. Leverage Geo-Aware to augment and refine Geo-Fencing
1. Limit use of additional targeting variables when applying
location targeting, run multilevel plan instead
1. Audience clusters are only as good as your location data
Lat/Long: The most accurate location data derived from the device GPS/ GPRS. User opt-in is required (e.g. LBS) and can be extended or session limited in duration.Wi-Fi: IP derived from users connected to the internet via a wi-fi “hotspot” that typically ties back to a physical location. Zip Code: User declared variable typically submitted during a registration process or session based request.Location-Based Content: User inferred location based on content.Carrier IP: Location derived from users connecting to the Internet from non-Wi-Fi networks (i.e. cell tower to IP backhaul).
Results:Overall, CTR is strongest for the e-Circular, at 0.96%Spike seen for Black Friday and Cyber Monday datesCTR highest on Friday and Saturday among all carriersFor dynamic ads performance peaked on Tuesday and Wednesday
