WHAT IS GEOFENCING
Targeted GeoFence
Geofencing is the use of a virtual geographic boundary around the specific longitude and latitude of a particular location. Using a blended data aggregation technique we are able to continue the serving of ads to any particular device and smartphone even after they leave the geofenced area.
PROPERTY
MG Digital Direct’s Property Geo-Fencing brings our clients a powerful, efficient, and accurate new way to target specific households and businesses with digital advertising.
Property Geo-Fencing can be used both as a stand-alone tactic and to improve the results of direct mail campaigns and other marketing efforts that target specific households. By extending the reach, improving the frequency, and providing foot traffic attribution, Property Geo-Fencing makes all household targeting efforts more effective.
​
To use Property Geo-Fencing, we can upload up to 1 million street addresses into the MG Digital Direct property advertising platform. Those street addresses are then automatically converted into geo-fences that conform to the property lines of each address. Then, devices seen within those property lines are targeted with mobile, video, and/or OTT/CTV ads. Additional data targeting overlays can also be applied to further pinpoint your prospect.
BENEFITS
-
Highly precise. Targeting is based off of property line data from property tax and public land surveying information to maximize precision of addresses being targeted.
-
Highly scalable. Up to 1 million physical addresses can be targeted per campaign.

-
Audiences are updated on a daily basis.
​
HOW IT WORKS
-
Physical addresses which a client wants to target are uploaded into MG Digital Direct’s property platform.
-
The addresses are then matched against property line data to collect the exact physical location, size and shape of the individually matched addresses.
-
The system then geo-fences each matched address to collect and target users specific only to that distinct address location. If desired, desktop, laptop, and OTT/CTV devices are also targeted through MG Digital Direct’s cross device option.
-
Audiences at every single address are updated on a daily basis.
Within MG Digital Direct’s programmatic property platform, lists of addresses are easily onboarded, matched and scrubbed of any personally identifiable information so that there is no risk of breach in privacy

USE CASES
AUTOMOTIVE

By partnering with MG Digital Direct, the company could geo-fence each physical address that is on their lease renewal list and serve them digital ads promoting special offers.
