Restaurant Eats Up 300% Increase In Foot Traffic From Hotels

CHALLENGE

A local pub in Canada was tired of the past marketing strategies they implemented.  They utilized social media, direct media and even billboard advertising.  As a 20 year old restaurant, the company became a stable in the area, but tourists and locals are always looking for new spots and options to choose from.

The restaurant had great food, beer specials and even morning breakfast options.  They just needed to remind people about how great the experience was.  So they decided to utilize a new form of advertising called geo fencing marketing.

SOLUTION

The client wanted to target 10 – 15 local hotels and tourist areas that was within walking distance from the restaurant.  So our team created a highly targeted geo fencing plan that included some site retargeting.

We also placed a conversion zone around the client’s restaurant so we could measure foot traffic back to their location.  So to say the least, we all didn’t expect the results after just 5 days of advertising.

RESULTS

Over the course of 5 days, the campaign drove over 70 restaurants visitors from the tourist areas and hotels at an average cost per visit of $5.00.  In addition, our team was able to compare the restaurant’s natural foot traffic from those same areas (those people who never saw their ads) to the campaign foot traffic (the people who saw their ads and came to their restaurant).

In that time the client also experienced a 300% increase in foot traffic from those geo fenced locations.

Auto Dealership Drives In-Person Visits Through Geo-Fencing with Conversion Zones

CHALLENGE

An auto dealership was looking to increase brand awareness and bring prospective buyers into their location. They enlisted the help of our team to utilize geo fencing technology to more precisely target their audience, improve their overall advertising performance and track conversions. The dealership also wanted to track Cost Per Visit (CPV), defined as the total campaign spend divided by the number of users who were delivered an ad and then visited the dealership in-person.

SOLUTION

Our team developed a comprehensive strategy of geo fencing with conversion zones to target relevant local users, drive up CTR and increase conversions. The first step was to build geo fences around heavy traffic areas with high concentrations of users in the target market identified by the advertiser. Our team then setup a conversion zone around the advertiser’s dealership to measure conversions. Before and after campaign launch our team made optimizations to improve performance. These included adjusting day parting and pacing to ensure the campaign was live during peak performance hours and also implementing creative pacing to spend more aggressively on the top performing creatives.

RESULTS

To date, our team has been able to exceed the initial campaign goal with a strong CTR of 0.17% and deliver a CPV of $20. Through the use of our team’s conversion zone tool the advertiser has also been able to measure the exact number of conversions originating from each individual geo fence. As the campaign continues, our team will continue to make optimizations to improve performance.

Restaurant Chain Wins Low-Cost Conversions & Geo Fencing

CHALLENGE

A regional restaurant chain was looking to build brand awareness and drive foot traffic to the location at a low CPA. They were unable to find a vendor who could reach the target market and keep the CPA at or below $20. They enlisted the help of our team to utilize geo fencing technology in order to more precisely target their audience, track conversions and improve their overall advertising performance.

SOLUTION

The advertiser identified their restaurants for which they wanted to increase visits and sales as well as their top ten competitor locations. Our team then developed a comprehensive strategy of geo fencing with conversion zones to target those competitors within a ten mile radius and then measure conversions to their restaurants. The campaign also featured search retargeting at the keyword level, category contextual targeting and site retargeting. Additionally, the team was also able to further optimize keywords and blacklist certain domains to decrease CPA and extend reach to the target audience.

RESULTS

Our team was able to deliver a low CPA of $4.95, which far exceeded the advertiser’s goal of $20 CPA. With our team’s conversion zone tool, the advertiser was also able to track their total visit rate (TVR) which showed the percentage of people who were served an ad and came to the store, and Cost Per Visit (CPV), which denoted the amount of advertising spend per person who came to the store.
