Hotel Property Targets Travelers With Programmatic Display

The Challenge

A hotel property in a popular tourist destination city was looking to increase awareness among their relevant audience and drive up their programmatic advertising performance. They also wanted to focus on supporting their restaurant and dining locations at their hotel and resort as it was lacking in brand awareness and walk-in traffic due to the competition in the area. They enlisted the help of our team to precisely target consumers interested in travel to their location.

The Solution We Implemented

Travel is a very unique area. Given the high competition and number of options available for travelers, we had to implemented a very defined strategy for each tactic because we had 2 objectives: improve brand awareness and target travelers who could show interest in their hotel; and secondly drive restaurant/dining traffic to local travelers.

Our team developed a comprehensive strategy of search retargeting at the keyword level, site retargeting and mobile geo-optimization.

Keyword Contextual/Search Retargeting: Instead of targeting an entire country, we focused on keyword contextual and search retargeting based keywords for people looking for hotels in the key city. So hotels in miami was a sample keyword we leveraged knowing we were getting our ads in front of those individuals expressing interest in hotel properties in miami.
Site Retargeting: We decided to tap into multiple DSP’s (not only 1), in order to expand our site retargeting efforts. This gave us even more air cover and further supported their Google Ads, Facebook Ads, and other omnichannel advertising efforts.
Geofencing Marketing: We were quick to explain to the client that using this tactic to attract travelers to the hotel would not be wise because there were not great practices in identifying people around the country based on their physical activities that would tell us they are firmly interested in booking travel. That’s where search and keyword contextual came in. Instead, we used geofencing to impact their restaurant and dining options that were available. We geofenced nearby restaurant competitors, other competitors hotels, and local beaches. We served creative ads that were promotional in nature and got people thinking about other local dining options at the hotel.

With quick learning from the campaign launch, our team and our multivariate algorithms optimized keywords, blacklisted specific domains to more precisely target customers, and adjusted the frequency cap and pacing to maximize budget. We also shifted budget to higher performing areas and swapped creative to keep the advertisements relevant through changing seasons.

The Results

Through multiple tactics and optimizations, our team achieved a CTR of .33%, more than tripling the client’s goal of reaching the industry average CTR of .08 – .1%. In addition, we leveraged conversion zone tracking to measure those who saw the geofencing marketing ads and then came to the hotel to dine or other reasons. Over the course of 3 months, we measured over 198 walk-in conversions. Of that, 11 people clicked on the ads and the rest saw the ads and came to the hotel, letting our team know there was strong influence from the geofencing marketing campaign.

Apartment Complex Converts With Geofencing

The Challenge

An apartment complex for senior citizens was looking to advertise a rent-free promotion and drive inquiries from potential new residents. They enlisted the help of our team to utilize new geo-fencing technology and several other tactics to more accurately reach their target audience and drive visits to their website and physical location.

The Strategy & What We Implemented

We knew we had an opportunity to reach the target audience with programmatic display solutions. So we focused on the follow digital tactics:

Geofencing Marketing – The advertiser identified the key locations to reach their target audience and our team built geo-fences around those sites.
Site Retargeting – The campaign also featured search retargeting at the keyword level and category contextual targeting to reach users interested in senior living.
Keyword Contextual/Search Retargeting – We leveraged a number of popular keywords such a 50 plus apartments, senior apartment living, etc.. in order to ensure we reached our target audience.
Conversion Zone Tracking – Additionally, the client decided mid-flight to implement a geo-fence conversion zone around the apartment complex in order to measure the number of individuals who were delivered an ad and then visited the complex. Our team and our multivariate algorithms worked to continually optimize the campaign mid-flight by optimizing keywords, category contextual elements and more.

Results

Over the month-long campaign, our team delivered a .41% CTR, more than quadrupling the industry average CTR of .08-.1%. With our team’s Conversion Zone tool, the advertiser was also able to track 109 geo-fence conversions at a CPA of $4.51.

Cannabis CBD Company Grows Their Market Share With Geofencing Marketing

The Challenge For Cannabis CBD Marketing

Cannabis and CBD companies are popping up around the country. And despite the growth and the legalization of cannabis, several advertising outlets such as Google, Facebook/IG, and YouTube still don’t allow for the advertising of such substances. Thus, this forces cannabis marketing to be relegated to billboards, print, and occasionally some digital platforms that do allow it.

Given the limited opportunities to cannabis advertising in a digital world, several programmatic display platforms are allowing cannabis advertisers to reach audiences online. Facebook/IG has recently allowed it in a limited capacity the chance to advertise both hemp and CBD….but not cannabis yet.

With the existing limitations, an Ohio based cannabis company reached out to Propellant Media inquiring about our cannabis geofencing advertising capabilities. We then created a full funnel programmatic strategy to reach those either in-market or fits the mold of a cannabis consumer for medical use.

- Cannabis
- CBD

This showed both intent from the campaigns and overall progress made in cannabis consumers who wanted to buy direct from the brand.

Large Hospital System Fills Up Nursing Positions With Geofencing Marketing & OTT Advertising

The Challenge For Medical Marketing Recruitment

A large hospital system on the west coast was looking to recruit more nurses including CNA’s, Traveling Nurses, and RN’s. They haven’t ran Over The Top Connected TV Advertising or Geofencing Marketing in the past. Given the stiff competition for nursing candidates, they realized they needed to both build their own brand recognition amongst nurses while also focusing on those who are in-market looking for nursing positions.

They have utilized other platforms including Zip Recruiter, Indeed, and other channels they thought would give them exposure to existing nurses who may be interested in switching to their company.

After hearing about geofencing marketing, they didn’t know if it could in fact be successful, but wanted it to remain part of their omnichannel marketing efforts. We deployed geofencing marketing, programmatic audio, site retargeting, Google Ads, and a new tactic with Facebook/Instagram advertising in which we took our geofencing audience and pushed that audience into the Facebook Instagram Platform.

Marketing Mix For Nursing Recruitment Campaign

The team at Propellant Media developed a comprehensive 12-month strategy of geofencing, data targeting (nursing audiences), site retargeting, google ads, pre roll video, OTT/CTV Advertising, and facebook/instagram advertising.

Geofencing Marketing – Our team built geo-fences around competitor hospitals.

We found additional ways to limit waste and prevent less ad serving to the patients.

Pre Roll Video – Despite utilizing static display ads, we also deployed pre roll video with a nice testimonial video of one of the workers who’s been with the company for over 1 year further solidifying social proof and and adding another layer of creative ads to the mix.
OTT/CTV Advertising – Utilizing the same video ad types, we were able to gain exposure via streaming apps and websites with 15 and 30 second ad spots.

How A MedSpa Leveraged Facebook Geofencing Ads To Achieve A $15 Cost Per Conversion

The Challenge

A local medspa in Los Angeles, CA as you can imagine deals with a ton of competition. There are more medspas in LA than any other city in the United States. They were rejected by Google Ads meaning they can’t use Google to advertise their medspa. They have had some moderate success with Facebook & Instagram advertising. But those were the core digital advertising tactics they used to gain exposure and drive traffic to their healthcare medspa.

After engaging with another agency that is partnered with Propellant Media to bring geofencing marketing to their brand, we were up to the challenge to see how our platform could target people most likely to express interest in medspa related services such as lip injections, laser fat removal, and other similar services.

As we continued to consult with the client, we learned they were doing some Facebook Instagram advertising with moderate success. Given our proprietary system of taking our geofencing audiences and pushing them into their Facebook Ads Manager, they also allowed our team to test this new system on their practice.

Solution

After conducting a discovery meeting with the agency partner, the team at Propellant Media developed a comprehensive strategy of geofencing, site retargeting, and Facebook/Instagram geofencing to drive performance for the Medspa

Geofencing Marketing – Our team built geo-fences around 13 competitor medspa’s in the area. We also hit other shopping locations where we felt our core demographic frequented, but we still focused the bulk of the budget to the 13 competitor rejuvenation medspa’s.
Site Retargeting – In order to maximize our brand recall and those who visited the website, we developed a site retargeting campaign with a frequency of 8 ads served per day per person to keep them top of mind, not just to our campaigns but to other digital advertising efforts they were deploying including Google Ads and Facebook/Instagram advertising.
Facebook/Instagram Geofencing – Utilizing the same geofencing audience we were serving ads to via our programmatic ad exchanges, we utilize our proprietary method of pushing that audience to Facebooks & Instagram. Overall, the process encompassed:
- Ensuring the client had a Facebook pixel on their website
- Our team having access to their existing Facebook Ads manager
- Our team having access to their Facebook Page

This enabled us to ensure we could build the impression based audience in our programmatic geofencing platform and utilize that same audience in Facebook and Instagram. To be clear, this is not simply a list of people who clicked on the clients ads. This is an audience of people who were served an impression via our programmatic ad exchanges and serve that same audience on Facebook/Instagram.

Results

This medpa has experienced great results in a short period of time totaling 3 weeks. Our team delivered 116,000 million impressions, 1200 clicks, but most importantly, 8 geo-fence conversions, measuring the number of users came to their location after seeing an ad.

Given the competitive nature of the roofing space, these roofing companies needed a strategy that provided a full funnel effect beyond the traditional google ads.

Solution

For the roofing companies, all marketing for the efforts start, first, by utilizing a “heat map” that identifies market areas hit hardest with the most damage from a storm. This map triggers the entire marketing process whereby the roofing companies deploy boots on the ground to the neighborhoods most affected including door knocking, door hanger/brochures, direct mail specific to these addresses, etc.

In turn, we utilize an ongoing geofencing for roofing companies and addressable geofencing approach in which we are essentially tracking along the movements of the active “boots on the ground.” Addressable Geofencing allows us to engage the same homeowners that live in the neighborhoods of interest. The difference is that addressable geofencing allows us to “prime the pump” so that when the door knockers connect with a resident, that person has likely seen the brand, recognizes the name and is aware of the opportunities for free estimates, repair / replacement services, etc. By using AGF, the roofing companies provide updates nearly weekly so that we are in lock-step with their sales personnel and the specific neighborhoods that they are working.

Additionally, after the sales personnel have left the area, our repetition of engagement on all of the residents’ devices continues for about 30 days so that effected residents can make sensible decisions about getting their roof repaired, etc. We also couple this approach with Site Retargeting-VIDEO for added “punch.” Below are the full effect of targeting we deployed:

Site Retargeting– Given the challenges in leveraging site retargeting on the Google Display network, and the importance of retargeting people who visited their website, we deployed a site retargeting strategy encompassing 5% of the overall marketing budget. Thus making all of their marketing work smarter.
Keyword Contextual/Search– After consulting with the client on their core keywords (roofing companies, roof replacement, commercial roof repair), we deployed a keyword strategy targeting people who researched many of these terms through the internet.
Geofencing Marketing – We deployed a geofencing strategy reaching neighborhoods where they did some prior work in.
Addressable Geofencing (Audience Curation) – Using our audience curation tool, we targeted people who owned homes over 30 years of age as well as locations with heavy hail storm damage.

With quick learning from the campaign launch, our team and multivariate algorithms optimized keywords and blacklisted specific domains to more precisely target consumers.

Geofencing Marketing Brings Huge Lift In Leads & Air Cover To Roofing Sales Team

In addition to the success of their Google Ads campaigns, we continued with our programmatic strategy to achieve a click through rate above average at 0.19% for static banner ads (90% above industry average) and 0.12% compared to the average 0.10%. But more importantly, we drove 1,000 clicks and well over 15 conversions. If you value the cost of a roof at $15,000 – $25,000, the marketing had a significant impact on new business. The sales reps had an easier time selling more roofing jobs, and the branding and name presence of the roofers expanded in the area. They continue to deploy a holistic marketing strategy to ensure they’re expanding their top of funnel reach, middle of funnel intent, and lower funnel lead flow to the practice.

HVAC Repair Company Leverages Geofencing & Programmatic Display To Drive Leads

The Challenge

A white label partner who handles other marketing efforts for their HVAC Repair client did not have geofencing and programmatic display as part of their arsenal of digital marketing solutions as part at their digital agency. HVAC Repair is a competitive space and Google Ads doesn’t cut it despite the success it brings brands at the lower end of the marketing funnel. They wanted a middle to top of funnel solutions to raise their name profile and impact their Google Ads strategy with increased branded searches.

Given our experience working with HVAC Repair companies and our white label partner program, they came to us in an effort to bring this unique form of digital marketing to their client.

Solution

HVAC Repair companies mostly care about getting leads NOW. People who typically reach out to HVAC companies call when they have a problem.

Site Retargeting– Given the challenges in leveraging site retargeting on the Google Display network, and the importance of retargeting people who visited their website, we deployed a site retargeting strategy encompassing 5 – 10% of the overall marketing budget. Thus making all of their marketing work smarter.
Keyword Contextual/Search– After consulting with the client on their core keywords (ac repair, hvac repair, heating repair, hvac replacement), we deployed a keyword strategy targeting people who researched many of these terms through the internet.
Geofencing Marketing – We deployed a unique geofencing strategy targeting neighborhoods the HVAC Repair did some resent work in. We would leverage creative saying “We Just Fixed An HVAC Unit With Your Neighbor. Get 10% Off To Service Yours.” In addition, we targeted homes over 20 years of age with older units.

With quick learning from campaign launch, our team and multivariate algorithms optimized keywords and blacklisted specific domains to more precisely target consumers.
