Top 5 Infographics of the Week: Location-Based Marketing Through Geofencing

What is geo-marketing? Put simply, geo-marketing is the integration of geographical intelligence into various aspects of marketing, sales, and distribution. In other words, it is the use of geolocation (geographic location) in the process of planning and implementing marketing activities.

Location-based marketing is seen every day, from ads on Google to "shop alerts" when to step inside a specific store's range. In fact the opportunities for marketing through geofencing are huge, and they continue to grow as time goes on.
