In the ever-evolving landscape of political campaigns, digital directors, campaign managers, and candidates are constantly seeking innovative ways to engage voters and mobilize support. One such technology that has gained traction in recent years is geofencing, a location-based tool that holds immense potential beyond traditional voter engagement and get-out-the-vote (GOTV) efforts. In this blog post, we’ll dive into the world of geofencing and explore how it can be leveraged to target specific demographics and neighborhoods for fundraising, voter mobilization, issue advocacy, and expanding the electorate beyond your current voter file.

 

Understanding Geofencing and Geo-Harvesting

Geofencing utilizes GPS or RFID technology to create a virtual geographic boundary, triggering specific actions when a mobile device enters or leaves the designated area. Geo-harvesting, a similar concept, focuses on identifying mobile devices that have previously visited a location one or more times within the past year. By employing these technologies, political campaigns can target potential voters with tailored ads and messages, as well as build audiences of like-minded individuals who live near or frequent similar locations as known voters. The beauty of mobile device targeting lies in its flexibility – once your audience is created, you can serve ads to them anytime, anywhere.

 

Expanding the Electorate with Geofencing Marketing

Geofencing marketing serves as an ideal solution for political campaigns looking to expand their electorate. By targeting issue-based voters at specific locations such as rallies, churches, clinics, or university campuses, campaigns can reach potential voters who may not be included in their current voter file. The microtargeting nature of geofencing ensures that your message reaches the right people, maximizing the impact of your advertising spend. With geofencing and geo-harvesting, you can not only engage more potential new voters but also get more bang for your buck.
