AUDIENCES

Social Distancing Audiences

When the desire to venture out (or how safe it is to do so) varies greatly from region to region, how can marketers reach the right consumer with the right message at scale?

Some of your customers are ready and able to come shop at your locations. Others have visitation habits indicating you’re better off directing them to your website to purchase. And, their visitation behaviors vary over time and by category. To help marketers optimize advertising investment and creative messaging impact, PlaceIQ has built programmatic audiences to help manage this complexity.

Strictly Isolating

Consumers staying in as much as possible, making minimal trips to essential commercial places

How to account for reemergence in your category

Through the lens of location intelligence, we’re monitoring the ongoing shifts across various categories – from the complex nature of auto, to the durability of fast food, to the regional fluctuations in entertainment. To create segments meaningful to each category, we used county-level data to create High, Medium and Low Activity Audiences for each. Using these audiences, marketers can filter campaign targeting to limit delivery to devices where category-level visitation meets your business objectives.

Segmentation based on visit duration allows you to understand if your customers are shopping in store, or seeking contactless options – and message accordingly. Use these audiences from PlaceIQ to reach relevant customers with a message that delivers on your campaign goals.

Five Guys’ visit duration reveals a completely reconfigured business. Visits <10 minutes have regressed somewhat, but they still dominate the share in a manner completely unlike its pre-COVID makeup.
