For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In <strong>India<\/strong>, some states like Gujarat and Maharashtra restrict online gaming &amp; sports advertisements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In <strong>Brazil<\/strong>, certain cities, especially in the southern regions, are less tolerant of iGaming.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the <strong>U.S.<\/strong>, laws vary between states, with some states (e.g., Utah and Hawaii) banning online gaming ads.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With location data, affiliates and operators exclude restricted areas, sending their budgets to states where ads are both legal and effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading content-title\"><strong>2. E-Commerce, VPN, Utility campaigns<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>E-commerce businesses often see varying performance across regions. For instance, a clothing retailer (physical store) might find higher conversion rates in urban areas compared to rural locations. Mobile apps (e-shops) can prioritize regions and cities where they mark a higher purchasing power. This ensures a better return on investment.<br><br>Mobile VPN apps can deliver their promotions based on a user\u2019s location; for instance, they offer secured browsing in regions where they spotlight increased demand. With the OS filter for mobile devices, such activities become even more ROI-boosting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading content-title\"><strong>3. Localized promotions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Online marketplaces like Lazada, Zalora, Shopee, or TEMU often launch seasonal and holiday sales. They need to target existing customers in various areas mainly because special offers, product choices, and bonuses vary from one city to another. With colossal ad budgets, they can&#8217;t do without more precise targeting. Including a customer&#8217;s location is the only way to show relevant offers.<br><br>A location-based marketing strategy may also require ad creatives&#8217; and landing pages&#8217; translation into several languages within one country. Targeted ads will reach only the required user segments.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"ads-post-btn-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/beta.partners.adsterra.com\/signup\/\" class=\"ads-post-btn\" style=\"background-color:#CE0000;font-size:14px\" target=\"_blank\">ENHANCE TARGETING<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading content-title\"><strong>Key advantages of location-based marketing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading content-title\"><strong>1. Enhance accuracy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can ensure more personalized messaging by narrowing down your audience to specific locations. Moreover, you connect to those who anticipate your offer the most. This increases the likelihood of conversions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading content-title\"><strong>2. Exclude undesirable regions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all regions within one geo perform equally highly. You can show ads only in regions or cities where there\u2019s a demand for your services. It\u2019s specifically effective in localized promotions, which we discussed before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading content-title\"><strong>3. Optimize ad spend<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You allocate your budget more efficiently when targeting regions with a higher marketing output. The same is true for time range targeting, or, for instance, when you advertise to various mobile device OS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading content-title\"><strong>4. Comply with regulations and behavior patterns<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Location-based advertising makes it easier to comply with local regulations. Platforms like Adsterra, Google Ads, and Meta make it possible to run promotions within the country, avoiding sensitive audiences. Such technology doesn\u2019t entail privacy concerns for advertisers, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading content-title\"><strong>5. Gain insights<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By analyzing the user\u2019s location, you can understand customer behavior, tracking clicks, CTR, conversions, CPM, and ad spending. Location data collection enables higher analytics transparency: you can set more precise KPIs and test hypotheses with more confidence in the outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading content-title\"><strong>Best practices of location based advertising <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To make the most of this feature, follow these best practices for effective location based marketing strategies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Analyze regional performance.<\/strong> Before setting up your next campaign, review location data to identify high-performing regions and cities on Adsterra. In your Statistics tab, you can compare your ad spend and conversion rates between the selected regions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A\/B test locations.<\/strong> Experiment with different location settings to mark regions with the best results. Use multiple campaigns to enable this option: you can either create several campaigns that target consumers of different regions or copy one of them and change settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stay updated with regulations.<\/strong> For industries like iGaming and Sports, ensure you\u2019re aware of the latest regulations in your target regions. Subscribe to updates on igamingbusiness.com or other trustworthy source. Or, take a look at Adsterra&#8217;s expert definitive guide to the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogdev.adsterratech.com\/blog\/igaming-regulations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">legal aspects of running iGaming ads<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Download quality whitelists.<\/strong> The location technology powers you to collect more quality whitelists.<br><em>Example: Earlier, a mobile shopping app would target mobile devices with Android OS in Brazil. Combining location data with specific regions or cities allows target users who have a higher purchase potential.  So, your whitelists will contain traffic sources that can deliver you such audiences.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use location based marketing only when needed.<\/strong> Any tools are just tools, and you&#8217;re the master. Therefore, the most accurate way is to make sure this or that feature is required. <em>Example: there&#8217;s no need to narrow down targeting if your ad offers are not restricted within this country and you haven&#8217;t tested the traffic within this geo. The wisest strategy will be to run a test campaign with wide targeting settings.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading content-title\"><strong>Ad formats to attract customers in location based marketing campaigns<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s no leading ad format here, but we always recommend starting out with Popunders or Push Notifications.

Social Bar comes next with its 9.9 billion ad impressions. We usually advise beginning with Pops and scaling with Social Bar ads. The latter provides 20+ auto-templates, including ultra-trending Interstitial advertising units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading content-title\"><strong>Location based marketing in ad creatives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While our feature aims to target accuracy and cost-saving, you also need to adjust messages and visuals to match the local segments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Localized prelanders<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Personalize your prelanders by mentioning the city in which you target users.

What are the types of location-based advertising?<\/h3><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Geo-targeting marketing has been around for several years. It&#8217;s used both online and offline. So, there are at least two main types of location based advertising:<br\/><br\/><strong>Location based technology is applied by local physical businesses<\/strong> like retail stores, hotels, and restaurants. They use beacon technology to send proximity-based signals to user devices. They also can track people via Wi-Fi, prompting in store visits. Some providers allow for tracking user location history as a proximity marketing technique.<br\/><br\/><strong>Online location based advertising<\/strong> is about sending accurately targeted ads to exact user segments. E-shops, iGaming operators, affiliate teams use location-based marketing to embrace wider groups of people who are highly likely to become their customers. It&#8217;s mainly about attracting new audiences, returning churned ones, and outperforming rivals in a broad ocean rather than fishing out from a small lake. Regional campaigns become more resultative when you engage people using location data.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1739277960418\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\" style=\"font-size: inherit;font-weight: 700;color: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin:0;\"><strong>3.

What are the types of location-based advertising?","answerCount":1,"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Geo-targeting marketing has been around for several years. It's used both online and offline. So, there are at least two main types of location based advertising:<br\/><br\/><strong>Location based technology is applied by local physical businesses<\/strong> like retail stores, hotels, and restaurants. They use beacon technology to send proximity-based signals to user devices. They also can track people via Wi-Fi, prompting in store visits. Some providers allow for tracking user location history as a proximity marketing technique.<br\/><br\/><strong>Online location based advertising<\/strong> is about sending accurately targeted ads to exact user segments. E-shops, iGaming operators, affiliate teams use location-based marketing to embrace wider groups of people who are highly likely to become their customers. It's mainly about attracting new audiences, returning churned ones, and outperforming rivals in a broad ocean rather than fishing out from a small lake. Regional campaigns become more resultative when you engage people using location data.","inLanguage":"en-US"},"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Question","@id":"https:\/\/blogdev.adsterratech.com\/blog\/location-based-targeting\/#faq-question-1739277960418","position":3,"url":"https:\/\/blogdev.adsterratech.com\/blog\/location-based-targeting\/#faq-question-1739277960418","name":"3.
