Military Recruiting Geofencing Advertising

Services

Geofencing puts recruiting ads on the phones of people at college campuses, career fairs, and community events, and keeps reaching them after they leave. RC Strategies picks each fence from the recruiting market analysis and cuts the ones that don't produce leads, so the budget goes to locations that bring in prospects, not impressions.

how we serve your mission

Location strategy

Fence locations come from the recruiting market analysis: college campuses, career and job fairs, sporting and community events, and the neighborhoods around recruiting offices. RC Strategies sizes each fence to the audience it is meant to reach and replaces locations that don't produce leads.

Event targeting

Fences go up around events where the Guard has a presence, such as fairs, games, and career days. Attendees keep seeing follow-up ads after they leave, so a conversation at a booth has a way to become a lead.

Audience layering

Location is combined with age and interest targeting where platform rules allow, so spend goes to likely prospects and not to everyone who passed through a fence.

Creative matched to place

Ads speak to where the prospect is. An ad near a campus can lead with tuition assistance, and an ad near a recruiting office can name the office and invite a visit.

Attribution and reporting

Reporting ties each fence to the leads and cost per lead it produced. Where recruiting offices are set up as conversion zones, it also counts office visits by people who saw the ads.

Frequently Asked Questions

What clients ask before we start

What is geofencing in military recruiting?

Geofencing is mobile advertising that shows ads to phones inside a boundary drawn around a place, such as a college campus, a career fair, or the area around a recruiting office, and can keep reaching those phones after they leave. RC Strategies uses it to put recruiting ads in front of prospects where they spend time. RC Strategies delivers two state ARNG RRB programs: the Georgia Army National Guard and the Arkansas Army National Guard.

Does geofencing work for National Guard recruiting?

It works when locations are chosen from data and each fence is judged on the leads it produces. It wastes money when fences are drawn around busy places and judged on impressions. RC Strategies manages the Georgia Army National Guard's statewide paid media budget, including geofencing, in a program that delivers 260 to 300+ qualified leads a month.

Where should a recruiting program draw geofences?

Start with the recruiting market analysis: where the target audience lives, where each recruiting area is short of mission, and where prospects gather. That usually points to college campuses, career and job fairs, community and sporting events, and the areas around recruiting offices. RC Strategies adds and drops locations as lead results come in.

How is geofencing measured?

RC Strategies reports leads and cost per lead for each fence, so the RRB can see which locations are worth the money. Where recruiting offices are set up as conversion zones, the report also counts visits to the office by people who saw the ads. Impressions and clicks are reported, but they don't decide which fences stay.

Does geofencing collect personal information?

No names or contact details come from a fence. Geofencing platforms use anonymous device location to decide where ads appear. A prospect becomes a lead only when they choose to fill out a form or call, and RC Strategies handles that information under the program's privacy rules.

How does geofencing fit with the rest of a recruiting media plan?

Geofencing is one channel in the state's media plan, next to streaming video, social, and search. It shares the same cost-per-qualified-lead target, and budget moves between channels based on results. See how RC Strategies runs National Guard recruiting growth.
