Location Alerts

“I want to reach customers when they’re nearby my business.”

Bring customers back with perfectly timed location-based notifications. Set up unlimited addresses and custom trigger radius to reach customers when they’re most likely to visit.

Missed Opportunities

Customers pass by your business daily but don’t think to stop in. You have no way to reach them at the moment when they’re most likely to visit.

  • Customers walk or drive past without noticing
  • No way to reach customers when they’re nearby
  • Missed opportunities for spontaneous visits
  • Competitors capture customers who are in the area
  • Can’t leverage foot traffic from nearby attractions

Perfect Timing

Automatically notify customers when they’re within your chosen radius of any business location with personalized, timely messages.

  • Automatic notifications when customers are nearby
  • Set unlimited business addresses and locations
  • Custom message for each location
  • Adjustable trigger radius (100m to 2km)
  • Perfect timing increases visit likelihood by 300%

Flexible Geofencing Setup

Complete control over where and how your location alerts trigger.

📍 Unlimited Locations

Add as many business locations as you need. Perfect for businesses with multiple storefronts, food trucks, or popup locations.

EXAMPLES:

  • Multiple store locations with unique promotions
  • Food truck stops with location-specific menus
  • Popup events with event-specific messaging
  • Franchise locations with local offers

💡 TIP: Each location can have completely different messaging and radius settings

📐 Custom Trigger Radius

Set the perfect distance for your business type.

100-300m - Cafes, small shops, quick services 500m-1km - Restaurants, salons, professional services 1-2km - Entertainment venues, large retail, specialty stores

💡 TIP: Start with a smaller radius and expand based on customer response

💬 Personalized Messages

Craft unique messages for each location that reflect local context.

EXAMPLES:

  • Reference nearby landmarks or attractions
  • Location-specific promotions and offers
  • Time-sensitive deals for that area
  • Local event or weather-based messaging

💡 TIP: Include location context in your message to make it feel natural

Location Alert Best Practices

Choose the Right Radius

Start with a smaller radius and expand based on customer response. Too large and you’ll trigger when customers aren’t actually planning to visit.

💡 TIP: Test different radius sizes with your own device first

Craft Location-Relevant Messages

Reference nearby landmarks or local context to make alerts feel natural and relevant to where customers are.

💡 TIP: Include your business name and location context

Good: “You’re near Main Street Coffee! Fresh pastries just out of the oven” Bad: “Come visit us!”

Offer Clear Value

Every location alert should give customers a compelling reason to visit right now.

💡 TIP: Lead with the benefit to the customer

Good: “Free WiFi and quiet workspace available now” Bad: “Hope to see you soon”

Keep Messages Concise

Location alerts appear as phone notifications with limited space.

💡 TIP: Aim for one compelling sentence

Good: “You’re nearby! Fresh lunch specials ready now” Bad: “We’re excited to let you know we have amazing lunch specials available…”

Privacy & Customer Permission

Opt-In Only - Customers must explicitly enable location services when adding your loyalty card

🔒 Apple & Google Standards - Location alerts follow strict privacy guidelines. No location data stored or shared with third parties
