SMS Geofencing is a location based marketing technique that sends SMS messages to users’ mobile devices when they enter, exit or are near a specific geographic area. It uses GPS, WiFi, RFID or mobile network data to create virtual boundaries called geofences around a defined location.

When a mobile device crosses this virtual perimeter, it triggers an automated SMS, typically used for promotional SMS, SMS reminders or SMS alerts.

• Send timely, personalised promotions that drive conversions
• Improve event communication with on site attendees
