AdMessenger

Something that WFXR can offer that no one else offers is a product called AdMessenger. It serves mobile-optimized ads that are simple (logo+text), interactive, can be expandable, and target people on their phones.

Mobile advertising spending was expected to reach $413 billion in 2024. On average, people spend around five hours a day on their smartphones. 90% of mobile time is spent in apps.

AD MESSENGER WEATHER TARGETING

How Does it Work? The platform receives the user’s geolocation data when the AdMessage is loaded on their device. The system checks the weather conditions for that location and if there is a message targeted for that weather type. If a relevant message is found for that weather type, it will be displayed to the user; if not, the default message will be shown.
The currently supported weather types are:

  • Snow
  • Rain
  • Clouds (scattered, overcast, not clear skies)
  • Sun
  • Atmospheric (smoke, smog, volcanic ash, tornado)
  • Default – Everything else (a weather condition that does not match one of the other targeted weather types)

OTHER DETAILS…

  • Ad Messenger performs on average 2x better than standard mobile banners.
  • Our advanced reporting options provide you with insight into every campaign’s performance with hourly and daily impression delivery, operating system delivery, heat maps, and more!
  • Tap-to-Expand delivers expanded reporting options that include total expands, dwell time, taps on buttons and more!
  • $12 CPM ($18 with Tap-to-Expand) – this means it is priced per 1000 impressions… therefore 1,000 impressions would be $12 and if you wanted to “tap-to-expand” to show a map, then it would be $18 for 1,000 impressions. In general, I usually recommend a minimum of 30k-50k impressions. As with most marketing, the more you put in, the more you results you get out.

WHO IS THIS PRODUCT PERFECT FOR?

  • Small businesses with a special offer who want to target people near their location. For example:
    • Restaurants
    • Grocery Stores
    • Carnivals
