Imagine being able to put your advertising message onto peoples’ smartphones as they attend a Navy Football game? Or the patrons of a popular restaurant near your business?  It’s possible with GeoFencing from What’s Up? Digital. A GeoFence can be looked upon as a virtual perimeter that you can draw around any address on a map. We can then deliver ads inside that fence to potential customers.
