  • • Missed opportunities for spontaneous visits
  • • Competitors capture customers who are in the area
  • • Can't leverage foot traffic from nearby attractions

  • • 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%

100m to 2km range
  • 100-300m for cafes and small shops
  • 500m-1km for restaurants and services
  • 1-2km for entertainment and large retail
  • Custom radius based on competition density
💡 TIP: Start with a smaller radius and expand based on customer response to avoid notification fatigue.
💬
Personalized Messages
Location-specific content
  • 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 and relevant to where they are.

Choose Your Perfect Trigger Radius

Different business types need different alert distances. Find the sweet spot for your location and customer behavior.

🏪
100-300m
Intimate Range

Perfect for small local businesses where customers need to be very close to visit.

✅ BEST FOR: Cafes, small shops, quick services, neighborhood businesses
  • EXAMPLE: Coffee shop alert when customers are within walking distance of the door
🏬
500m-1km
Neighborhood Range

Ideal for businesses where customers make planned visits but benefit from timely reminders.

✅ BEST FOR: Restaurants, salons, professional services, medium retail
  • EXAMPLE: Restaurant reminder when customers are in the downtown area during lunch
🏢
1-2km
Destination Range

Best for destination businesses where customers travel specifically to visit and plan their trips.

✅ BEST FOR: Entertainment venues, large retail, spas, specialty stores
  • EXAMPLE: Shopping center alert when customers are anywhere in the city district

Location Alert Best Practices

Get the most from your location alerts with these proven strategies and tips.

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
EXAMPLE: Coffee shop: Start with 200m radius, expand to 300m if needed
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
EXAMPLE: 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 - a special offer, new arrival, or unique experience.
💡 TIP: Lead with the benefit to the customer
EXAMPLE: 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. Get your message across quickly and clearly.
💡 TIP: Aim for one compelling sentence
EXAMPLE: Good: 'You're nearby! Fresh lunch specials ready now' Bad: 'We're excited to let you know we have amazing lunch specials available...'
