A marketing strategy referring to the integration of social media, mobile technology, and local targeting to reach consumers more effectively, especially in real-time.

Breakdown of SoMoLo:

• Social: Using social media platforms (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, X) to engage and interact with consumers.
• Mobile: Targeting consumers through mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, as most users access content and make purchasing decisions on the go.
• Local: Focusing on location-based marketing strategies that target consumers in a specific geographic area, often using geolocation technology or local search queries.

Benefits for Marketers:

• Personalized Marketing: Combines a user’s social profile, mobile habits, and local preferences to deliver highly personalized ads or messages.
• Increased Engagement: Real-time interaction with consumers close to a business’s physical location and ready to make purchasing decisions.
• Stronger Conversion Rates: Appealing to users when they are near a point of sale or actively searching for products/services increases the chances of immediate conversions.
