UnderstandIng PoInts of Interest (POI)
A Point of Interest (POI) refers to a specific location that is significant for individuals or businesses. These can be landmarks, establishments, or any geographical point that holds importance for a specific purpose. In advertising, POIs are the cornerstone of precision-targeted campaigns, enabling businesses to reach audiences based on their physical location and proximity to relevant places.
At DeVerse, POI technology is at the heart of our platform, allowing businesses to deliver hyper-localized and impactful mobile ad campaigns.
Why Are POIs Important?
POIs provide crucial context for location-based advertising, helping businesses target their audience more effectively. Instead of broad, generalized campaigns, POIs allow advertisers to focus on specific venues or areas where their audience is most likely to engage.

Examples of POIs include
- Restaurants and Cafés
- Fuel Stations
- Supermarkets and Convenience Stores
- Banks and ATMs
- Shopping Malls and Retail Stores
- Hotels and Resorts
- Gyms and Fitness Centers
- Event Venues
By understanding where people spend their time, businesses can create campaigns that are both relevant and timely.
