Rainey Street Performance: Hyperlocal Beats Broad Reach

Validated in a high-traffic downtown corridor with nightlife and event spikes.

Tap a signal to open the detail

Start with the headline numbers, then open only the detail you need.

Generic Austin Targeting

About 1.5% engagement

Broad campaigns create reach, but low conversion in dense entertainment zones.

View Detail

This is useful for awareness, but it is not enough for in-the-moment downtown conversion.

  • Strong top-of-funnel reach across the city.
  • Low intent capture at point-of-decision moments.
  • Best used as a support layer, not the core conversion tactic.

Rainey Geo-Tagged Zones

3.8% to 4.2% engagement

Tight corridor targeting improved response by more than 2.5x.

View Detail

Precision by block outperformed broad reach and drove stronger local action loops.

  • Highest response inside a 2 to 3 block operating radius.
  • Anchor venues carried most interaction volume.
  • Best fit for resident perks, timed offers, and local repeat traffic.

Event Trigger Windows

2.5x to 3x scan spikes

Live music and game-night windows create the highest in-the-moment lift.

View Detail

Performance spikes around event windows and helps partners plan better resident moments.

  • Pre-event windows generate the strongest QR and map engagement.
  • Peak-night traffic is highest during live entertainment windows.
  • Use event-linked prompts to convert one-time scans into repeat profiles.
