Weather has a profound influence on how consumers feel, what they buy, and how they engage with ads. From craving a hot drink on cold days to choosing sunscreen when it’s sunny, weather targeting allows brands to tap into real-time environmental factors to improve ad relevance and performance.
What is Weather Targeting?
Weather targeting enables advertisers to serve ads based on live or forecasted weather conditions. Using the Targetoo platform, campaigns can be tailored to specific weather contexts — like sunny, rainy, humid, snowy, or windy — and these weather data points can also be used for reporting and optimization, even if the campaign doesn’t explicitly target them.
Every impression is enriched with weather data, allowing for smarter insights and performance benchmarking, regardless of whether you’ve activated weather-based rules.
Why Use Weather Targeting?
-
Relevance through Dynamic Creatives
Ads can automatically change based on weather — for instance, showing cold drinks on hot days or umbrellas on rainy ones. This level of personalization drives engagement. -
Contextual Targeting at Its Best
Launch campaigns only when conditions match your product’s appeal. A sunscreen brand, for example, might only advertise during sunny spells. -
Smarter Budget Allocation
Avoid wasting impressions when customer behavior is less likely to convert — like skipping store-focused ads during storms or heavy rain.
