Location-Based Marketing

Using WiFi to provide location-specific content or offers. For example, a coffee shop might send a coupon for a discount on a latte when a customer is near their location.

Advanced Captive Portals

Utilizing captive portals goes beyond merely customizing the login page that users see when connecting to WiFi. They can be intelligently adapted based on time, language, and whether the user is new or returning.

For example, a morning login might greet the user with a breakfast offer, while an evening connection might suggest a dinner special. Language adaptation ensures that users from different backgrounds feel welcomed and understood, while customized messages for new versus returning customers can aid in both acquisition and retention. The ability to customize content based on these parameters enhances user engagement, provides a tailored customer experience, and maximizes the marketing potential of your WiFi network.

Social WiFi Marketing

Encourage customers to log into your WiFi network using their social media accounts. This allows for seamless access for users and provides businesses with an opportunity to increase their social media engagement.

Push Notifications

WiFi networks can be configured to send real-time push notifications to customers via for example SMS - see example. For instance, a retail store might send an SMS about a flash sale happening in real-time or a restaurant could text customers about a limited-time special menu. This immediate and direct form of communication can grab customer attention, drive impromptu purchases, and keep your business at the top of their minds.

Each of these strategies provides a unique opportunity to engage with customers, drive sales, and enhance the overall customer experience.
