WiFi Marketing and Monetization - FAQ

What is WiFi marketing?

WiFi marketing is a strategy where businesses use their public WiFi network as a marketing tool. By offering free WiFi, businesses collect valuable customer data (like emails, demographics, and behavior) and use it for targeted promotions, personalized campaigns, and improved customer engagement.

How much can I earn by monetizing my WiFi?

Earnings depend on your location, foot traffic, and industry. Shopping malls, airports, and restaurants can monetize WiFi through targeted ads, sponsored content, data collection, and cross-selling. Some businesses see revenue boosts of 10-20% by leveraging WiFi data for better marketing. Check our Guest WiFi ROI Calculator
