HOW DOES IT WORK?
Get a better understanding

Wi-Fi marketing targets specific customers with e-mails, text messages, and push notifications based on their on-site habits, where they visit within a location, demographics, and other metrics. Big data analysis turns the vast amount of information collected into good profiles and actionable information about customers.

Messages can be launched at any time, such as moments after the customer enters or leaves the location. Special promotions can be sent to drive targeted customer traffic whenever desired. Customers can also be asked to complete a satisfaction survey after leaving.

How Connected Business unleashes marketing capabilities over Wi-Fi


Guest Wi-Fi services are promoted by using signs, already registered e-mail addresses, postal mailings such as bill stuffers and mentions in advertising, etc.
An on-site reward program is created to provide an incentive for customers to provide their personal information when accessing Wi-Fi. A special offer or a discount can generate interest in using the service.
The Wi-Fi landing page is a valuable branding tool. It is the first thing the customer sees after sign-in. The look and feel of the Wi-Fi landing page is aligned with the corporate branding, while the content is tailored for each location.
Customers are encouraged to sign in using whatever means seems best to them. Multiple options are provided on the Wi-Fi landing page to provide customers with maximum flexibility.
Customers are able to express their communication preferences when accessing Wi-Fi.
Thank You” messages are sent after the customer leaves the location, perhaps including an incentive for returning.
Wi-Fi analytics are used to monitor the performance of a marketing campaign, including the ability to drive on-site traffic.

Why do we want to help you?
Your Business needs creativity

We believe that business should be a connecting, empowering and liberating force – contributing meaningfully to the common good and connecting individuals to their calling and mission in life.

Innovation, creativity and courage are required if business is to live up to this ideal. Individuals with imagination must be given the means to bring new and exciting ventures into the world - for the benefit of our economies, our communities and our shared future.

Christians are well placed to serve others towards this end. At their best our communities are fully invested in power of servanthood, fellowship and mutual support. We also believe that the talents, gifts and resources that we have been given are not primarily for our own benefit but for the benefit of others.
