Three Easy Steps

From Foot Traffic to a Useful Estimate.

You do not need a finished WiFi strategy. Start with the information you have, review the assumptions, and use the results to guide the next conversation.

01

Enter your foot traffic

Add the approximate number of guests who visit your locations. Ticketing, POS, door counters, or an internal estimate are all useful starting points.

Tip: Use a full year for the clearest annual estimate.
02

Adjust the assumptions

Update the highlighted fields, including WiFi attachment rate and the value of a new customer profile. Leave the benchmarks in place when you do not have your own data.

Tip: Run a conservative and an ambitious scenario.
03

Review each value stream

Look beyond the total. Compare audience growth, campaign actions, and sponsorship potential to see where guest WiFi can support your goals.

Tip: Save the inputs you want to validate with your team.
