Leverage a captive portal to digitally engage visitors in your physical space.

Guest Wi-Fi is one of the most requested guest amenities, and providing digital connectivity to your visitors is an expected utility. Businesses understand this need for connectivity, but often overlook the guest Wi-Fi channel as part of an on-premise omni-channel strategy. Guest Wi-Fi marketing is a critical tool within an omni-channel marketing strategy, whether you are a retailer, sports team, museum, or co-working space. When visitors connect to your Wi-Fi, it's more than just internet access—it's a direct digital interaction that allows you to engage with them in real-time.

Wi-Fi marketing is the strategic use of a captive portal experience to digitally connect with visitors in your physical space. It transforms guest Wi-Fi into a powerful tool for customer engagement, data collection, and revenue generation. When guests connect to your Wi-Fi, it’s often their first interaction with your brand, presenting a crucial opportunity to engage with them and bridge the gap between the physical and digital experience. For many businesses, Guest Wi-Fi traffic surpasses website visitors and can be the largest source of inbound traffic.
