Overview
What is VivaSpot Wi-Fi?
VivaSpot is a cloud-based marketing platform that automates proximity, email, social media and text message marketing – boosting revenue, foot traffic and customer intelligence for SMB’s who manage single and multi-location stores.
Why should I offer Wi-Fi service to my customers?
Free Wi-Fi is an excellent opportunity to offer your customers a value-added service while at the same time connecting with them to gather customer data, feedback, and provide rewards to encourage more
business. A large percentage of your customers likely already connect to the internet on a personal device while at your location; why not take advantage of this opportunity? And no mobile app download is required greatly lowering a barrier to entry.
Is VivaSpot applicable to access by mobile devices in addition to larger devices such as PCs?
Most definitely. VivaSpot is actually targeted to capturing the opportunity for ALL mobile devices, not just for PC users. Today’s Smartphones have advanced Wi-Fi capabilities and will most often automatically connect (after the first login) when they return to your business location.
Is VivaSpot only applicable to certain businesses like Coffee Shops and Bookstores where people may bring PCs and “park” for some time?
No, the VivaSpot solution and opportunity is for ALL business types and sizes. If you have ever seen a customer access their mobile device in your business location, this solution is for you. You incentivize your customers to login the first time with a reward, and from that point on you will have better insight into their visits and loyalty.
