Whether you're the restaurant owner or a professional marketer coming up with new ways to bring new customers and repeat customers into your restaurant chain represents an ongoing challenge. It's easy to run out of new marketing ideas, and it's not always easy to filter through new technology to find the tools that can help make your marketing campaigns more efficient. There are he only so many times you can push the same five or six promotion types before the novelty wears off for your customers, and sending out offers that are not personalized or timely may lead to reduced open rates. The most dangerous thing for a marketer is relying on old ways of doing things and stagnating.
As a restaurant owner or marketer, you already recognize a great marketing campaign is based upon a baseline, goals and metrics to measure successful progress. The problem with measurement is that often there is no data, other than what is provided through a point of sale system, with which to establish whether the marketing initiative is successful. Customers expect a great dining experience, good meal, and friendly service from any restaurant. What can you do to differentiate your location from other choices and influence a decision to come to your location versus the competition? Targeting new and innovating marketing campaigns requires deeper understanding of your customers, their behaviors, and their spending patterns than you currently have access to.
There is, in fact, a powerful new technology to connect with your restaurant customers while offering them something incredibly valuable. If your customer base targets busy professionals, free wifi is attractive because it allows your guests to stay connected during their dining experience. Offering a powerful Wi-Fi signal has the potential to draw in more customers who come for the wifi and stay for lunch. While the benefit to your customers is great, the guest Wi-Fi system has something special that will help you invent new marketing ideas for your restaurant.
Simply introducing wifi gives you the opportunity to:
When a customer logs into your guest wifi, the first place they are directed is your landing page, giving you a unique opportunity to channel real-world business into an online venue. As a marketer, this is a fantastic chance to test your promotions by gathering valuable analytics on customer responses to your content.

This offers you an unprecedented amount of user information, giving you an in-depth understanding your customers that is sure to inspire new profit-driving marketing ideas for your restaurant.
Landing page promotions ideas could include:
With your customers constantly connecting to and disconnecting from the wifi system, this creates a massive amount of live commerce data. The wifi hub can detect who has connected and for how long including exact times of day for each connection. It is also aware of people with devices who walk by your restaurant vs those who walk in and sign into the wifi. The traffic data alone turns your wifi into an analytics tool, allowing you to design custom marketing ideas that uniquely suit your business and clientele.
Promotional ideas based on wifi analytics could include:
Between the landing page and analytics, you can now get a clear picture of how successful your promotional efforts are with device-wielding guests. The landing page can provide you with data on click-throughs and mobile device participation while the traffic analytics can tell you exactly how effective your outdoor marketing works based on the number of people who come in during a given time. Through your wifi platform, you can gather ratings and feedback, collect promotional quotes from happy customers, and learn about the patterns of your customers.
