Why are we putting up with Bad WiFi?

We want to keep in touch with friends and loved ones, stay updated and be able to do<img decoding="async" class="" style="width: 320px; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; float: right;" title="Stampede Wifi" src="https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/2735287/Blog/bad-wifi.jpg" alt="Stampede Wifi" width="320" data-constrained="true" /> work anywhere, anytime. But how many times have you found yourself searching around a restaurant or cafe for a WiFi password?
Did you have to ask a member of the staff? Did they even know it? How about the time you had to fill in a seemingly endless form to connect? And then there&#8217;s the Guessing Game &#8211; where you have to hack into the WiFi by guessing the password.
If you do eventually manage to connect, all too often you’ll be faced with poor connectivity. Repeated dropping out and reconnecting, slow loading webpages and having to re-enter a password on every visit which leaves a ‘what’s the point?’ feeling. So we accept bad WiFi and continue to use our data allowance out of pure convenience.
<h3>Spending Our Data Allowance</h3>
But what about the times when we can’t use our data allowance, such as when we are on holiday, or in a basement bar? How many times have you found yourself having to leave a bar or club late at night to stand in the cold and rain just to get some phone signal, to book a taxi or arrange to meet friends for example? It’s simply crazy that we have to do that. Hunting for data and feeling cut off from the world isn’t acceptable, is frustrating and can be anxiety provoking.
I think we’d agree that having access to Guest WiFi is essential in most public places &#8211; <a href="https://www.stampede.ai/wifi-in-action#transport">such as public transport</a> &#8211; but why are we accepting such a poor quality experience? All we want is for the WiFi to just work, but it is associated with hassle and disappointment &#8211; our expectations are not high.
<h3>Why don’t we demand better?</h3>
We need to spread the word that Guest WiFi can do more than just work &#8211; it can provide users and businesses with an epic experience, where we enjoy <a href="https://www.stampede.ai/how-it-works#marketing">once in a lifetime login and promotional offers</a> just for using the Guest WiFi as we normally would.
A seamless WiFi experience and discounts on favourite drinks and food at places we visit is a huge win-win for us as customers. Who doesn’t want a free drink on their birthday? Or a discount on their next visit?
It’s about telling businesses where we think they can do better. We as customers don’t need to suffer poor quality Guest WiFi when there are easy to set up, cost effective solutions available which can be set up in your <a href="https://www.stampede.ai/wifi-in-action#coffee">local independent coffee shop</a>, <a href="https://www.stampede.ai/wifi-in-action#hospitality">national restaurant chains</a> or <a href="https://www.stampede.ai/wifi-in-action#hotels">multinational hotels</a>.
<h3>Tell Us About Your Bad WiFi</h3>
Why not have something which exceeds our expectations? Have you ever been through a really bad WiFi experience? Maybe the signal was almost non-existent, the speed was slow as a snail or it was just not safe at all?  Feel free share your experience on the comments section below.

Bad WiFi: Is This As Good as It Gets?

For more than 50 years the world has been flocking to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) to get a peek at the latest breakthrough technologies. The CES was the place to launch the computer mouse, CD players, smart homes and 3D printers. Since its first show in 1967, more than <a href="https://www.ces.tech/Media/New-Product-Launches" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">700.000 products</a> have presented at the CES.

In case you didn’t have the chance to follow the show and were relying on Stampede to bring you the latest trends &#8211; we got you covered! From amazing inventions like the WiFi-enabled self-cleaning litter box for cats to  the latest brewing devices that enable you to create your own beer in 10-14 days, we’ll take a look at the latest WiFi trends around the world.
<h3>WPA3 Protocol</h3>
There has been a lot of ongoing discussion about the security flaws in the currently used WPA2 security control after the discovery of the <a href="https://www.stampede.ai/blog/wpa2-breach-is-your-wifi-safe" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">KRACK breach back in October</a>. At CES 2018, the WiFi-Alliance announced a new and more secure WiFi Protected Access security protocol.  Added improvements will expulse anyone who tries to snoop around the sensitive data that is constantly exchanged between devices and access points on wireless networks. Unlike WPA2, WPA3 will now block authentication after a set number of failed login attempts. The new protocol is expected to arrive at the beginning of 2018 and we hope manufacturers hurry up to supply us with the suitable hardware for it soon.
<h3>Let&#8217;s connect</h3>
One of the most exciting topics this year was the Internet of Things, an expression as general as the use that we can get from it. Everything is now connected to the internet, exchanging and collecting data to connect our devices, homes, cars and lives. At the CES, we had the first opportunity to look at smart cities, which are fully connected and probably know more about our behaviours and routines than we do ourselves. These smart cities connect absolutely everything, from your cat’s smart necklace to a self-steering car. Another emerging technology that was discussed during the event was the Internet of Life Saving Things (IoLST), which is focused on using connected technologies and captured data to save valuable seconds and lives in case of emergency. For example, a smart watch could detect a heart attack and immediately  call an ambulance &#8211; not bad for a device that was once used to just tell time!
Autobots, roll out!
There was a lot of buzz in Las Vegas this week about the latest developments in the automotive sector. All the big players found their way to the CES this year (so at least they’ve got the navigation systems down right). The trend continues with vehicle technologies taking away most responsibilities from human drivers and focus on safety by connectivity. This is a great mobility enhancement for seniors and disabled people who can&#8217;t otherwise get around. The coolest thing we saw? How about steering a car with nothing but human brain signals (which could be a good or bad thing, depending on the level of intelligence of the person behind the wheel).
Health is Wealth
An immense amount of smart devices at CES were aimed at becoming your own personal trainer. We saw sleep tracking devices that learn your sleep routine and help you to get the most out of the best time of the day and smart <a class="" href="http://www.rotextech.com/en/product.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">tracking tattoos</a>, as thin as a sheet of paper, that inform you about heart rate or stress levels. Another fascinating innovation was <a href="https://www.oskawellness.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Pulse</a>, a non-drug pain relief device that works with pulsed electromagnetic frequency to decrease pain at a cellular level. Pretty impressive!
Another year, another step forward
As with every year, the world was waiting with baited breath to see what the big players in the field of consumer tech had to offer at CES. Sure, there was some cool stuff, but we have to say,  there were less weird devices than expected- what a disappointment.
The crucial role of connectivity on this year’s CES was unmatched and we hope you can take away some inspiration about what smart homes, lifesaving watches and smart tattoos can do for you. So, if your new year’s resolution for your business is to take it to that next level, we’re happy to help you out you around and introduce you to a little helper that can make a big difference to both you and your customers.

CES 2018: WPA3, SMART TATTOOS and MORE

So you’ve just signed up for Stampede. Congratulations! Now you’re collecting marketing data from all of the customers that visit your venue and use your WiFi. The problem is, now you’ve got all this valuable data collected and don’t quite know what to do with it. No worries, we’re here to help. Here are some tips that will help you increase conversion rates with the Stampede <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/how-to-set-up-your-first-email-campaign-guide-2019/">automated marketing feature</a>.







<h4 class="wp-block-heading">SMS vs Email</h4>



A common question that business owners have is ‘Shall I send out SMS texts or emails to my customers?’ and we have to admit &#8211; good question. 



Both methods are widely used by businesses around the globe and both methods work perfectly fine. The reason for the popularity of these marketing methods is easily justified with the fact that customers can be reached easily on their phone, as they are online and available 24/7. 



Whereas emails are more strongly associated with spam and obvious advertising, SMS texts are more personal and feel like a friend sending a message. That doesn&#8217;t necessarily make SMS superior to emails, as mails can include pictures or links.



In order to improve your marketing conversion rate and get the most out of the two methods, we recommend you to make use of them both, depending on the content you want to convey to your customers.



If you want to find out which of the two methods is more suitable for your business, click right here and have a look at our <a rel="noopener noreferrer" class="" href="http://get.stampede.ai/sms-vs-email-marketing-ebook" target="_blank">eBook.</a>



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>





<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Schedules &amp; Timing</h4>



The first question we need to answer here is ‘How often should I reach out to my customers and send them promotional material?’ 



Studies revealed that 61% of interviewees preferred to receive <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/infographic-how-likely-are-people-to-act-on-promotions/">promotional material</a> at least once a month. Therefore, we’d recommend you to stick to that rule of thumb. Of course, it’s difficult to come up with a general rule for this, and we are convinced that you have a better understanding of your business, your customers and their expectations.



Another important aspect to consider is the local time of recipients. Try and schedule your campaigns depending on the local time of the people who are the ones reading your message. Nobody wants to be woken up in the middle of the night by a promotional text message.&nbsp;



Timing also comes into play when asking your customers to <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/the-power-of-reviews-and-recommendations/">leave reviews</a>. The best time to ask someone to leave a review is just after they’ve visited your business. Use the automated marketing feature of Stampede to send an email or SMS asking your customer for a <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/how-to-respond-to-positive-and-negative-customer-reviews-online/">review on TripAdvisor</a> or simply to remind them of the good time they had with you. 



Timing can be considered crucial to increase marketing conversion rates for your business.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Segmenting the list</h4>



Using the Stampede&nbsp;software will supply you with powerful customer insights in the form of data. And the best part of data gathering in Stampede is that it’s all automatic. 



We understand that you’re excited to make use of all this data, but remember that some content is more relevant for certain segments of your customer base. Therefore, we advise you to segment your customer list in order to send out specifically targeted messages. 



To give you a quick example, customers can be asked to choose their favourite sports in the splash screen when they login to your WiFi. Depending on which sporting event is coming up next, invite the Rugby/ Football/ Hockey fans to your pub to enjoy the match and a cold pint. As easy as that!



Segmenting a list and putting it to work, basically aims at approaching customers in the most personal manner. This personal approach can help your business improve marketing conversion rates. Remember &#8211; nobody wants to miss a message from an old friend. Also, the more personal you are in making the customer experience memorable, the greater the likelihood of them <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/engaging-customers-through-wi-fi-marketing/">coming back</a>.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Never stop testing</h4>



To improve your marketing conversion rates, it is important to keep track of how successful your campaigns are. 



Easily <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/the-marketing-power-of-wifi-analytics-for-your-business/">check your reports</a> on the Stampede dashboard and learn which campaigns are successful and which ones need improvement. Unfortunately, we can’t give you the perfect tailored message, as every customer group is unique and different. Therefore, we recommend you to send out different messages for each customer group and test them against each other. Some will fail, others will be successful- the important thing is that you try and take as much as you can from the reports and keep on testing and improving.



In case you want to grow your business with a smart Guest WiFi solution, you shouldn’t waste another day. Hit the link below and let us introduce you to an easy-to-use software that can make all the difference. Getting you the highest marketing conversion rates you have ever seen.

Improving Conversion Rates in Marketing

With the latest release of our software &#8211; <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/connect-version-4-0/">Version 4.0</a> &#8211; we have added a brand new feature that will transform how promotions are delivered to customers in venues. Our Story feature.







WiFi Stories allows you to promote news, offers, events and more in a dynamic way. On your <a href="http://connect.stampede.ai">Connect account</a> you can now create tiles for individual promotions and messages, that will be shown to returning visitors to your venue, after they login back into the WiFi. Each tile will be shown for 12 seconds before moving on, with a countdown timer along the top.



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="800" height="593" src="https://stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Stories-small-loop.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-12594"/></figure>



Heres the clever bit. Stories guarantees visibility of your promotions and messages &#8211; as visitors can&#8217;t access the free WiFi until they have watched your Stories. You&#8217;ve got them in your venue, and now you&#8217;ve got their attention &#8211; use it wisely!



Also, you can track impressions from the Stories and track clicks and interactions on these in the Connect platform, alongside our improved dashboard, analytics and other marketing tools.



Our WiFi Stories feature is a first of it&#8217;s kind for guest WiFi systems and captive portals, and we&#8217;re super proud of this innovation and how it can help businesses reach customers in new ways.

Introducing: Stories

The successful digital transformation of town centres can create a vibrant high street at the heart of the community – a source of pride for all involved.

There are many rural towns, keen to re-energize and regenerate the town center and outlying neighborhoods, but the sad truth is that this is being hindered by very poor broadband accessibility.
Without reliable, superfast broadband, local businesses can’t function and grow. Unsurprisingly, locals choose to shop elsewhere in bigger towns, the community is slow to interact with the outside world and tourists drive by.
It is increasingly difficult for smaller, rural towns to maintain a community spirit and many town communities are repeatedly let down by broken promises from big broadband providers.
<img decoding="async" class="wp-image-4310 alignleft" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left; width: 307px;" title="Stampede Town Center WiFi" src="https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/2735287/Imported_Blog_Media/08-wi-upper-green-west-2015.jpg" alt="Stampede Town Center WiFi" width="307" data-constrained="true" />
The tide, however, is beginning to turn and more and more town communities are deciding to take matters into their own hands to find an alternative solution.
There is an increasing number of grass-root, Community Partnership projects, finding ways to install superfast broadband and leap into the 21st century. Typically, these projects are supported by both, local business owners and Councils, along with external support and expert guidance. The beauty of the solution is the inbuilt sustainability of the project. As more users join, investment costs are shared, the law of diminishing returns comes into play and profitability for every business involved increases.
Through the installation of superfast broadband, communities are provided with full interactivity throughout the town. Additionally, town centres can create a free digital e-<img decoding="async" class="wp-image-4312 alignright" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; float: right; width: 354px;" title="Stampede Newquay" src="https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/2735287/Imported_Blog_Media/Newquay_summer_Searle-8223.jpg" alt="Stampede Newquay" width="354" data-constrained="true" />commerce portal and deploy a free public Wi-Fi zone. The quality of life for those living, working and visiting the town combined with the economic boost to local business  will re-energise the town centre.

Intelligent WiFi Can Deliver Digital Transformation To Town Centres

Now that you know all the good, bad and ugly about AI-generated content from the <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/ai-tools-for-marketers-an-insiders-view">first part of our AI series</a>, it’s time to go a little deeper.



For this, we had a closer look into two of the most popular and widely used AI tools: <a href="https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt/">ChatGPT</a> and <a href="https://www.jasper.ai/">Jasper</a>.



We’ve compared their main features and capabilities and also came up with ways to get the most out of both.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-chatgpt-vs-jasper-the-basics-compared">ChatGPT vs. Jasper &#8211; The Basics Compared</h2>



For now, ChatGPT is a free tool. Its popularity practically blew up overnight and it became the fastest tool to hit 100 million users.



Unfortunately, this led to quite a lot of downtime and users not being able to access it. This is why they are now offering a paid version for $20/m which guarantees full accessibility and also faster responses.



Jasper, on the other hand, is a paid tool.&nbsp;



They offer a 5-day free trial to give you an idea and after that, their prices start from $49/m with a 50,000-word limit. Bear in mind that the word limit refers to all words created, even if you decide to delete them.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3 Things To Keep In Mind</h2>



Before you dive into the world of AI-generated content, there are some things to be aware of.



Here are the 3 main ones:



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>They generate original content pulled from the web &#8211; you need to do fact-checking!</li>



<li>They have finished their base training a couple of years ago, so some of their knowledge is not up to date</li>



<li>They remember previous input and allow for follow-up adjustments if needed</li>
</ol>



The example below from ChatGPT shows what happens if you ask for recent events:



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="294" src="https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-09-at-10.20.44-1024x294.png" alt="ChatGPT example" class="wp-image-22963" srcset="https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-09-at-10.20.44-1024x294.png 1024w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-09-at-10.20.44-300x86.png 300w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-09-at-10.20.44-768x220.png 768w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-09-at-10.20.44-1200x345.png 1200w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-09-at-10.20.44-150x43.png 150w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-09-at-10.20.44.png 1442w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



Is there a way to get around this?&nbsp;



The solution, according to the platforms, is to feed in any necessary information that might be missing to provide more context. Basically, teach it yourself.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ways To Generate AI Content</h2>



The most notable difference between ChatGPT vs. Jasper lies in the way you can create content.



ChatGPT



ChatGPT only offers one way, a chat function, which is dialogue based. It follows a question-answer pattern where you simply put in your request to start a conversation.&nbsp;



It’s therefore very easy to use (once you’ve cracked the commands) and a good tool to get you started.



Jasper



Jasper, on the other hand, comes with a plethora of tools for content creation, i.e. chat, 50+ templates, documents, recipes, and workflows.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="661" src="https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-14-at-12.34.39-1024x661.png" alt="Jasper templates" class="wp-image-22962" srcset="https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-14-at-12.34.39-1024x661.png 1024w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-14-at-12.34.39-300x194.png 300w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-14-at-12.34.39-768x496.png 768w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-14-at-12.34.39-1536x992.png 1536w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-14-at-12.34.39-1200x775.png 1200w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-14-at-12.34.39-150x97.png 150w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-14-at-12.34.39.png 2028w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



This can be a bit overwhelming for first-time users with a lot of options to choose from. To help you better navigate around the platform, Jasper offers various live training sessions and a <a href="https://learn.jasper.ai/bootcamp/overview?_gl=1*6nj48j*_ga*MTY3NDQwNjgxMC4xNjc1MTU0NjQ0*_ga_D4P3CS8W5P*MTY3NjQ1Mzg1OS4xOS4xLjE2NzY0NTM4NjAuNTkuMC4w">bootcamp</a>. Which we’d recommend making use of.



Now, the main difference between their individual tools is the degree of guidance they provide.



For example, Recipes come with pre-set step-by-step instructions. You only need to fill in your own input where required. It’s a fast way to generate content and is also ideal to get a better feeling of how Jasper&#8217;s commands work.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="401" src="https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-09-at-13.34.23-1024x401.png" alt="Jasper recipes" class="wp-image-22964" srcset="https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-09-at-13.34.23-1024x401.png 1024w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-09-at-13.34.23-300x118.png 300w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-09-at-13.34.23-768x301.png 768w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-09-at-13.34.23-1536x602.png 1536w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-09-at-13.34.23-1200x470.png 1200w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-09-at-13.34.23-150x59.png 150w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-09-at-13.34.23.png 1542w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



The opposite can be found in their chat (same functionality as ChatGPT) or document option, which allows for much more freedom.&nbsp;



Workflows and templates are somewhere in between with a little guidance.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="730" src="https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-15-at-12.49.35-1024x730.png" alt="Jasper documents" class="wp-image-22965" srcset="https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-15-at-12.49.35-1024x730.png 1024w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-15-at-12.49.35-300x214.png 300w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-15-at-12.49.35-768x548.png 768w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-15-at-12.49.35-1536x1096.png 1536w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-15-at-12.49.35-1200x856.png 1200w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-15-at-12.49.35-150x107.png 150w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-15-at-12.49.35.png 1688w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



It’s best to give them all a try to understand their difference and when to use them.

The question that remains is: is it worth paying for an AI tool?&nbsp;



It depends on how you want to use it.&nbsp;

ChatGPT vs. Jasper: The Two Most Popular AI Tools Compared

Email marketing is one of the most effective digital marketing strategies; in fact, <a href="https://www.wordstream.com/blog/ws/2017/06/29/email-marketing-statistics">59% of B2B marketers</a> claim that this is the best channel for generating revenue. To add to this, 80% of retailers say it <a href="https://www.wordstream.com/blog/ws/2017/06/29/email-marketing-statistics">leads to the highest customer retention</a> – even surpassing social media efforts. In short, this means that even businesses that are non-digital, such as restaurants, pubs, bars, etc. can also benefit from email marketing; a study even found that emails have a click through rate that is six times higher than tweets. But to be effective, you need to first build an email list . Then you can get the best possible ROI from your marketing efforts. An email list is just a list of collected emails that businesses gather over time from customers. Customers sign up for the list to receive updates on products, discounts, seasonal sales, and other details about the business – directly into their inbox. Let’s first go through the benefits of building a list, and running email marketing campaigns designed to engage and retain consumers:



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-benefits-of-email-marketing"> Benefits Of Email Marketing </h3>



 Email marketing has a lot of benefits, especially if you are not an online business. Once they walk out from your establishment you often don&#8217;t have other means of connecting with your customers. These include:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li> Direct communication with your customers</li>



<li> A broader audience base that includes the people who aren’t active on social media</li>



<li> Low marketing costs</li>



<li> Emails also acquire new customers around <a href="https://www.campaignmonitor.com/blog/email-marketing/2019/04/importance-building-email-list/">40 times better</a> than Twitter or Facebook. </li>



<li> Surveying the market to determine customer demands</li>



<li> Word of mouth (QuickSprout found that email subscribers are <a href="https://www.quicksprout.com/11-things-i-wish-i-knew-before-i-started-my-first-blog/">three times more likely to share content</a> on social media than leads coming from any other channel).</li>
</ul>



 Every email you send to the customers should contain to something valuable. Non-digital businesses can utilise email lists to raise awareness regarding new campaigns, product release, promotions, and even reward loyal customers. This will lead to increased consumer engagement, and eagerness to open the emails as they expect to gain something of value. For example, restaurant owners can send email alerts about a revamped menu, while boutiques can promote their summer sales to returning customers who have subscribed to the list. Remember, consumers who purchase through email tend to <a href="https://www.jeffbullas.com/email-marketing-statistics/">spend around 138% more</a> than people who do not subscribe to your list.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-building-an-email-list-from-scratch">Building An Email List From Scratch </h3>



 Before you start building a solid email list for your business, make sure you have the following supporting resources: Detailed Knowledge About Your Target Audience Prior to building an email list, it’s always better to know exactly who these people are. By creating a basic marketing persona, you can determine how well different kinds of emails would be received. To gain valuable information like the customer’s demographics (including age, gender, and even salary), as well as their buying goals, use tools like Stampede – a Wi-Fi marketing platform that makes capturing information like this easy, and fully <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/blackbx-wifi-and-gdpr/">compliant with regulations like GDPR</a>. This is the ideal way of gaining a large number of email addresses, especially since most customers want to connect to free Wi-Fi. A good way to encourage more people to connect – and thus, sign up for your newsletter – is by announcing the fact that you offer free Wi-Fi on your menu, on the concierge’s desk, on your waiting staff’s aprons, tables, etc. An Updated Website With Attractive Landing Pages You also need a solid base to direct your email list members to; the business website is the best location for this purpose. If you’re a small business with a minimalistic website, don’t worry. All you really need is a basic landing page that contains your email/subscriber form. Now that you’re ready with the above-mentioned resources, it’s time to get to the actual job at hand – building your email list. Here is a step-by-step guide that is guaranteed to help you build an effective list: 1. Sign Up For An Email Marketing Service To reap the benefits of your mailing list, you first need to choose the right email marketing service for your business. These marketing services generally tend to offer different pricing models that you can choose from. To test the waters, try a basic package and see how well it works. Popular examples include MailChimp and Hubspot. You can use any provider that you’re comfortable with, and simply export all the customer data through a software like Zapier. 2. Integrate Email Into All Marketing Strategies With the help of your email provider, integrate your mailing lists with any other platform that your business is active on. This will allow you to collect email addresses from different platforms, and even alert the consumer whenever you send an email. 3. Optimise Your Website Campaigns and attractive landing pages are the top ways through which you can collect emails. You could include the following into your website:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li> Personalised CTA For Each Landing Page Or Blog – In a study conducted by <a href="https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/personalized-calls-to-action-convert-better-data">HubSpot</a>, personalised CTAs have led to 42% higher view-to-submission rates than uniform CTAs all over the website. </li>



<li> Slide-Ins – Slide in advertisements, or website retargeting can help you engage the consumer better. They can convince a visitor to stay, and even attract them towards a particular product or service.</li>



<li> Opt-In Forms – Good opt-in forms can make or break your mailing lists. Be sure to only ask relevant questions. Don’t be too intrusive, but also, don’t hesitate to ask for the information that you need.</li>



<li> Timed Pop-Up Surveys – To increase the probability of your viewers signing up to the mailing list, first make sure they are well-invested. Pepper different pages with specific surveys related to that content, after the visitor has spent some time on the page.</li>
</ul>



 4. Use Stampede This service provides you with a branded login portal that greets your customers when they connect to your Wi-Fi. It further enhances your marketing campaigns by collecting valuable data to increase customer loyalty, sales, and even return visits. Customers gain lifetime access to the business’s Wi-Fi, while you capture a ton of customer insights.



5. Set Up Auto-Responders Now that you have an optimised website or landing page (through the Wi-Fi sign up portal); it’s time to ensure that you send the right content, at the right time, to subscribers. A simple way to do this is by setting up auto responders. These are automated emails, scheduled in advance to send upon specific triggers or actions by your visitors. Stampede can help you send action-triggered, highly targeted, and personalised messages automatically to your customers. For example, you can set up an auto responder for when customers sign up to your list. This ‘welcome email’ can contain short message, followed by a coupon for 5% discount or complimentary dessert on their current dine-in order, or any other purchase. This can be incredibly effective to increase sales, providing <a href="https://www.easy-smtp.com/welcome-email-marketing-optimization">average of 320% more revenue</a> per email than other promotional material.



As a non-digital business, it’s important to incorporate various mediums into your marketing efforts, such as email marketing. While excellent service is one aspect of retaining customers, targeted emails can keep them engaged – even when they’re not physically present in your store or restaurant. And the most important factor to consider when building your mailing list is valued content. As long as you send good deals to your customer, they will remain engaged with your brand. To take things a step further, carry out A/B testing to determine what kind of emails have higher opening, and click-through rates. This will offer you insights into what drives your customers – which can be further used to drive engagement, and ultimately, sales.

How To Build An Email List For A Non-Digital Business

Heat, Light, Water and&#8230; WiFi?

As a business owner, the above utilities are essential services to a growing brand.
If you run a restaurant, bar, café, club or pub, then you have to consider WiFi as the 4th most important utility to offer your customers, after, heat light and water (….or wine).
It seems obvious to say but offering a great guest WiFi experience is just as essential to the customers as the environment and the quality of food and drinks you serve. The whole experience keeps customers on your premises longer, increasing your customer base and revenue.
Many businesses already give WiFi access to their customers by either leaving their WiFi connection &#8216;open&#8217; or by giving out the password at the bar or writing it on a menu board….(sounds familiar?)
<img decoding="async" class="wp-image-4277 alignleft" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; float: right; width: 234px;" title="Stampede WiFi Fourth Service" src="https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/2735287/Imported_Blog_Media/6f0dbdc5df34cb2c4a312eb7cf0ff867.jpg" alt="Stampede WiFi Fourth Service" width="234" data-constrained="true" />
Whichever of these options you choose, each comes with a number of problems.
Firstly, if the Internet connection is critical for day to day running of their business to process card payments, run POS systems etc, there is a real danger that customers will potentially have access to sensitive information.
Secondly, unless the default login details to the WiFi router are changed, anyone could login to the router and make changes. This could range from wiping out internet connectivity completely or changing the network name to something obscene reflecting poorly on your brand.
Thirdly, by leaving the connection open or freely giving out the password, people from outside or nearby may be using the WiFi, reducing their chances of coming inside and increasing your chance of a hefty internet bill.
If the network password is openly displayed, hackers can use a number of free tools available on the Internet to &#8216;sniff&#8217; traffic sent over a WiFi network. This means they will be able to see all the information, including usernames and passwords sent over the network. Customers of yours could have their accounts breached with no consequence to the culprit. Reflecting terribly on your brand.
Offering Wi-Fi greatly improves the guest experience and definitely builds customer loyalty.
<img decoding="async" class="wp-image-4272 alignright" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left; width: 410px;" title="Stampede The pack Branding" src="https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/2735287/Imported_Blog_Media/the-pack.jpg" alt="Stampede The pack Branding" width="410" data-constrained="true" />
You should consider a self-branded splash page; this is a great way to make it super easy for guests to connect and it’s also an opportunity for you to talk to your customers. Personalize their experience and get them speaking to their friends about how great your business is. You can easily identify if any users are up to no good and block out any non-child friendly websites. All this, as well as complying with all the legalities associated with offering guest WiFi in your venue, is covered by us.

For decades, hospitality businesses have trusted in the power of human labour to keep their venues running. Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises more efficient operations and better-personalised experiences for their customers.&nbsp;



But while AI has comes with huge benefits &#8211; from automating mundane tasks to better understanding customers’ needs &#8211; it also poses potential drawbacks.&nbsp;



Before you decide whether or not integrating AI into your hospitality operations is right for you, take some time to consider both the pros and cons we lay down in this blog article.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-ai-is-used-in-the-hospitality-industry">How AI is used in the hospitality industry</h2>



AI is being used in a variety of ways in the hospitality industry, from chatbots that assist with reservations to orders to automated systems that streamline check-in and check-out processes and marketing and sales automation.



It also comes with the ability to predict customer needs and preferences, which can help with recommendations, personalised service and upsell.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-key-advantages-of-using-ai-in-hospitality">Key advantages of using AI in hospitality</h2>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">1. Increased operational efficiency and productivity</h4>



With AI, businesses are able to streamline their operational and administrative processes and automate tasks. This allows for a significant increase in productivity and better resource management.



Moreover, with less manual handling required, there is a reduced chance of human error. Especially when dealing with customer data or uploading and updating spreadsheets, which can be prone to mistakes.



Marketing teams can massively improve their efforts with AI. For example, use data insights to build defined customer segments. The foundation for email and SMS campaigns that really resonate with customers and drive them back to their venue.&nbsp;



With clever <a href="https://stampede.ai/downloads/hospitality-marketing-automation-playbook">campaign automation</a>, operators can additionally save valuable time and staff can focus on more crucial tasks.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">2. Reduced costs</h4>



With the rise of AI, there are new opportunities for hospitality businesses to cut costs.



Routine and repetitive tasks can easily be automated, saving on labour costs. Besides, by implementing AI, operators can bypass ongoing staff shortages.



It also allows for more efficient and accurate decision-making backed by real data insights. So without relying on guesswork, operators can ultimately reduce unnecessary costs in the long run.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">3. Improved customer experience</h4>



The key to retaining customers is to ensure that they have a memorable experience when interacting with your brand. This is where the use of AI comes in.&nbsp;



Businesses can create a much more personalised and tailored experience that is based on customers’ preferences and behaviours.



Moreover, AI can help to connect all of a customer&#8217;s interactions with a brand across various digital channels. This contributes towards a more unified and seamless online experience.&nbsp;



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">4. Better forecasting</h4>



In today&#8217;s fast-paced environment, having accurate and timely forecasts can mean the difference between success and failure.&nbsp;



AI has the ability to analyse vast amounts of customer data in a second and provide insights into revenue opportunities that may have otherwise been missed.&nbsp;



Perhaps even more importantly, AI can predict market trends, giving businesses an edge in their strategic planning. By leveraging the preciseness of forecasting, businesses can make smarter decisions, allocate resources more effectively, and ultimately, increase their bottom line.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-main-disadvantages-of-using-ai-in-hospitality">Main disadvantages of using AI in hospitality</h2>



Although AI has the potential to take business operations to the next level, it comes with its share of disadvantages that should also be considered.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">&nbsp;1. Impersonal service</h4>



One major issue with AI is the loss of the human touch. Whether it&#8217;s automated customer service systems or self-checkout kiosks, these rather impersonal experiences can negatively affect customer satisfaction.



AI systems can never fully replace human intuition and judgement, which can also lead to errors and inaccuracies in service.&nbsp;



No doubt, the human element is vital to creating a warm and welcoming environment. It&#8217;s through genuine connections with staff that customers feel valued and it&#8217;s those connections that keep them coming back time and time again.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">2. System failure</h4>



Running a hospitality business is a complex task that requires a lot of moving parts to function well. The success of operations depends heavily on all of the systems working properly.



Unfortunately, when these systems fail, they can cause serious disruption to the entire operation. Rooms may be double-booked, orders may be lost or misplaced and customers may be left waiting for extended periods of time.



As a result, unsatisfied customers and negative reviews can quickly pile up, causing lasting damage to the business.&nbsp;



To mitigate the risk of system failure, it’s important for hospitality operators to have a plan in place in case their AI tool breaks down. By being proactive and prepared, they can ensure a seamless experience for their customers.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">3. Technological limitations</h4>



The hospitality industry requires technology tools that cater to their particular needs. Customer interactions happen both online and offline. Generic AI tools might not align with their specific requirements and might therefore create more work than taking off the workload if not set up properly.



Even with the right technology tools to hand the various systems used need to interact and talk to each other. Without those <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/5-common-data-integration-flaws-in-hospitality-tech">integrations</a>, the data flow is disconnected and operators are not able to generate a single customer view.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">4. High implementation costs</h4>



The implementation of these tools often comes at a high cost, making them unaffordable for smaller venues. This situation has forced operators to carefully weigh the pros and cons before deciding if it is worth investing in AI tools.&nbsp;



While AI can bring about significant returns, it may not be a worthwhile investment for all businesses. However, as technology continues to advance, we may see a rise in more cost-effective solutions that cater to a range of budgets.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-summary">Summary</h2>



In conclusion, there are pros and cons of using AI in the hospitality industry that should be taken into account.&nbsp;



Technology can be used to save money, increase efficiency, improve customer experience and enable more precise forecasting. However, many operators are still struggling with the lack of human element when it comes to dealing with customers and their needs.&nbsp;



Furthermore, technological limitations should not be disregarded as they might also cause certain problems when it comes to adapting AI to existing processes.&nbsp;



Finally, before making any investments in AI, operators should evaluate the costs associated with them as this could highly affect their financial situation.&nbsp;



All factors taken into consideration, applying AI technology correctly can prove extremely beneficial for restaurants and the hospitality industry in general.

The Pros And Cons Of Using AI In Hospitality

Vertical: The Future of Video Content for Digital Marketing

It’s GDPR month! Yep, that’s right. Believe it or not, May 25, 2018 is right around the corner.

What&#8217;s so special about that date? Glad you asked. Because that&#8217;s when the <a class="" href="https://www.itgovernance.eu/eu-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">EU General Data Protection Regulation</a> (GDPR) takes effect, which applies to any organisation that handles EU residents’ personal data.
<h2>Why GDPR?</h2>
Ultimately, GDPR is a good thing for privacy. The GDPR law puts personal data back into the hands of the individual. Users will be able to see what data an organisation holds on them, download it, or even request to have it deleted.
Still confused? Here&#8217;s GDPR explained in two minutes:
<iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KzM-XLwgfAc" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
<h2>What Does this have to do with my business?</h2>
Your business falls under GDPR if it:
<ul>
<li>Has an establishment in the EU</li>
<li>Provides goods or services to EU residents</li>
<li>Monitors the behaviour of EU residents</li>
</ul>
Which means that if you have a business in the EU and you&#8217;re offering WiFi for you customers and collecting data , such as email addresses, to verify their connection &#8211; GDPR applies to you. So after May 25, 2018, you’ll need to stay in compliance with GDPR law. Otherwise, you could be facing a fines of up to <a href="https://www.itgovernance.co.uk/dpa-and-gdpr-penalties" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">4% of your revenue or up to 20 million Euros</a>, whichever is greatest.
Yeah, they’re not kidding around.

Stampede WiFi and GDPR

Instagram is all about image. Whether you’re an individual giving a sneak peek into who you are and what you enjoy or a brand looking to engage with new customers, Instagram is the perfect platform to showcase what makes you unique.&nbsp;Keeping the wordcount minimal, you may have noticed that this social platform makes photos and illustrations a priority. Instagram is an entirely visual medium that, if used correctly, can hook audiences so that they become loyal followers.&nbsp;One way to engage your customers is by creating an Instagram Theme.







We believe the most successful Instagram accounts are ones that keep to a particular theme. A theme helps to emphasise a brand’s identity and it also adds to the visual appeal of an account. This helps followers so stay intrigued and engaged.&nbsp;



Further read from our blog &#8211; <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/how-to-take-perfect-food-image-for-instagram/">https://stampede.ai/blog/how-to-take-perfect-food-image-for-instagram/</a>



Before we delve into how you can create an engaging Instagram theme that will work for your business, let’s review what an Instagram theme is, exactly.&nbsp;



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">What Is an Instagram Theme?</h4>



A theme allows you to add consistency to your profile. It’s all about being deliberate with your posts so that you create a “personality” on Instagram that best reflects who you are and what you want to share. To develop a theme that will work for you, first consider what your audiences will find appealing as well as what will best reflect the personality of your business. 



Think of your brand’s colours and the type of messages you would like to communicate (for example, are you a restaurant that likes to keep things fun and trendy or are you an accountant who needs a more formal and serious approach)? Once you know what type of theme you should have, you can use Instagram’s tools to create it. You can use filters and other effects to design a style that works for you.&nbsp;



To help you to draw some inspiration for your own account, we’ll take a look at some different Instagram theme ideas and how they can be applied to engage your customers.&nbsp;



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">8 Instagram Themes to Make Your Feed Unique and Engaging</h4>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Theme One: Consistent Colour Palette</h4>



This is probably one of the easier themes to create and requires little work other than ensuring you stick to a certain colour palette when designing your posts. A consistent colour scheme will automatically present your feed in a cohesive way whilst enhancing the overall aesthetics of your feed.



When executing an Instagram colour palette theme, it does not mean that every post needs to be one colour only. Instead, you can post content that always contains an element of the same colour. This alone will show consistency and generate a theme.&nbsp;



Check out this Instagram account for an example of a consistent colour palette: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/trivago/?hl=en">https://www.instagram.com/trivago/?hl=en</a>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Theme Two: Grid Tile Effect</h4>



This theme requires a little more strategic planning but if you get your layout right, you will certainly knock the socks off of your followers.&nbsp; The idea is to create a larger image or a design on your Instagram feed using individual posts.&nbsp;



This type of theme can have a great impact on audiences and adds tons of intrigue to your account. What’s important to remember with this theme, however, is that each individual post will need to make sense on its own. This way, it will still communicate a relevant message to audiences who have not clicked on your profile.



Find a grid tile effect on this account: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/juniperoats/">https://www.instagram.com/juniperoats/</a>



As a side note, if you choose to go with this type of theme, you will also need to remember to post in groups of 3 so that your design never shifts out of place.



Special tip: The easier and quicker option to create this grid tile effect is to split one big image into individual tiles. 



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Theme Three: White Borders</h4>



Adding white borders to your posts is a clever hack that will make your Instagram feed look more like a photo album or brochure. It’s also another strategy you can use to create eye-catching patterns.&nbsp;



Instagramers have been using this technique for yonks so that they do not have to crop portrait or landscape posts to fit into the square template. Now it is a thematic option that can be used to add intrigue to a feed.&nbsp;



That&#8217;s how the effect of the white borders could look like on an account: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lady.austin/">https://www.instagram.com/lady.austin/</a>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Theme Four: Black and White</h4>



Posting your content in monochrome is another way to maintain a cohesive Instagram theme. This creates quite a “moody” atmosphere, however, so we would only suggest this theme to alluring brands that don’t need colour to communicate a visual message. &nbsp;



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Theme Five: Flat Lay</h4>



This theme is great for restaurants who enjoy showcasing their dishes. Here, you don’t have to use colours or patterns to create a theme. Instead, you can use a consistent “flat” style of photography. &nbsp;



You can easily create this “flat” look by photographing products from above.



An example of the flat lay theme can be viewed here: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/aldiuk/">https://www.instagram.com/aldiuk/</a>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Theme Six: Horizontal Lines</h4>



Another way to catch a person’s attention is to create a pattern using horizontal lines that stretch across an Instagram feed.



An example of a horizontal-type theme can be viewed at the following Instagram account: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/personaljournalapp">https://www.instagram.com/personaljournalapp</a>



This theme (like the grid tile effect), requires you to post in bundles of three again. This means it will take a bit of prior planning.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Theme Seven: Vertical Lines</h4>



This theme is applied similarly to the horizontal theme, just, well, vertically! Many prefer this look to the horizontal layout, however, because it draws the eye downwards &#8211; which naturally encourages scrolling!



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Theme Eight: Checkerboard</h4>



A checkerboard theme is created by alternating different types of content. This effect works well if you post a lot of text posts.&nbsp;

<h3>Want to Try the Next Generation?</h3>
You can register to become part of our Beta testing programe and try out new Connect 3.0, with all its new features, by simply sending us a request through the button below:
{{cta(&#8217;16b1f36f-18b6-4053-8d18-8acaf0bece0f&#8217;,&#8217;justifycenter&#8217;)}}
NOTE: Connect 3.0 has undergone our normal stringent internal testing. However, as it is in Beta, some bugs may still be present. If you come across any, please report them <a class="" href="mailto:beta@stampede.ai?subject=Beta%20Bug" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.
Releasing an update of this magnitude as a Beta is a first for us&#8230; and we&#8217;ll keep doing this going forward as we can get feedback from you  and implement incremental changes quicker.
Connect 3.0 will be in Beta for approximately one month in order to ensure all bugs have been ironed out. It will then be rolled out to all customers.

ANNOUNCING Connect 3.0 Beta

Firstly we’d like to thank everyone who has been in touch already to find out more about using us to help with the contact detail collection.



As promised yesterday, we’d like to share <a href="https://marketing.stampede.ai/in-browser?message_id=mkm_ecac3cea89f5fef728f618e77581decc&amp;profile_id=" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">an example</a> of a fantastic reopening announcement email sent by The Waterway restaurant in the last couple of days. It’s one of the first reopening emails that we&#8217;ve seen but it really stood out.



 It starts with giving customers a taste of what to look forward to when returning. Then goes on to a six&nbsp;point breakdown of the measures they’ve taken to keep everyone safe, followed by a neat list of nine important updates to how things will operate at the restaurant.



 The list is extensive but not overly long. It covers ordering and paying, access to the venue, reservations, data collection and more. Everything that customers will need and want to know in advance.



 We especially like the picture of a staff member in a branded face mask for The Waterway!



 The email is a great showcase of how to reassure customers and generate demand at the same time at the start of your reopening communications. You can view the email in full <a href="https://marketing.stampede.ai/in-browser?message_id=mkm_ecac3cea89f5fef728f618e77581decc&amp;profile_id=" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here.</a>



 If you’re looking to create something similar, <a href="https://stampede.ai/company/#contact" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">get in touch</a> and we can give you a short demonstration of the email builder, including our new preset template about reopening.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-challenge">The Challenge</h2>



A common challenge for hotels is to get access to guest data. Most of the time the&nbsp;data is withheld by Online Travel Agencies&nbsp;and hotels are not able to stay in touch with customers after their stay.



Until recently, The Coal Exchange was part of a hotel chain that wasn’t much invested in driving repeat customers. However, this changed when they became a stand-alone company.



The Coal Exchange wanted to market to their guests directly and turn them into loyal customers moving forward. For this, they were looking for a smart tool that allows them to&nbsp;capture and have control over their own guest data.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-solution">The Solution</h2>



Before signing up with Stampede, Ieuan Davies, Marketing Manager of The Coal Exchange spent some time comparing different companies that offer a data capture platform. He ultimately chose Stampede as it&nbsp;“fits our ethos more than any other company and the whole process from introduction to set up was seamless.”&nbsp;



Within 7 months, they grew their&nbsp;mailing list to over 8,200 customers&nbsp;by asking guests for their contact details when signing up for their WiFi. Ieuan says:&nbsp;“It’s a quick and easy way, exactly what we’ve needed.” From an administrative point of view, Ieuan can now manage all data coming from their various outlets in one single platform. As he acknowledges:&nbsp;“Stampede has saved me time and effort trying to put it all in one place.”
</div>
</div>



The&nbsp;<a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/marketing/">Stampede Marketing</a>&nbsp;platform makes it easy for Ieuan to segment the data to directly market to guests with personalised offers, such as their popular ‘kids eat free’ deal. So far, The Coal Exchange was able to generate over&nbsp;£2,400 in return visits&nbsp;from their email campaigns.&nbsp;



To track when customers redeem their offers, Ieuan attaches&nbsp;<a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/new-stampede-marketing-feature-unique-voucher-codes/">unique voucher codes</a>&nbsp;to the emails. These one-time-only codes&nbsp;“are also a clever tool to stop people from sending the offers to friends.”, he adds.



In addition, Ieuan has also set up an&nbsp;automated birthday email campaign&nbsp;offering customers 10% off their next stay. Another simple way they are increasing customer loyalty without any manual effort.&nbsp;



To further drive direct bookings, The Coal Exchange also uses&nbsp;<a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/loyalty/">Stampede digital stamp cards</a>. Over 450 customers have already signed up for their ‘Fab Five Rewards’ loyalty program, which rewards customers with a free stay upon the 6th direct booking.



Ieuan is also a big fan of the Stampede reporting suite. As he explains: “Some reports from other platforms just give you the very basic information,&nbsp;with Stampede you can go into more depth.&nbsp;For us, this is probably one of the most valuable assets.”&nbsp;



The reports provide him with&nbsp;detailed performance results, which he can report back to the individual departments and take action if necessary.
