No doubt, digital tools have provided something of a lifeline for many hospitality businesses in recent years. Those tools come with valuable data that can be used to&nbsp;create a better and more personalised customer experience.



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



However, many still argue that shifting too many interactions toward digital will diminish the overall customer experience. Making things impersonal when hospitality thrives from human interaction.



Over the next few weeks, we will tackle this common myth. Come with us as we explore&nbsp;how you can use data to wow your customers&nbsp;and create a personalised experience using marketing campaigns.



<h5 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-personalised-marketing-recipe">The Personalised Marketing Recipe</h5>



For this, we’ve built a&nbsp;simple 5 ingredient success recipe&nbsp;that you can follow.



To start, we will use the example of a birthday campaign.



<h5 class="wp-block-heading">1) The Data</h5>



First off, what&nbsp;data do you need and where do you get it from?



For our example, you’d need to capture:



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Your customers’ date of birth</li><li>Their email or phone number</li><li>Their first name (at least)</li></ul>



This can be done through your WiFi sign-in, webform, booking platform, etc.



<h5 class="wp-block-heading">2) The Trigger Event</h5>



The second ingredient is the trigger that sends your personalised email/SMS campaign.&nbsp;



In our scenario, the trigger event would be time-based, using the customer’s date of birth. E.g. when customer birthday is 3 weeks away &#8211; send the birthday campaign.



Time-saving tip&nbsp;&#8211; Most often you can&nbsp;automate these campaigns, so they will send by themselves. This is ideal for this birthday example.



<h5 class="wp-block-heading">3) The Messaging</h5>



Messaging is the important bit. It is all about the personal touch here, so include your&nbsp;customers’ names&nbsp;in your campaign and acknowledge their upcoming birthday.



<h5 class="wp-block-heading">4) The Offer</h5>



The goal here is to&nbsp;further entice your customers to come back. Birthday bookings are generally larger and more lucrative too.



This is how your personalised marketing campaign could look like combining the message and offer:



<a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/how-to-create-email-subject-lines-that-increase-open-rates/">Subject line</a> &#8211; [Name] It’s your birthday soon &#8211; we want to celebrate with you!



 Hey [name],



Have you made any plans for your birthday yet?



Why not celebrate your special day with us and make it a day to remember. No matter if you want to book a table for two or host a party, we’ve got you covered.&nbsp;



On top of that, we will treat you with a % discount.&nbsp;



Let’s celebrate &#8211; Book now



<h5 class="wp-block-heading">5) The Outcome</h5>



So, what can you expect to see as a result of those personalised marketing campaigns?&nbsp;



First off, you will get a&nbsp;returning customer&nbsp;that will eventually turn into a loyal one. Second, they will&nbsp;spread the word and bring in even more customers.



In our birthday example, if you can create a memorable experience, you’re not only satisfying your customer but also have the chance to win potential new customers. And they themselves will talk about the experience they have and share it on their socials.



Oh, and with their data, like birth date, this whole process starts over again, and again.



Keep an eye out for our next email to find out how you can apply our personalised marketing recipe to&nbsp;win back lost customers.&nbsp;

A 5 Step Recipe That Creates Profitable, Personalised Marketing [Part 1]

In today’s competitive hospitality industry, delivering an exceptional customer experience is essential. Guests expect more than just good food or a comfortable stay—they want seamless, personalised experiences.



Your booking system should do more than simply manage reservations. By integrating it with a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, you can provide a tailored, data-driven service that exceeds guest expectations.



Here are four practical ways your team can use CRM data to enhance daily service and improve guest interactions.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-anticipating-guest-need">Anticipating Guest Need</h2>



One of the most powerful ways CRM data can elevate daily service is by enabling personalised interactions with your guests. CRM systems track valuable customer information, including dining preferences, visit history, and special requests. By accessing this data, your staff can offer a more personalised service that makes guests feel valued.



For example:



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Accessibility and Seating: </li>
</ol>



If a customer has previously requested a highchair for example, your team can proactively reserve it for them before they arrive.



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdqVcQ1jMYEMTY_gXeuox84a7YjD5Hml_6l-ew9U9tEenG8zvaGfD2AE9I8t73PgFWCyfJfzsCMYiQPq2CRe1quzyegsgTv25CPDFqvsdsGZvvgK3Ey1ZBEVuBdyBP7kJRDCfBOItRs8dedjA5ra0Zwvdtd?key=jhVazIz5ThAWgAdrvjmV4Q" alt=""/></figure>



<ol start="2" class="wp-block-list">
<li>Special Occasions: </li>
</ol>



CRM systems allow you to log important dates such as birthdays or anniversaries. A simple &#8220;Happy Birthday&#8221; from the staff or a surprise dessert can make a lasting impression.



PS: If someone includes the word &#8220;birthday&#8221; in their message, a special cake badge will automatically appear for easy recognition.



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeet6DqApa-xtkp0Qe6m3Howw82YO_bDx317fmSAw60uxrmwSLX_AXG5Z9sLEnbOSRFzBeqCdzgI9i_1zfSEPUbJsqLYtPpsg1sCeSrRgiNB5jaBmPjkaZY0sfcr6hFj5I8AYvtm1QWi22Ev_BXKeEDtURo?key=jhVazIz5ThAWgAdrvjmV4Q" alt=""/></figure>



<ol start="3" class="wp-block-list">
<li>Dietary Preferences: </li>
</ol>



Your CRM can store specific preferences such as gluten-free or vegan options. When the kitchen and wait staff know these details in advance, they can deliver a smoother, more personalised dining experience.



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdIddM721-payB-he5mbnZjwT9dcUFTMPTE8YmeCeq2Qsf9Xs1jSpgYhOcByYEJemb3qITqWHCcndFbC8RpKMm0GvW_hURNt2DRvEvswMv5anDtQWp7AVRlwnQLmHA7ArD1lC_xcEjIkhLsoDLiM-GH2Iyy?key=jhVazIz5ThAWgAdrvjmV4Q" alt=""/></figure>



<ol start="4" class="wp-block-list">
<li>Anticipating Guest Needs:</li>
</ol>



CRM data doesn&#8217;t just enhance the personal touch—it also helps staff anticipate and meet customer needs before they even have to ask. By tracking past behaviours and preferences, your team can predict what a guest might want, improving overall service efficiency.



By predicting and catering to guest needs, your staff can reduce service friction and provide a more enjoyable, efficient experience.



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfNfz8mGcsfbqY_RztV-NovlDALYWR2G43fcdE1fM1wKI50g5iZUDnQ9oV7AJJpFihK22SsUhRBdxXiRSSkAMBeSF8OOC2jUwzDgVY19ljRTfXa9qgLKKoQv-gf0S3cPYb4qMJ-P_FrvyyID8c9hw-BTk2n?key=jhVazIz5ThAWgAdrvjmV4Q" alt=""/></figure>



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



By accessing these insights, your staff can turn ordinary visits into memorable ones, which fosters customer loyalty.



Integrating CRM data into daily operations transforms your team’s ability to deliver truly exceptional service. By personalising every interaction, from recognising special occasions to remembering dietary preferences, your staff can make guests feel genuinely valued.



The power of anticipating guest needs goes beyond efficiency—it creates moments of delight that turn routine visits into unforgettable experiences. These personalised touches not only elevate service but also build long-lasting relationships with your customers, fostering brand loyalty and repeat business.



In a competitive industry, it&#8217;s these meaningful, data-driven connections that set your venue apart and ensure guests return time and again.

4 Ways CRM Data Can Be Used in Day-to-Day Service by Your Staff

The Ultimate Beginners Guide to WiFi Jargon

Untrackable traffic is probably one of the biggest fears of any data-driven marketer.&nbsp;



“Dark social” is an example of such a dreaded source, which has been on the rise over the past couple of years.&nbsp;



We’ve compiled everything you need to know about dark social advocacy and how you can use it to your benefit.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-is-dark-social">What is Dark Social?</h2>



Dark social refers to any web traffic that comes from sharing links that are not trackable. They won’t be picked up by Google because they usually don’t contain any <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/3-clever-tools-that-simplify-how-you-measure-marketing-results">UTM tracking code</a>.



As a consequence the original traffic source remains unknown, instead, those leads will show up as “direct traffic” in your analytics.&nbsp;



What makes this type of sharing so dark is the fact that it happens on private messaging platforms such as chat apps or instant messengers and not on public social media platforms.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why the Channel is Growing</h2>



Recently, there has been a shift in how much people share on social media. This is mainly linked to privacy concerns and how their data is used.&nbsp;



Contrary to social media, private messaging platforms allow for end-to-end encryption, so people can better control their personal information.&nbsp;



Up to <a href="https://www.convinceandconvert.com/social-media/what-is-dark-social/">80% of shares are in fact happening in the dark</a>, probably more than you might have expected.



This is even more so the case in the hospitality industry where people are looking for recommendations from their family and friends. So chances are high that they will share it privately.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3 Ways Dark Social Affect Businesses</h2>



The impact of dark social on businesses can be broken down into 3 main points:



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Untrackablilty</li>
</ol>



As mentioned already, the major issue is that you can’t put an exact number on this type of channel.&nbsp;



There are ways you can measure it to a certain extent, such as through Google Analytics (Source: direct traffic) or by using special tools.



<ol class="wp-block-list" start="2">
<li>Exclusion from the customer conversation</li>
</ol>



The actual content that is shared through dark social remains invisible to companies.



You don’t know what is said about your business. Also, you can’t control the conversation and whether it is in line with your brand voice and values.



<ol class="wp-block-list" start="3">
<li>Lower reach</li>
</ol>



In general, your reach might be limited on dark social. People tend to share within their network, i.e. like-minded people with the same interests and behaviours.



It’s therefore not necessarily a channel to attract a new type of customer.



However, if you look into the demographics, you can reach an older audience as younger customers still tend to share their content on social media.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3 Actionable Tips For More Transparency</h2>



The good news, there are a couple of ways you can increase measurability. It’s all about making your content more traceable in the first place.



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Encourage trackable ways of sharing: add share buttons/links to your content containing <a href="https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/what-are-utm-tracking-codes-ht">referral data</a>.</li>



<li>Chime in on the conversation: create your own community with loyal customers, i.e. a Whatsapp group.</li>



<li>Use <a href="https://free-url-shortener.rb.gy/">URL shortener</a> for social posts: shorter links with UTMs attached look cleaner and are easier to copy and paste.</li>
</ol>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Power of Dark Social</h2>



Taking all the above into account, dark social should definitely not be seen as a threat to marketers.



Even though it is a channel that is hard to control it contributes a lot to your brand awareness and engagement.&nbsp;



Think about it this way &#8211; if customers share your content privately it’s a sign of trust and loyalty. It is a form of unexpected <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/breakdown-3-ways-customers-advocate-your-hospitality-brand">brand advocacy.</a>&nbsp;

Shedding A Light On Dark Social And How It Increases Brand Awareness

As the internet gets “bigger” there’s a constant need for how we interact with it to keep up in performance. People want more, and they want it faster than ever.



Keeping that in mind &#8211; plus a few prickly real-world experiences &#8211; our teams have just completed upgrades to our guest WiFi service.&nbsp;



A great WiFi login is butter smooth, lightning fast, beautifully branded and tastefully personalised. Our latest update levels up all these areas.



Many of you reading this will know that <a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/wifi/">guest WiFi</a> was where <a href="https://stampede.ai/company/">we started back in 2015</a>. Our founder Patrick knew there was a better way to get customers online in hospitality venues. We’ve grown since then, but that mentality is still our driving force.



The other driving force is time. We’ve done this update now (Oct ‘23) so that Stampede users and their customers get the most from the upcoming “golden period” of Christmas.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-highlights">The Highlights</h2>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-speed">Speed</h4>



Three times faster. Or 320% faster to be more accurate. That is the headline result of our recent performance improvements. Customers get online quicker, even in low bandwidth areas.&nbsp;



This results in fewer complaints to staff and less time spent dealing with IT companies. It also means more customers will opt-in to your marketing &#8211; an ideal way to grow your mailing list. <a href="#technicals">Read on</a> to dive into the technical details.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-branding-and-design">Branding and Design</h4>



Consistent branding for your business across all pages with our <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/updates-september-2023">newly released brand kits</a> &#8211; you can read up on them here. Loading, welcome and email validation screens all support brand kits too.&nbsp;



This makes the entire experience more brand-focused, increasing customer recall and making your retention marketing more effective.



A lot of you ask about custom fonts &#8211; this update makes them now available on your WiFi portal and other screens, as per the brand kits.



Lastly &#8211; we’ve made the WiFi service more easily accessible for international customers without the need for them to choose language manually. Using the devices’ locale we automatically change the language in the portal. It’s a nice touch for those of you with regular international customers.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-a-note-on-paid-wifi">A Note on Paid WiFi</h3>



We’re still supporting many businesses who offer a paid WiFi service, and have dedicated a large amount of effort in this update to improving that side of our guest WiFi.



Using paid access we have supported £1.28m for customers across 59,600 unique payments since starting.



To improve the user experience, the updated paid access now looks and feels like a modern e-commerce shop. The goal is to make it easy for more users to get online in these use cases.



Behind the scenes, we have completely refactored the integrations between PayPal and Stripe to give the whole system a fresh start.



Device management on paid access has historically been problematic for some businesses and users. This has also been reconfigured to make it easier for guests/users to share paid access between accounts.



<code>&lt;a name="technical</code>s&#8221;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-getting-technical">Getting Technical</h3>



If you’re here then it’s time to get into the details. How have we taken world-class guest WiFi and made it even better?



Pre-generated everything



We are now pre-rendering every splash page before guests’ devices to speed up loading times. This is also done in all supported languages (14) which means &#8211; at the time of writing &#8211; we’re generating ~80,000 WiFi login pages before people even log in through them.



Bundle size&nbsp;



As all page generation is pre-generated the bundle size of our WiFi feature has decreased. To load a full page now requires ~140 KB of bandwidth &#8211; it used to be 430kb minimum. This means that WiFi portals will load quickly even in the most challenging connectivity environments.



Event-based



The WiFi feature has been moved into its own dedicated infrastructure which means API calls are entirely independent of other Stampede services. Interconnection between this service and Stampede still happens. This dedicated resource simply acts like a unique power source so it no longer shares power with other Stampede functions.



Client authentication



For true cloud-first WiFi hardware vendors &#8211; like TP-Link and Ubiquiti &#8211; we are now authenticating the guests server-to-server, previously done via client-to-server. This drastically speeds up authentication time, getting users online faster.



Streaming components



Components that affect page load speed like the phone number input, Apple Sign-in and Stripe checkout, are now being <a href="https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/routing/loading-ui-and-streaming#what-is-streaming">streamed into the application</a>.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-signing-off">Signing off</h3>



There’s no doubt that this is a significant update. It wouldn’t have been possible without the feedback and input from our customers and partners, so a massive thanks to them.



The depth and detail of this update tell us that even the best always have room to improve. Don’t get too comfortable with the status quo, someone else will be moving the needle elsewhere.



If you want to explore any of these updated features in <a href="https://product.stampede.ai">your Stampede account</a>, or to upgrade your existing guest WiFi, <a href="https://stampede.ai/get-started">our team is here to help.</a>

October Update – 3x Faster Guest WiFi and more

In order to ensure ongoing success, hospitality businesses need to look for innovative strategies that will help them acquire and retain customers, run their operations more smoothly and increase revenue.



More and more turn to Artificial Intelligence (AI), which is a powerful tech tool that can support all sorts of areas in hospitality.



In this blog post, we’ll look at 4 AI use cases for hospitality operators who are serious about getting ahead with technology.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-1-personalised-service-with-ai">1. Personalised service with AI</h2>



Customers crave personalised experiences and services tailored to their specific needs



With the help of highly sophisticated algorithms, AI can segment customer data quickly, analysing it based on patterns, demographics, historical spending, and interactions.&nbsp;



This enables businesses to deliver targeted marketing campaigns that resonate with individual customers. AI also empowers staff to offer a more customised experience based on previous guest behaviour and preferences. This further encourages loyalty and word-of-mouth referrals.&nbsp;



AI can equally help to <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/another-5-step-recipe-how-to-easily-win-back-lost-customers-part-2-of-5">detect and retain lost customers</a> by using pre-defined triggers and employing automated campaigns to bring them back and turn them into loyal customers.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-2-content-output">2. Content output</h2>



With the rise of AI, marketers can craft captivating and converting content quickly and efficiently.&nbsp;



One of the primary benefits is its ability to generate all sorts of marketing content. Common examples are social media posts, emails, and website content. It massively speeds up the creation process and helps marketers save time and resources.



Additionally, the technology can translate content into multiple languages, making it easier to reach international audiences. This is especially handy for hotels.&nbsp;



Another advantage of using AI for content creation is that it can help boost your SEO strategy. By incorporating relevant keywords into your content, you increase your website’s chances of appearing higher in Google&#8217;s search engine results.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-3-ai-powered-sentiment-analysis">3. AI-powered sentiment analysis</h2>



It can be overwhelming to sift through and answer mountains of online reviews and social media comments.



That&#8217;s where AI sentiment analysis comes into play. AI uses algorithms to identify common keywords and interpret customer sentiment. This way businesses can get a better understanding of their customer&#8217;s needs and how they feel about the brand. The information can then be used to identify common trends and issues that customers face and to improve products and services.&nbsp;



AI can also craft automated and customised review responses. Customers&#8217; concerns can therefore be addressed in a timely manner and if needed, passed on to a member of staff to handle them.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-4-chatbots">4. Chatbots</h2>



Hospitality businesses are increasingly turning to chatbots to help streamline customer service and improve the overall guest experience. Plus, they are available 24/7.



Chatbots can assist with a variety of tasks and help overcome staff shortages.&nbsp;



They can provide answers to common questions, take orders for room service or restaurant reservations, and help guests with other enquiries such as housekeeping service. They can even make recommendations based on customer preferences.



Furthermore, Chatbots can be integrated with voice assistants. This allows for a more natural user experience and eliminates the need to type out long commands.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-conclusion">Conclusion</h2>



There are many ways AI tools can support hospitality operators nowadays which makes it worth investing no matter the size of the business.



From providing personalised service, creating more content in less time, and observing customer sentiment more accurately to making use of automated chatbots. All these things combined can result in significant increases in revenue for business owners.&nbsp;



AI is also highly adaptable, so operators can modify their strategy as the situation requires. This ensures that they can be prepared for any change that comes their way.

4 Revenue-Driving AI Tools For Hospitality Operators

Marketing automation on its own is powerful. However, when backed up with a <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/how-to-create-a-hospitality-crm-strategy-that-drives-results">Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system</a> hospitality businesses can take their revenue and customer loyalty to the next level.



This clever tech pairing comes with significant opportunities to engage and retain customers, drive conversions and significantly boost profit margins.



In this blog post, we&#8217;ll explore what marketing automation fueled by a CRM system means and review some best practices as well as real-life examples.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-is-marketing-automation">What is marketing automation?</h2>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-1-1-definition">1.1. Definition</h4>



Marketing automation is a tool for businesses to streamline their marketing efforts and effectively communicate with their customers using personalisation and targeted messaging.



The driver behind this automation is customer data, which is collected and stored in the CRM solution. Many <a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/marketing">CRMs</a> now include a marketing automation feature, allowing for easier campaign management and tracking.



Emails and SMS campaigns are sent out automatically using pre-defined triggers, such as specific customer characteristics or interactions.&nbsp;



Plus, automation saves staff a lot of time and also reduces the risk of human error.&nbsp;



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-1-2-trigger-based-campaign-examples">1.2. Trigger-based campaign examples</h4>



Here are some trigger-based campaign examples hospitality venues should implement.



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>New newsletter subscribers &#8211; a simple welcome message drives engagement and encourages revisits.</li>



<li>Win-back lost customers &#8211; attract them back with a special deal.</li>



<li>Birthday surprise offer &#8211; shows that you value your customers and helps strengthen your relationship.</li>



<li>Online review booster &#8211; an automated post-visit review request email will keep guest feedback flowing.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



The required customer data for those campaigns can easily be extracted from the CRM through segmentation.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-4-key-reasons-to-implement-marketing-automation">4 key reasons to implement marketing automation</h2>



Marketing automation benefits hospitality businesses in a number of ways.



Firstly, it allows nurturing customers towards long-term loyalty through personalised and targeted content. Customers are more likely to feel valued and appreciated when the messages they receive resonate with their specific interests and needs.&nbsp;



Secondly, personalised emails have proven to be more relevant and therefore have a higher conversion rate. In fact, they have a <a href="https://www.campaignmonitor.com/blog/email-marketing/how-personalization-and-automation-can-supercharge-email-conversions/">2.5 times higher click-through rate</a> than a generic email.



Thirdly, marketing automation also provides businesses with additional sales and upsell opportunities based on historic customer interaction in-venue and online.



Finally, once the setup is complete, automated campaigns don’t require much work as they run automatically. This allows your team to focus on other areas of the business.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-best-practice-tips">Best practice tips</h2>



Marketing automation has become an increasingly important tool in the hospitality industry. However, to be truly effective, some best practices should be considered.&nbsp;



Firstly, input from various data sources through your CRM is crucial. By collating data from your tech tools, such as <a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/wifi">Guest Wifi</a>, <a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/loyalty">loyalty scheme</a> and <a href="https://stampede.ai/get-bookings">table booking platform</a>, you can build a comprehensive customer profile.



Furthermore, to make the best use of the data, it&#8217;s important to segment it into distinct customer groups. To make it easier, use the pre-defined data segments provided by CRM solutions.



Finally, operators should regularly check their triggers to ensure their automation work effectively and that customers still receive relevant and timely communications.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-hospitality-operators-succeed-with-marketing-automation">How hospitality operators succeed with marketing automation</h2>



Here are some real-life examples from hospitality businesses that have used their CRM to automate their marketing processes.



<a href="https://stampede.ai/customer/bar-tonic">Bar Tonic</a> has seen astonishing results from their automated birthday emails, offering customers a martini on the house. So far, they’ve generated over £10,000 return visit ROI from it.&nbsp;



Another marketing automation usage example comes from the <a href="https://stampede.ai/customer/signature-pub-group">Signature Pub Group</a>. By automating their review request emails, they’ve managed to collect more than 12,000 reviews in a short period of time.



Marketing automation not only increases sales but is also a real time-saver. For example, <a href="https://stampede.ai/customer/birdhouse-london">Birdhouse London</a> is able to 2 hours per week since implementing it.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Takeaway</h2>



There is no doubt that marketing automation are an essential tool for any hospitality operator that wants to increase customer loyalty.



By laying down the foundation with a powerful CRM system and then leveraging it with personalised messages tailored to specific customer segments, they can make sure that their guests are engaged and keep coming back.&nbsp;

We’re pleased to share with you the latest feature addition to our marketing platform: unique voucher codes.



In the past, conversion tracking between online marketing and offline conversion used to be a guessing game and many events were simply missed.



So far, Stampede has already closed a big gap with businesses being able to track returning in-venue visitors based on WiFi interaction. However, until now it wasn’t possible to record singular campaign conversion, i.e. matching customers who came back to the venue (to redeem their voucher) with the corresponding marketing campaign.



Unique voucher codes will allow you to do this. They help you better understand how many conversions your campaigns get by linking your vouchers to the emails you’ve sent. It’s a powerful and effective way to increase customer spending and reporting accuracy.



No more matching codes and campaigns, no more rough ideas of what worked (or didn’t). Just easy digital marketing.



<h5 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-it-works">How It Works</h5>



Get started by creating a new voucher in the Stampede Growth section. Choose a name, redemption amount as well as expiry date and include a short description.

Now head over to <a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/marketing/">Stampede Marketing</a> and enable voucher codes for your campaigns. You can then build promotional emails which will include a unique code for each customer in the audience. These one-time-only codes will also prevent customers from using them multiple times.

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



Each voucher code will be automatically attached to the email or SMS and allows for super accurate conversion tracking. Once customers redeem the voucher at your venue, you will be able to track each conversion back to your individual campaigns via the code.



To access the results of voucher code campaigns, head back to the Growth section in Stampede. Here you will see exactly how many conversions your campaigns are bringing in. 



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Proven Campaign Ideas</h4>



To get started here are some campaign ideas to increase revenue and nurture customer loyalty.



<h6 class="wp-block-heading">Welcome Campaign</h6>



When a customer signs ups for your newsletter on your website, you can automatically send them a welcome discount voucher code. Once they redeem, you can track their full journey from their first online interaction to an offline in-venue visit.&nbsp;



<h6 class="wp-block-heading">Birthday Campaign</h6>



Personalised marketing is a great way to deepen your customer relationship and keep customers coming back. One example of these simple but effective campaigns is birthday emails with personalised vouchers attached.



<h6 class="wp-block-heading">Win-Back Campaign</h6>



Retain customers who haven’t been at your venue for a while and offer them a discount upon their next visit. If they redeem you can further engage them with additional offers, etc.



Also, make sure to set up an automated reminder email if the voucher hasn’t been redeemed after a certain time.&nbsp;



<h6 class="wp-block-heading">VIP Club Campaign</h6>



In this case, your vouchers give your loyal customers access to exclusive rewards and benefits, i.e. free or discounted merchandise. You can use this campaign in combination with special events, such as launch parties or celebrations.



Unique voucher codes are now live in Stampede, you can log in and use them right away. If you have any questions, <a href="https://h.stampede.ai/meetings/stampede/demo">reach out to our team</a> who are happy to help.

New Stampede Marketing Feature – Unique Voucher Codes

Grow Your Coffee Shop With Free WiFi And A Captive Portal Solution

We&#8217;re excited to introduce Marketing Workflows, a powerful new feature within our <a href="https://stampede.ai/get-started/marketing">Marketing CRM</a> that lets you create automated, personalised guest journeys based on real-life actions — not just digital signals.



Here’s everything you need to know.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-is-it">What is it?</h4>



Marketing Workflows is our latest feature, designed to help hospitality venues turn guest behaviour into meaningful, personalised marketing. Instead of relying on clicks or opens, you can now trigger actions based on real-world activity like bookings, walk-ins, or birthdays.



It’s a tool that helps you stay connected to your guests at the right time, in the right way. Whether that means sending a thank-you message after a visit, re-engaging someone who hasn’t been back in a while, or setting up a journey for guests who book online, you can set it all up to run automatically.



This is more than just automation though. It’s about delivering the kind of timely, relevant communication that builds loyalty and drives repeat visits – without the manual work.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-we-ve-built-it">Why we’ve built it</h4>



Most marketing tools are built for online businesses. They focus on link clicks and open rates, which are helpful, but not the full picture in hospitality. Here, the real value is in what happens inside your venue — when someone visits, books a table, or logs into your <a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/wifi">Wi-Fi</a>.



We built Workflows to give hospitality teams a tool that speaks your language. Something flexible enough to handle real-world triggers and simple enough for anyone on your team to use. You shouldn’t need to be a marketer to run great marketing.



This gives you a better way to follow up with guests, stay top of mind, and encourage repeat visits with less manual effort.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-it-works">How it works</h4>



Everything starts in the drag-and-drop builder. On the left-hand side, you’ll find your workflow dashboard, which helps you create and manage each flow.



Start by clicking “Add Trigger” in the dashboard. This defines when your workflow begins and creates the Start Node, which is the starting point of the journey.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="579" src="https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot-2025-06-26-at-15.34.22-1024x579.png" alt="Workflow start page" class="wp-image-23756" srcset="https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot-2025-06-26-at-15.34.22-1024x579.png 1024w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot-2025-06-26-at-15.34.22-300x170.png 300w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot-2025-06-26-at-15.34.22-768x434.png 768w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot-2025-06-26-at-15.34.22-1536x868.png 1536w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot-2025-06-26-at-15.34.22-2048x1158.png 2048w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot-2025-06-26-at-15.34.22-1200x678.png 1200w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot-2025-06-26-at-15.34.22-150x85.png 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



Click the starting node, then choose “Add next node.” From there, you’ll see a list of actions and options you can add to your flow, such as:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Add a tag to the contact </li>



<li>Send an email </li>



<li>Pause the workflow for a set amount of time </li>



<li>Add conditions, including: 
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>If an email has been opened </li>



<li>If a link in the email has been clicked </li>



<li>If the contact has a specific tag </li>
</ul>
</li>



<li>Add event-based waits, such as: 
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Wait for a booking to be created </li>



<li>Wait for a Wi-Fi session to begin </li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>



Each step connects visually, so you can map out your journey with complete clarity.

</figure>



If your workflow includes sending emails, you can create templates by clicking the Email Templates link in the dashboard. Everything lives in one place, so it’s easy to build and manage your campaigns without switching tabs or systems.



Whether you&#8217;re creating a simple re-engagement flow or a more advanced customer journey, it’s all built to be intuitive and flexible.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-when-it-s-available">When it’s available</h4>



Marketing Workflows is live now. You can start using it today to build automated guest journeys that help turn one-time visitors into regulars.



Want to see it in action? Book a <a href="https://stampede.ai/demo">demo</a> and we’ll show you how it works, with examples tailored to your venue.

Did you know that over&nbsp;<a href="https://www.redeye.com/resources/sms-marketing-vs-email-marketing-who-wins-the-battle-for-effectiveness/">97% of SMS messages are read within 15 minutes</a>?



Let’s assume that you’ve got a last-minute cancellation at your venue and want to fill in the empty space in the evening.



If you send an email to your customers at lunchtime, there’s only a small chance you’ll fill that cancelled booking.&nbsp;



However, if you use SMS and combine it with an enticing offer, your chances are much higher.



<h5 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-increase-sales-with-sms-marketing">Increase Sales With SMS Marketing</h5>



A while ago, we shared some SMS marketing tips and how SMS can generate a better response compared to email alone.



Read the full article <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/how-sms-marketing-drives-10x-more-revenue-than-email/">here</a>.



Here are&nbsp;5 key takeaways&nbsp;from the article:



<ol class="wp-block-list"><li>Quick set up &#8211; short text, no images</li><li>Immediate delivery and higher engagement &#8211; reach customers where there are</li><li>For best results: keep your messages simple and follow ‘what-where-when-how’ (get 10% off this Friday, simply show this CODE to our staff)</li><li>Ideal channel for promotional boosters and reminders</li><li>Always include a call-to-action and URL to a landing page, i.e. booking platform</li></ol>



<h5 class="wp-block-heading">The Combined&nbsp;Power of SMS &amp; Email Marketing</h5>



The most important takeaway, however, is that it’s not a question of email vs. SMS marketing. It’s about&nbsp;using them in tandem&nbsp;to get the best out of both channels.



There are some factors to consider when picking the right channel: the&nbsp;type of campaign, the timeline for your promotion and your audience.&nbsp;



For example, SMS campaigns are very effective for&nbsp;time-sensitive messages. Such as the last-minute availability offer that you could send to your local and regular customers.



If you want to&nbsp;keep customers updated&nbsp;about what’s going on at your venue, email, of course, is the medium to go for.



SMS can do more than just reminders and booking confirmations. Stay tuned for <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/3-clever-ways-to-use-sms-campaigns-to-scale-up-your-marketing-roi/">part two of this series</a> to get additional converting SMS campaign ideas.



In the meantime, if you want to start sending your first&nbsp;<a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/marketing/#sms/?utm_source=zoho&amp;utm_medium=email" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SMS campaign</a>, our team is happy to give you a hand if needed.

<h5 class="wp-block-heading">1) Be Smart And Plan Ahead</h5>



The biggest event (football World Cup) is colliding with the busy Christmas period this year. Careful&nbsp;forward planning will be a huge help&nbsp;here, allowing you to stay focused on daily operations during the busy period.



Here’s what you can do to clear your schedule ahead:



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Create your own email/SMS templates and re-use them for various sports events</li><li>Prepare content and offers well in advance</li><li>Start promoting booking offers and deals early on &#8211; schedule your campaigns</li><li>Use email and SMS automation to send booking reminders</li></ul>



A winter World Cup also means thinking outside the usual beer garden experience. Find a balance to blend football vibes with a festive atmosphere, catering to both customer groups.



Segment your database&nbsp;accordingly to make sure you reach the right audience with the right offers for better conversions. Allow them to opt out if they’re not interested in certain campaigns.&nbsp;



<h5 class="wp-block-heading">2) Pre-Booking Opportunity</h5>



<a href="https://secureservercdn.net/160.153.138.71/02h.c37.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/KAM-x-FANZO-Power-of-Sport-Mar-22.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">29% of customers want to pre-book</a>&nbsp;a table to guarantee the best view. This is your chance to secure bookings well in advance and to bring in larger groups.&nbsp;



Combine it with enticing limited-time offers and package deals to get customers to book early on.&nbsp;



<h5 class="wp-block-heading">3) New Customer Opportunity</h5>



When looking for a potential venue to watch a match,&nbsp;<a href="https://secureservercdn.net/160.153.138.71/02h.c37.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/KAM-x-FANZO-Power-of-Sport-Mar-22.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">82% of customers turn to Google</a>. Be sure to keep your&nbsp;<a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/5-ways-to-make-sure-your-business-is-not-missed-on-google/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Google My Business</a>&nbsp;and website updated with important information.&nbsp;



Get feedback from staff on what customers ask about most by email, phone and in person. Use that to add relevant content to your listing and website.&nbsp;



Regular social media posts&nbsp;are also great to feature your special venue highlights, i.e. amount of screens, sound system, etc. Pin your posts to your profile whilst the events are ongoing.



Another revenue opportunity comes from leveraging your loyal customer database. People tend to&nbsp;<a href="https://secureservercdn.net/160.153.138.71/02h.c37.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/KAM-x-FANZO-Power-of-Sport-Mar-22.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">watch games in groups of 4</a>.



So, send out special deals for group bookings to your loyal customers. When they bring along their family and friends, you’ll gain new customers and the chance to retain them down the line.&nbsp;



<h5 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-4-upsell-opportunity">4) Upsell Opportunity</h5>



Given the length of most live sports events,&nbsp;<a href="https://secureservercdn.net/160.153.138.71/02h.c37.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/KAM-x-FANZO-Power-of-Sport-Mar-22.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">44% of customers spend more than 3 hours</a>&nbsp;in a venue. Take advantage of smart technology to increase spend per head whilst they’re in your venue.



For example, order and pay apps can dramatically&nbsp;<a href="https://www.flipdish.com/gb/resources/blog/want-to-make-more-money-go-digital" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">increase average order value by 10-30%</a>. Even more so if customers can open a digital tab.



<a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/3-quick-tips-on-upselling-to-increase-order-values/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Digital upselling</a>&nbsp;allows you to automatically send offers and deals directly to your customers&#8217; phones once they’ve signed up to your Guest WiFi (working on a captive portal).&nbsp;

<h5 class="wp-block-heading">Making Of Our Christmas Templates</h5>



Here’s how our Christmas template is put together in more detail.



What makes this template so quick to assemble are the building blocks you can just drag and drop to the email.



<h6 class="wp-block-heading">The Header</h6>

<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h6 class="wp-block-heading">The Main Body</h6>



For better readability and conversion, we’ve used a&nbsp;‘z’ pattern layout&nbsp;at the beginning.



It moves the readers&#8217; eyes in an alternating way between image and text and finishes with a call to action.



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>

<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



To break up the email, we&#8217;ve added an&nbsp;image with a text&nbsp;overlay&nbsp;element, which also brings an additional dynamic to the whole layout.
