Thousands of new businesses are established every day. It’s a rough world and taking care of your new company isn’t always easy, as most of them aren’t profitable enough to grow and make themselves a name on the market. 

<h2>Adaptation</h2>
But why do so  so many companies <a class="" href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/288769">struggling to establish themselves</a>? Some don’t make it due to a lack of funding, others fail because the product isn’t made for the market and another aspect that is often ignored is adaptation. Darwin (amazing dude), already knew that the key to survival is constant adaptation &#8211; and he&#8217;s right.
Even more established companies fail, when they don&#8217;t adapt. This was the case with Atari, Blockbuster, Blackberry, Hummer and many more.
Customers are looking for more than another retail shop, hotel or restaurant. They are looking for someone who offers them a unique experience and a venue that doesn’t compromise their wants and needs. Customers want to be able to work at your &#8211; or your customer’s &#8211; venue, check the latest football scores or send a text to grandma.
Enhance the Experience
Many businesses have recognised that shift and adapted accordingly. They started adding Guest WiFi to their venue to enhance customer experience and give guests the freedom to surf and relax. This adaptation might have happened in time, but is your guest network really adding something to the customer experience?
Top 7 WiFi Mistakes
To make sure you don’t commit a blunder with your guest WiFi, we collected the most common WiFi Mistakes that businesses tend to make and put them all together in this new eBook for you. Make sure you, or your customers, don’t fall into the WiFi trap and keep your business growing and thriving.
Knowing these common mistakes will not only help you offer the best experience to your guests, it will also save you a lot of time and money (as these are usually what business owners lack the most).
Make sure you’re on the safe side and get your eBook today!

The countdown to Christmas starts tomorrow!!&nbsp;

The real countdown is about to begin – Welcome to the Stampede Advent Calendar

79% of smartphone users have their phone on for 22 hours per day. We are now constantly connected and even sleep with our phones, eat with them, and yes…. even take them to the bathroom…. (you know who you are!)

In the marketing world, a new kind of customer has emerged – one that uses the <img decoding="async" style="width: 320px; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; float: right;" title="Stampede Picture Cafe" src="https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/2735287/Blog/phone-1874428_1280.jpg" alt="Stampede Picture Cafe" width="320" data-constrained="true" />internet, social media and is almost always online. They are more resilient to standard marketing practices and expect messages to be precisely related to their interests. Most people think they could not stand a day without WiFi, because, even though most of us use mobile internet on their phones, the data limit runs out quickly. That is why in every place the customer is in, they expect to access the web. But beware, a bad WiFi experience for your customer is a bad reflection on your business.
So, whether you are a marketing manager in a shopping centre or a chain store, or whether you own a small bar, café or restaurant, it is important to think about how you can use this trend and begin profiting from Smart WiFi sharing.
<h4>But where do you start?</h4>
In the first of 2 blogs, here are some great tips for using Smart WiFi to give your customers a great Wi-Fi experience while visiting your business and at the same time boost your bottom line.
 Build competitive edge
Retail environments are busy places with a lot of hustle and bustle. Many customers search for Wi-Fi networks in order to satisfy the basic need of accessing the internet. Most customers expect shops to have a Wi-Fi connection and this has begun to become a standard, meaning those who do not use it, lose the battle for their slice of market share by default. By making Wi-Fi available to your customers, you cannot only increase their comfort, but also attract a new customer base, who could choose your store instead of another one without Wi-Fi access.
 Benefit from sharing WiFi
Is it worth making WiFi available, just so the customers can access it free of charge? The answer is a resounding Yes; so why not be smart about it.
Apart from gaining the competitive edge, you can gain much more for your business. If you invest in Smart WiFi you all-of-a-sudden have a proper analytical marketing tool, which will allow you to gather information about your customers.
 Get to know your customer
Stampede Guest WiFi makes it possible to gather information about every person who connects to WiFi in your venue. You can gather basic demographic data, email addresses or information regarding customer behaviour, for example how frequently people return and how much time they spend in your business. This way, you can change your business internet from a liability into an investment – since no customer will remain anonymous anymore and you can easily monetize the information you gained.

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

Today, online reputation is everything. Within this, TripAdvisor and Facebook can be seen as the major players in the hospitality reputation space. But online reputation is also probably the most difficult thing to control. Once something is published online, it stays there. What if there would be a way of controlling it through your offered Guest WiFi?







<h4 class="wp-block-heading">The importance of online reputation</h4>



When asked by TripAdvisor, 93% of customers said that online reviews impact their booking decisions and that 53% of customers say they won’t visit a venue that doesn’t have any online reviews. 



Additionally, a study by Cornell University found that a 1x increase in a venue’s average user rating on a 5-point scale makes potential customers 13.5% more likely to come along. 



It’s pretty clear that <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/how-to-respond-to-positive-and-negative-customer-reviews-online/">online reputation</a> should be a critical objective for any business operating in the service industry. Especially, as online reviews affect bookings, revenue and much more. Both in the positive and negative direction. So, getting the control back over your online reviews and hence reputation should be your utmost goal.

Get the control back over your online reviews.

</div></div>



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



In order to get the most accurate picture of your guest experience, it’s important to get as much guest feedback as possible. As your online reputation is mainly built based on this feedback. However, if you don’t have your customers&#8217; contact details, how can you do this? 



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Boost your online reputation with your Guest WiFi</h4>



Well, one obvious way is having an automated solution, integrated with your guest WiFi. This would allow you to send emails / SMS to your customers, asking them to review you on TripAdvisor and like you on Facebook. Pretty straight forward. 



With <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/getting-started-with-guest-wifi/">Stampede</a><a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/getting-started-with-guest-wifi/"></a><a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/getting-started-with-guest-wifi/"> Guest WiFi</a>, you offer your customers a <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/engaging-customers-through-wi-fi-marketing/">great WiFi experience</a> whilst they are on your premises. In addition, Stampede now has an integration that will automatically email guests after they have left, encouraging them to leave an online review on TripAdvisor and like you on Facebook. Also, it&#8217;s entirely up to you if you want to send this notification directly after they&#8217;ve left or an hour or so later.



On top of that, Stampede customers have experienced a 200% increase in Facebook likes by offering a smart guest WiFi solution.



Do you want to achieve the same results? Why not contact Stampede and start increasing your online reputation and <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/how-wifi-can-help-boost-guest-reviews-of-your-venue/">get more TripAdvisor reviews</a> and Facebook likes?

Improve Your Online Reputation Through Guest WiFi

Compared: 4 Time-Saving Social Media Scheduling Tools [Updated 2023]

Ready to start building your business through social networks?

Promotion by Recommendation
There is no better promotion than a friend referring to a business. Using the <a href="/blog/press/how-important-is-mobile-marketing">Facebook Checkin feature on Stampede</a> you can post to your clients Facebook feed endorsing your brand/venue. When a user &#8220;Checks In&#8221; that user&#8217;s friends will be notified about their presence at that venue. 
<h3>User Experience</h3>
This is a no-brainer from a user experience standpoint, they get access to Free WiFi using Facebook instantly, no input required. The user will also have the option to opt out of the check-in should they want to.
Inputting information about yourself on a mobile can sometimes be quite tricky, with Facebook Checkin on WiFi we can completely forget the login form by clicking the Checkin using Facebook button.

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Why SMS verification is important?</h4>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>The whole world has a mobile phone number</li><li>Guaranteed deliverability </li><li>Instant validation through modern smartphones</li><li>SMS marketing has a 97% read rate within 15 minutes </li></ul>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Why did we build this?</h4>



We have always validated customer phone numbers as they type it out, but after lots of customer feedback, we realised that more advanced guaranteed SMS delivery would require a product update



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">How does it work?</h4>



After we have run our first validation check on the phone number we will now send that number a unique code. If using a mobile phone the field will automatically populate and that&#8217;s it!

Product Update – SMS Verification

The troubling news:&nbsp;72% of hospitality operators have noticed a dip in visitor frequency&nbsp;recently. But more importantly:&nbsp;59% have also observed an increase in spend per head!



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



While the frequency might go down, customers want to treat themselves whilst they’re out.



So, what’s the best way for hospitality operators to tackle this? Level up your&nbsp;upselling strategy!



Here are two simple techniques you can use to increase spend per head and table.



<h5 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-deploy-marketing-for-pre-visit-upselling">Deploy Marketing For Pre-Visit Upselling</h5>



There are many opportunities to make some additional sales before customers come to your venue.



Start with your&nbsp;booking confirmation email. Make sure to highlight any offers or special packages straight away. Give customers a sneak peek of what they might miss out on and leave them with an&nbsp;easy option to book any add-ons.



On top of that, send an automated SMS (or email) the day before or on the day of the booking. This message should focus on your promotions once again but this time&nbsp;create some urgency, i.e.&nbsp;&#8220;last chance to enjoy our …”, “you don’t want to miss our … special”.



<h5 class="wp-block-heading">2 Quick Win In-Venue Upselling Ideas</h5>



The biggest upselling opportunities present themselves once customers are actually at your venue.



Check out these two proven in-venue techniques that will help you increase spend per head:



<h6 class="wp-block-heading">1) Train your staff for at-the-table upselling</h6>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Use cross-selling and offer pairing recommendations, i.e. drinks or sides</li><li>Make personal staff or customer-based recommendations &#8211;&nbsp;“I love our new …”, “One of our most popular …”</li><li>Try to upsell on high-margin items and suggest the larger option first</li><li>Highlight popular daily or seasonal menu specials</li><li>Make personalised recommendations based on previous visits &#8211;&nbsp;“Same … as usual?”</li><li>Let customers sample drinks</li><li>Offer desserts to go</li></ul>



<h6 class="wp-block-heading">2) Use digital upselling</h6>



The most effective in-venue upselling technique is to&nbsp;push your&nbsp;promotions directly to your customers&#8217; phones. Instead of relying solely on table displays which might not grab their attention.



This digital upselling can be done through a&nbsp;<a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/marketing/#upsell" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">captive portal WiFi solution</a>. Once customers have joined your WiFi you can immediately reach out to them with automated marketing messages.



Using digital tools for upselling also helps you to&nbsp;compensate for any staff shortages and busier periods.

Like many industries, it can be tough to drum up repeat trade in the restaurant business. Especially with the ever-changing high street, the cold British weather not to mention competition from larger chains. The good news is that there are many ways you can create repeat business for your small business. Even better, there are many free restaurant promotions ideas. 







In fact, the beauty of having your own restaurant is that you can get creative, making a <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/5-marketing-technologies-all-restaurants-should-be-using/">strateg</a><a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/5-marketing-technologies-all-restaurants-should-be-using/">y</a> that is much more personal for your customers than a bite at McDonald’s.



People love independent restaurants for their homely feel, especially with excellent hospitality and amazing food. Drawing on these strengths <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/building-customer-loyalty-with-blackbx/">creates a sense of loyalty</a>, helping your brand to become adopted by the local population.



If you own a small to a medium-sized restaurant, here’s our top free advice to promote your restaurant and boost your repeat business:



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Get Social</h4>



It goes without saying that in the digital age, a social presence is a must when it comes to your business. Facebook and <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/rock-your-restaurant-with-wifi-and-instagram/">Instagram</a>, in particular, are great ways to show off your restaurant. Also, another free way of promoting your restaurant. Whether you advertise deals or introduce new items to your menu, it’s an excellent visual tool to get stomachs rumbling and ultimately feet through the door.



Most of all, it keeps <a href="https://econsultancy.com/five-restaurants-with-first-class-social-media-strategies/">your business in the mindset of your customers</a>. Your restaurant goes from being a physical space they may pass on the high street from time to time, to something they are viewing every time they scroll through their feed. It also gives the ability for tagging, inviting others to dine with you or view your posts.



The more your brand becomes a lifestyle and connects with your customers during their everyday lives, the more likely they are to visit. You can even use social media to advertise bookings for big events such as Christmas Day, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, etc. It’s a multifaceted tool that can give a huge organic or paid reach, opening you up to new customers even if you’re closed!



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Special Offers</h4>



Few of us can <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/infographic-how-likely-are-people-to-act-on-promotions/">resist a bargain</a> and the same is absolutely true when it comes to food. Eating out regularly can seem like a bit of a stretch for some, so getting the right deals will help boost repeat business.



Some restaurants have a set menu where every night there is a different deal, such as “a curry and a pint for £5 on Thursdays”, or “buy one get one free burger on Saturdays”. You can completely tailor deals to the type of cuisine you serve and your clientele. The main thing is that it’s a way excellent of attracting customers, and helps create loyalty. Think of <a href="https://www.dominos.co.uk/blog/two-tuesday/">how successful Domino’s two for Tuesday</a> is!



Don’t forget to advertise any deals on posters or boards to attract passing trade also. The best combination is to combine a great deal with a slow part of the week. Give your customers a reason to head out in the rain and come visit you over the bigger chains down the street.



Be proud of what you do differently as an independent restaurant, and don’t be afraid to share it.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Rewards</h4>



From the traditional reward card that gets stamped each time a customer visits your restaurant, to offering a discount each time someone leaves you a review online &#8211; <a href="https://www.marketingdonut.co.uk/customer-care/customer-loyalty/ten-ways-to-reward-loyal-customers">rewards are an excellent marketing tool in themselves</a>.



In terms of getting repeat business, there are many ways you can make rewards that give you just that. For example, patrons can receive a free drink on their 6th visit. Or, a half-price meal if they return twice in one week. You can tailor the deals to make them work for your restaurant.



Here comes another free restaurant promotion input. Have a read in our eBook on how loyalty programs can help you boost your repeat business.

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Themed Nights</h4>



Everyone likes something to look forward to, and <a href="https://restaurantden.com/restaurant-event-ideas/">themed nights are an excellent way</a> to drum up business both repeat and new. You could hold a jazz night and invite a local musician to play, or even a tapas night. Some restaurants even hold murder mystery nights!



The idea is to create a buzz and expand the potential of your restaurant. If people can visit you for a delicious lunch but also return a few days later for a Halloween night or even a poetry reading &#8211; this is repeat business.



The best part about themed nights is that your customers will likely turn up in groups. This means even more new or repeat business is generated.



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



If you own a restaurant and you’re looking to <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/engaging-customers-through-wi-fi-marketing/">increase footfall</a>, it’s time to act now by getting creative. It’s important your business is a place people want to visit more than once in a while, so it’s essential to take steps to make this happen. Our free tips and tricks will help you promote your restaurant more successfully. 



Whether you venture out with themed nights or offer special promotions for your loyal customers, it’s all about getting into the mindset of your patrons. The more customer-friendly your restaurant is, the more likely you are to secure repeat trade.&nbsp;

Free Restaurant Promotions Ideas

Between peak times are probably the most challenging ones in the hospitality industry. What can venues do to&nbsp;fill up empty seats and keep the customer flow running&nbsp;evenly throughout the day? How can you give your off-peak times a proper boost?



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



To bring people in during those quieter times you have to give them a stellar reason, 2 meals for £20 deals that run every week aren&#8217;t enough. You have to create some proper buzz to make those quieter times interesting again.



There are two main ways to look at that can help you&nbsp;make every time a busy time at your venue and boost your off-peak times.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-1-check-out-your-area">1. Check out your area</h4>



It is all about your location. Plus, the fact that people are out and about again. Check out your own local area to find out what is going on during the day and use this to your advantage.&nbsp;



The idea is to&nbsp;target those specific customer groups&nbsp;and get them through the door with offers tailored to their needs.



Some places to watch out for:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Theatre, concert hall&nbsp;&#8211; pre/post-show meal deals</li>



<li>Sport venue&nbsp;&#8211; pre/post-match meal deals</li>



<li>Cinema&nbsp;&#8211; movie-inspired snacks to-go</li>



<li>Gym&nbsp;&#8211; healthy snacks, shakes and smoothies</li>



<li>University, college&nbsp;&#8211; after lecture meal deals</li>



<li>Nursery&nbsp;&#8211; playgroup offers with snacks for kids</li>



<li>Hairdresser, spa&nbsp;&#8211; treat yourself after your treatment offers&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



Think about providing&nbsp;quick fixes&nbsp;for takeaway, some light snacks in the form of sliders or special meal deals during those times.&nbsp;



You can also introduce an&nbsp;early bird fixed-priced menu&nbsp;before 7 pm. This is a great offer for families that prefer to have an early dinner.&nbsp;



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">2. Check out current events</h4>



If you&#8217;re showing sports events in your venue, like the upcoming Rugby Six Nations (<a href="https://www.sixnationsrugby.com/fixtures/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">see timetable</a>), here are some ideas on how to stand out and attract more mid-day traffic.



What about a rugby-inspired afternoon tea including beer as a drink of choice and with a focus on rather carb-heavy snacks? Get some inspiration from&nbsp;<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/whats-on/food-drink-news/meat-heavy-afternoon-tea-designed-21926764" target="_blank">Brewski’s non-traditional afternoon tea offer</a>. In addition, you could come up with some handheld, hearty snacks and sliders that people can easily enjoy whilst watching the game.



Sports events are best enjoyed with some drinks, so introduce an&nbsp;early happy hour&nbsp;around match times. Also, consider a beer pack offer for bigger groups.



And if that’s not the style of your venue, then position yourself as the opposite. Promote your venue as the place that doesn’t have the sport on and where people can enjoy TV-free drinks and meals in a quiet atmosphere. 



Pro tip: Social events apps like <a href="http://getonbloc.com">Bloc</a> allow you to promote your venue and your offers to local customers using geolocation.

2 Ways to Boost Your Off-Peak Times [Updated 2023]

A flaw in WPA2, the encryption protocol used by routers to secure networks, <a class="" href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/oct/16/wpa2-wifi-security-vulnerable-hacking-us-government-warns" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">has been shown to have a massive flaw</a>, leaving networks across the globe open to cyberattacks.

<img decoding="async" class="" style="width: 320px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left;" src="https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/2735287/wifi-security.jpg" alt="wifi-security.jpg" width="320" />Let&#8217;s repeat that &#8211; WPA2, which is the wireless encryption standard used to keep wireless networks secure and used by just about every router in the world &#8211; is no longer secure. In super plain terms &#8211; that means that hackers can now spy on, eavesdrop and capture whatever data they want on just about every wireless network in the world.
The exploit, named KRACK, takes advantage of the fact that some of the encryption algorithms used by WPA2 aren&#8217;t quite as random as they should be and, with enough persistance, a <a class="" href="https://youtu.be/Oh4WURZoR98" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">hacker could eventually break onto the wireless network</a>. Details of the exploit were revealed by the researchers who discovered it at the website <a class="" href="https://www.krackattacks.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Krackattacks.com</a> on October 16.
Here&#8217;s a video made by the researchers that discovered the exploit of how it works.
(Spoiler alert: for the terminally techy only.) 
<iframe loading="lazy" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Oh4WURZoR98" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
This security exploit is present in just about every piece of wireless hardware sold over the past few years &#8211; including that extra fancy internet-connected refrigerator you just bought. Changing your password isn&#8217;t going to do any good.What&#8217;s that? Oh, you think this means you&#8217;re finally going to get around to changing the WiFi password you have hanging on the blackboard above your cash register? Or maybe think of something a little more creative than <a class="" href="https://www.teamsid.com/worst-passwords-2016/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Password123</a>?
So &#8211; yeah, you could say it&#8217;s bad.
<h3>How You Can Protect Your WiFi</h3>
Ok. So we&#8217;ll cut it with all the doom and gloom. There are a couple of bright spots here to takeaway.
<h3>HTTPS is still OK</h3>
<a class="" href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/oct/16/wpa2-wifi-security-vulnerable-hacking-us-government-warns" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">HTTPS (HyperText Transport Protocol Secure) is still secure.</a> This is the type of securityused by most financial and shopping websites like Amazon.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left;" src="https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/2735287/Blog/https-wifi-wpa2.png" alt="https-wifi-wpa2.png" width="244" height="84" />
You know the little lock you see in the URL window when you visit a site? That means that transactions are secured by HTTPS.
So you&#8217;re still good in the hood.
<h3>Automatic Security Upgrades</h3>
Companies that manufacture routers and connection points for use in businesses and public areas have been aware of the exploit for a while and have already started releasing patches and upgrades for their equipment. Companies like <a href="https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&amp;t=126695" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Microtik</a>, <a href="https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/10/severe-flaw-in-wpa2-protocol-leaves-wi-fi-traffic-open-to-eavesdropping/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ubiquiti and Aruba</a> have been pushing out patches automatically for their networked routers.
<h3>Update Your Router Firmware</h3>
If you have a wireless router you got from your cable provider or one that you picked up at the half off bin in the store, you&#8217;ve got some work ahead of you. In order to fix the security vunerabilities, you&#8217;re going to have to upgrade the firmware in your router, what is known as &#8220;flashing&#8221;.
It&#8217;s not quite as difficult as it sounds. You&#8217;ll need to follow your manufacturers diretions &#8211; which means digging through and finding the instructions for the router in the first place. <a href="https://kb.netgear.com/23442/How-do-I-update-my-NETGEAR-router-s-firmware-using-the-Check-button-in-the-router-s-web-interface" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Here&#8217;s an example</a> on how to do this with a Netgear router.
The good thing is that it&#8217;s typically a pretty fast process. The bad part is that, if you mess up, you could brick your entire router. If in doubt, take the router into a computer repair or IT service shop and have them do it for you.
<h3>Keeping Your Business WiFi Safe</h3>
If you&#8217;re a business owner, you&#8217;ve probably long known about the benefits of offering free WiFi for your customers. But, after seeing the security implications of hacks like the WPA2 exploit, you&#8217;re wondering how to keep your business WiFi safe and secure?

As a hotel owner or operator, you know that improving the customer experience is essential to achieving revenue growth. But how can you make sure your customers have the best stay, from start to finish?&nbsp;



With advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), there is now a range of clever tools available to help you provide an unbeatable service and give your guests an exceptional stay.&nbsp;



In this blog post, we&#8217;ll take a closer look at 3 AI tools and how they can benefit your hotel operations.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-1-concierge-tasks">1. Concierge tasks</h2>



Imagine walking into a hotel and seamlessly being guided through the check-in process without having to wait in line. AI tools can massively speed up the process of check-in/out and overcome potential staff shortages. This prevents potential customer complaints from the beginning.



AI tools also come in handy to assist guests with planning their stay. Such as organising travel or event arrangements, making restaurant reservations or ordering room service.&nbsp;



What&#8217;s more, AI can gather customer insights and preferences to create a full customer profile. This information is then used to offer personalised recommendations tailored to each individual for a more enjoyable and memorable stay. The possibilities for using AI as a concierge are endless and new features are added continuously.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-2-ai-revenue-management">2. AI revenue management</h2>



Revenue management is crucial for maximising profits but is often a complicated, time-consuming and manual process. Hotels can now use AI tools to get an edge in the market.



By analysing historical data and taking into account external factors such as market fluctuations, third-party booking platforms, as well as global trends, AI systems can provide accurate forecasting. This allows operators to make smarter pricing decisions and <a href="https://stampede.ai/downloads/the-direct-booking-checklist">drive direct bookings</a>.



For example, they can set dynamic pricing based on demand and occupancy. This enables them to charge more for rooms during peak periods and less during off-peak periods. The result is a more balanced occupancy rate and more revenue overall.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-3-sales-and-mice-travel">3. Sales and MICE travel</h2>



As business travel continues to be an essential aspect of the global economy, companies are constantly seeking ways to attract more clients in the MICE sector.



With the advancement of AI tools, hotels can now utilise this technology to analyse the market and find potential opportunities. This helps them to better approach potential partners and clients. On top, AI facilitates the management of group bookings by pulling all relevant contacts and company accounts into one place.



Additionally, AI can support the content creation of personalised sales pitch desks and presentations that are tailored to the needs and requirements of each client.



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



AI can help bridge the gap between operations and customer satisfaction by streamlining processes for hotel staff and taking over support and assistant tasks.



Hotels that invest in AI tools have an edge over traditional hotels, utilising AI in multiple areas such as concierge tasks, revenue management and sales support.



Not only will these initiatives provide guests with a better experience, but they will also help increase revenue in the long run. As we all know, today’s highly dynamic market requires hotels to be agile and adaptive in order to stay competitive.

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



2.&nbsp;Use&nbsp;different elements and columns&nbsp;to make it easier to read and scan



3. Balance the&nbsp;text-to-image ratio&nbsp;&#8211; general recommendations are 60:40 for a better deliverability



4.&nbsp;Include&nbsp;multiple CTA buttons&nbsp;throughout the email to encourage bookings &#8211; opt for bright colours to make them stand out from the background



5.&nbsp;Use&nbsp;high-quality images&nbsp;to give customers a sneak peek



<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"/>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/1.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="579" src="https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/1-1024x579.png" alt="Christmas template header" class="wp-image-22614" srcset="https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/1-1024x579.png 1024w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/1-300x170.png 300w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/1-768x434.png 768w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/1-1200x678.png 1200w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/1-150x85.png 150w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/1-592x335.png 592w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/1.png 1536w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></figure>



<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"/>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/2.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="579" src="https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/2-1024x579.png" alt="Christmas template main body" class="wp-image-22615" srcset="https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/2-1024x579.png 1024w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/2-300x170.png 300w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/2-768x434.png 768w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/2-1200x678.png 1200w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/2-150x85.png 150w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/2-592x335.png 592w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/2.png 1536w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></figure>



<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.



To finish off, we used the classic&nbsp;image above text layout.&nbsp;This&nbsp;is ideal to showcase all your offers or specials at one glance.
