In recent months, we’ve been introduced to a growing number of other hospitality apps via new and long-term customers. It’s exciting to see the value our customers get from connecting more data sources into Stampedes and we want to enable more of it.&nbsp;



To do this, we’ve launched a new app marketplace to make it easier to centralise more customer data in Stampede. As part of this, we also released a new Developer Portal to create an easier way of connecting new data sources.



This is a truly open marketplace for hospitality apps to get interconnected. What we mean by that is it moves beyond the realms of outdated file transfers and account managers manually handling the data behind the scenes on behalf of operators. It&#8217;s real-time so data moves smoothly between apps and Stampede as it happens.



In this update, we&#8217;ll look at how the new marketplace can enhance your marketing efforts and also how app developers can use it to build connections with Stampede, delivering more value to their operators.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-for-operators">For Operators</h2>



The hospitality industry requires smart tools that can streamline complicated operations and help the business grow. The app marketplace connects your external data sources into a single system.



By centralising marketing data apps all in one place, the platform offers greater visibility and easier access to the data. This enables operators to manage their data more effectively, making sure all aspects of their marketing are in one place, they can save time without needing to manually import and export data from various systems. This also lowers the GDPR breach risks of handling customer data.



By connecting other hospitality apps and data to the ecosystem, operators can supplement their current tools by leveraging Stampede&#8217;s suite of marketing, data analytics, and automation. For example connecting your table booking platform and order-to-table app into Stampede, along with existing tools in there, helps you streamline repetitive tasks, saving you precious time and resources.



Apps already on the marketplace include OpenTable, Roller, and Storekit. Integrating with these applications, and others provides a substantial boost to your marketing campaigns by simplifying operations and making data more accessible.&nbsp;



This makes it possible to create a flawless, end-to-end marketing strategy that can be tracked in real-time. By monitoring all marketing performance data in one place, companies gain critical insight into which strategies and tactics work, and which do not, saving time and helping inform smarter decision-making.



Here is a sample of apps currently available for integration:



Mailchimp Campaign Monitor Airship Storekit Loke Toggle ResDiary OpenTable Roller Access Tonic / DesignMyNight Zapier Stripe Paypal HartPMS



<a href="https://product.stampede.ai">Log into your account,</a> click your account icon on the bottom left hand menu and head to the App Marketplace to set up your connections.



If you would like to request another app for the Marketplace, get in touch with one of our team.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-for-developers">For Developers</h2>



Stampede&#8217;s portal offers a dedicated space for app developers to connect their products via Rest API.&nbsp;



Developers can access open-source tools and an extensive knowledge base that provides comprehensive support to ensure their apps operate smoothly.&nbsp;



Head to <a href="https://developer.stampede.ai">developer.stampede.ai </a>to find out more and begin an integration. There you can learn which sources of data to transfer into Stampede such as guest contact details, order information and venue information to aid marketing segmentation.



This ecosystem provides developers with the necessary support to create connections to Stampede, which is vital in growing their businesses and providing value to their clients.&nbsp;



Our in-house development team are also on hand to help. We are currently looking to recruit new app partners, please <a href="https://stampede.ai/partners">contact us</a> if you are interested in working together.

A new kind of marketplace for hospitality apps

24,809,748 &#8211; that’s the total number of emails that our customers sent using Stampede in 2022!&nbsp;



Big data like this is cool, but we’re more interested in big results.&nbsp;



The actual power of email marketing comes from the data it tells. So we dug deeper into this data to compare the performance of those emails to the (former) industry average.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The State of Hospitality Email Marketing in 2023</h2>



Hospitality email marketing in 2023. It’s not looking great for most. The hospitality industry is criminally underserved when it comes to high-quality email marketing tools. Especially, if you compare it to other industries like retail, eCommerce and so on.&nbsp;



As a result, email marketing is underutilised and treated as a pariah, an outcast of marketing channels.



Now, it has been another tough year for the industry. Many operators were looking for ways to stay in touch with customers to keep the revenue stream up.&nbsp;



Usually, that’s where email marketing comes in, with an average ROI of <a href="https://www.oberlo.co.uk/blog/email-marketing-statistics">$40 for every $1 </a>spent. It is possibly the most reliable tool that allows businesses to connect with their customer to keep them coming back.&nbsp;



However, to achieve maximum results, a customer database is required, which is easily built with the right tech tools.



And that’s where the problem lies. Data is worthless without the right tools to hand to work with it.



So the first key takeaway here is: if the tools provided would be a better fit for the industry and its needs, more would get the big benefits from email marketing.



Before we dive into the 2022 email marketing numbers in more detail, time to bust one common myth.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Myth #1 &#8211; Emails Are Not a Thing Anymore</h2>



A common objection people have to email marketing is that it’s a channel of the past and no one is really using it anymore. And the stuff that comes through might not be of the best quality, so people will probably ignore their emails anyway.&nbsp;



Numbers tell a different story:



In 2022 <a href="https://www.oberlo.co.uk/blog/email-marketing-statistics">over 333.2 billion emails</a> were sent and received EVERY. DAY.



<a href="https://www.constantcontact.com/blog/email-marketing-statistics/">61% of customers actually want to receive promotional emails</a> from their preferred brands.&nbsp;



So, if <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/3-time-saving-newsletter-tips-to-keep-people-engaged">done right</a>, your chances of standing out in a busy inbox are still better than you do on social media.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-2022-key-email-marketing-figures-compared">2022 Key Email Marketing Figures Compared</h2>



For 2022 the <a href="https://www.campaignmonitor.com/resources/guides/email-marketing-benchmarks/">average industry</a> open rates for emails were 20%.



What does that tell us? If you have 1,000 people on your mailing list, 200 of them will open it. You probably reckon that’s not worth all the effort.&nbsp;



However, when the open rate is nearly 50%, that’s when you can’t afford to avoid this channel any longer.&nbsp;



So, let’s have a look at how average results from Stampede users compare to the average industry numbers when it comes to key email marketing 2022 figures.



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



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="633" src="https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Email-performance-bar-chart-1-1024x633.png" alt="" class="wp-image-22884" srcset="https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Email-performance-bar-chart-1-1024x633.png 1024w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Email-performance-bar-chart-1-300x185.png 300w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Email-performance-bar-chart-1-768x475.png 768w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Email-performance-bar-chart-1-1536x950.png 1536w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Email-performance-bar-chart-1-2048x1266.png 2048w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Email-performance-bar-chart-1-1200x742.png 1200w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Email-performance-bar-chart-1-150x93.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



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



Stampede emails have a higher delivery rate than the industry average with open rates being 2x higher and click rates even 6x higher. That’s a significant difference for all figures.&nbsp;



Why is that?



Customers expect a personalised experience, both in-venue and digitally. That’s when the data is needed.



With Stampede, you get access to multiple data sources from across the digital customer journey, which is automatically fed into the marketing tool.&nbsp;



Using this combined data they can foster an engaged customer mailing list. Through clever segmentation and automation, they can then send personalised campaigns that achieve much higher conversion rates.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Myth #2 &#8211; Tracking Results is Hard </h2>



Another common myth in email marketing is that people think it’s harder to show results to prove campaigns are delivering.



However, compared to other digital marketing channels such as social media, emails deliver much more tangible results that go beyond engagement, likes and views.&nbsp;



With the right setup, results can easily be tracked in real money spent.



It’s also a lot easier to set up this kind of tracking than conversion tracking on Google/Meta etc. Many of these require someone with good web development skills, but tracking email results in hospitality needs no coding skills at all.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stampede Average Campaign ROI</h2>



The Stampede Marketing Suite allows for such detailed campaign reporting where users can track the results based on returning customers.



For 2022, we measured 13.8 million in-venue visits from those that received email campaigns via Stampede.



This means that more than half of the customers getting emails revisited the venue within 12 months! A reliable, steady flow of repeat business like this is going to be critical for success in 2023.



If each of those visitors spent £30 that&#8217;s £414,000,000 worth of transactions!



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Myth #3 &#8211; Too Much Work</h2>



Another big blocker for email marketing is the assumption that it is too time-consuming and too difficult to get right.&nbsp;



Plus, once the email is out it’s out, which causes insecurities, especially for new and non-marketing operators.&nbsp;



Whereas a social post can be deleted if needed and seems to be quicker to set up, so that’s where they’d rather focus.



However, creating and sending great email content is no harder than creating social media posts. Best tools make it easy for anyone to build an email with templates, functional drag-and-drop builders and great customer support.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-sector-success-stories-in-2022">Sector Success Stories in 2022</h2>



Here are 5 examples of how Stampede customers have successfully used email marketing in 2022.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-2023-email-marketing-forecast">2023 Email Marketing Forecast</h2>



Looking ahead to what 2023 might bring, we can say one thing for sure &#8211; email will remain the number one marketing channel for return on investment. 



Especially, for smaller hospitality brands email will become an integral part of their success strategy moving forward as tools become easier to use.



The rising trend of personalisation will continue and it will get even more powerful as more industries will figure out how to combine customer data.



Lastly, more businesses than ever will move away from big providers like Mailchimp towards industry-specific tools that meet their tailored needs.

2022-23 Email Marketing Report – Get 2x Higher Open Rates

Internet access and provision is essential for nearly every successful business these days. Customers and clients love fast and reliable guest WiFi. But if you’re just starting out, or you’re upgrading your WiFi, getting your head around the WiFi jargon can take up time better spent running your business. Here’s an explanation of the terms you may come across to help you provide the best WiFi for your business and customers.



ISP &#8211; Internet Service Provider An Internet Service Provider (ISP) is a company that supplies the Internet connection into a venue. The router provides the gateway between the Internet and all the devices via this connection. The ISP is often referred to as the ‘provider’. Every organisation or home with Internet access has an ISP. 



Broadband Broadband is a type of high-speed Internet connection which is now the standard way to connect to the Internet. Broadband packages come in different forms including cable, ADSL, and mobile.



Cable broadband is provided through fibre-optic cables. These provide faster broadband speeds than ADSL. Landline and digital television services can also be provided through the cable. Your ideal speed depends on your business. You should consider fast fibre-optic cable with a package that includes unlimited downloads if you are providing guest WiFi in premises such as cafes and bars. 



In the UK, ADSL broadband is provided through existing BT phone lines. The speed depends on your distance from your local telephone exchange. The closer you are to the exchange, the faster the broadband. 



Mobile broadband is transmitted via mobile phone networks. Users need a mobile phone signal to access the broadband.



LAN &#8211; Local Area Network A local area network (LAN) is when two or more computers are connected together in a building using software or hardware. A LAN can be wired or wireless. The administrator of the LAN will decide what can be shared and what can’t be on the network.



You can set up multiple networks on the same broadband connection, with different bandwidths for each one. For example, you might have one network for staff and one for customers. You’ll need plenty of bandwidth for your customers! You set these up through the router.



Your router sends data from the Internet cable to a device and acts as a wireless access point so that the data can be shared through radio signals instead of another cable. It is plugged into your landline or cable line. When running a business with guest Wi-Fi, you’ll need a router that allows for multiple networks. Routers may come with various security tools, for example, firewall management and intrusion detection.



IP Address IP means Internet Protocol. There are two types of IP address: internal and external. An internal IP address is a series of numbers that identifies your router connection. 192.168.1.1 is a common one used for routers. To change your router settings, you need to know your IP address. 



The easiest way of finding it is to look at the back of your router. Most have a sticker or card with all the information you need for logging into its settings, including the IP address.



An external or public IP address is used across the entire Internet to locate computer systems and devices. Your Internet service provider assigns you an external IP address when you connect to the Internet. When your web browser requests a webpage, it sends the IP address along with it. Your provider uses external IP addresses to determine which customer uses which website. 



Bandwidth Bandwidth refers to the volume of information per unit of time that an Internet connection can handle. Bandwidth is expressed in bits per second (eg, 50 Mbps is 50 million bits per second). However, it can be expressed in other ways and it’s important to check which unit is being used.



Businesses will vary on how much bandwidth they need. If you’re providing guest WiFi, you must get this right. Customers will not tolerate poor Wi-Fi connections and your reputation will suffer. Monitoring usage is essential in understanding how much bandwidth is being used, and when. 



WAP and Hotspot A wireless access point (WAP) is a hardware device on a local area network that allows WiFi devices to connect to a wired network. The WAP usually connects to a router although it may be included in the router itself. WAPs feature radio transmitters and antennae. 



The hotspot is the physical location where Wi-Fi access is available. Putting up signs with a Wi-Fi symbol is a helpful way of letting customers know how and where they can log on.



Cloud Controller Your WAP can come with a hosted cloud controller service. Cloud computing simply means that you store and access data over the Internet rather than on your hard drive. A cloud controller lets you manage your WiFi system from anywhere as well as managing multiple sites with a single log-in.



Mesh Network WiFi mesh networking kits are often sold to businesses and consumers to address WiFi ‘dead zones’ because they blanket a building or home with WiFi. Having a mesh network means that you don’t need to use range extenders or extra access points. 



The kit, which normally replaces your existing router, includes nodes. One node or router connects to the Internet through your modem. This node and each of the other satellite nodes then communicate with each other. Cover is expanded with each new node. Mesh networks are easy to set up. You manage the system, for example, to set up a guest network, by using an app.



Captive Portal If you want to set up guest Wi-Fi, you’ll need a <a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/wifi">captive portal</a>. A captive portal is a webpage that a user needs to view and interact with before being given access to a public WiFi network. It is mainly used for authentication purposes and is usually in place for free or chargeable WiFi hot spots e.g. business centres, cafes, bars and hotels. 



The captive portal may feature a branded log-in page, conditions of access, surveys, and payment options. The page with the log-in details is sometimes called the splash screen. The landing page is the page the customer or guest gets put through to after they log in.



The trick to a great captive portal is making it easy for the user while getting benefits for your business or service. Through your captive portal, Stampede can turn your guest Wi-Fi into a money making asset for you. It will also give your customers a great Wi-Fi experience. You can grow customer loyalty, stay compliant with the law, increase your social media presence, and build your brand.



Wireless security Wireless security, sometimes referred to as wireless network security, <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/take-the-risk-out-of-guest-wifi/">protects a wireless network from unauthorised access</a>. Understanding the common acronyms will help you choose the best security for your network. 



WPA2, WPA and WEP are the three encryption protocols you will probably come across. WPA2 is the most secure of the three. When it is enabled with its strongest encryption option, data traffic is scrambled with the most up to date encryption standards. This is the one you should use. If you are providing guest Wi-Fi through a captive portal, you have to use it. 



WEP, introduced in the late 1990s, is easily hacked and should not be used. WPA replaced WEP, and is an option if a device does not support the more up to date WPA2. 



<a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/wpa3-the-next-generation-in-wifi-security/">WPA3 will replace WPA2</a> and the transition has already started, although it will take time to roll out. WPA3 has significant new security features and will be important for open public Wi-Fi networks. However, a WPA3 enabled router will need WPA3 compatible devices (laptops, phones) to take advantage of the new features.



MAC Address – Media Access Control Address A media access control address (MAC address) is a unique code assigned by a manufacturer to every piece of hardware that connects to the Internet. A MAC address ensures each device is unique and allows data to be passed among hardware devices. 



Many people will never need the MAC address to use their devices. However, some providers may require registration of the address to ensure those who are paying for the service are the only users who can connect. If you do need it, you can normally find it on a sticker on the device. The address is composed of six pairs of numbers/letters separated by colons. If the device is portable, it may be printed inside the battery compartment.

The Ultimate Beginners Guide to WiFi Jargon

It’s no secret that pubs and bars in the UK are struggling, and that many have been forced to close their doors. Challenges include rising alcohol taxes, changes to business rates and a new generation that doesn’t drink as much. That’s the narrative at least, and it’s why CAMRA continues its commendable ‘Save the Local’ campaign.



However, a funny thing happened in 2019. For the first time in a decade, the number of pubs and bars in the UK actually went up instead of down – according to Official Labour Market Statistics from the ONS/Nomis.



Between 2010-2018, the UK had a net loss of 5,855 pubs, an average of 732 per year. However, there was a net gain of 320 pubs in 2019, the first time that the number of pubs in the UK has increased for a decade



We believe that pubs and bars are of vital importance to UK society and its economy. It’s therefore imperative that we analyse these market statistics and try to understand what they mean to the licensed trade industry. Is this increase a statistical anomaly or does it signpost a reversal of fortunes for the wider industry? Perhaps it is evidence that pubs and bars have started to adjust to economic and cultural changes in the UK?&nbsp;&nbsp;



In this post we analyse pub growth, the regions and countries experiencing the highest net growth (and loss), the types of pubs growing fastest and some of the likely determining factors. We also look at why the upward trend doesn’t extend to licensed clubs, which continue to fall in number.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Pubs are on the rise</h4>



The UK has lost 732 pubs per year on average since 2010, so 2019’s net gain of 320 represents a swing of nearly 1,000 compared to previous years. This is quite a remarkable turnaround, especially given the systematic year decline this decade and numerous challenges facing pub operators. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-style-default"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="347" src="https://stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/ANNUAL_CHANGE_IN_PUB_NUMBERSAsset-7@2x-100-1024x347.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-13709" srcset="https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/ANNUAL_CHANGE_IN_PUB_NUMBERSAsset-7@2x-100-1024x347.jpg 1024w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/ANNUAL_CHANGE_IN_PUB_NUMBERSAsset-7@2x-100-300x102.jpg 300w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/ANNUAL_CHANGE_IN_PUB_NUMBERSAsset-7@2x-100-768x260.jpg 768w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/ANNUAL_CHANGE_IN_PUB_NUMBERSAsset-7@2x-100-150x51.jpg 150w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/ANNUAL_CHANGE_IN_PUB_NUMBERSAsset-7@2x-100-592x201.jpg 592w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/ANNUAL_CHANGE_IN_PUB_NUMBERSAsset-7@2x-100-177x60.jpg 177w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/ANNUAL_CHANGE_IN_PUB_NUMBERSAsset-7@2x-100-266x90.jpg 266w, https://website-backend.stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/ANNUAL_CHANGE_IN_PUB_NUMBERSAsset-7@2x-100.jpg 1051w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



Sadly England is almost solely accountable for this growth, which is not seen elsewhere. It saw a net gain of +345 compared to Scotland (-5) Wales (-25) and Northern Ireland (+5) which were all relatively stable. By region, the South East has the most pubs (5,340) but only grew by 10 in 2019. Much faster growth can be witnessed in the North East (+85), followed closely by the West Midlands (+80).



By town/city, Bristol, Newcastle, Southampton and South-end-on-sea all boast an extra 15 pubs in 2019 (the most in the UK). In London, pub numbers only increased in 10 out of 33 boroughs.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Pub Growth in the UK 2019 Map</h4>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://stampede.ai/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Pub-Growth-UK-Map.png" alt="Pub growth UK Map" class="wp-image-13714" width="437" height="697"/></figure></div>



Large pub groups are driving the most growth in the sector. The biggest increase (+205) comes from pub enterprises with a turnover of £500,000-£1,000,000, and the second biggest increase (+125) was in the £1m-£2m bracket. By contrast, the UK had a net loss of 55 for pub enterprises with a turnover of less than £100,000&nbsp;



These stats demonstrate the dominance of big pub chains and suggests that larger and more profitable pubs may be more resilient to negative market forces – such as rising business rates and alcohol duties – and are therefore less likely to shut down. It may also be the case that there is more investment in larger properties with the potential to drive more revenue – while smaller venues stay shut once they close.

We calculate that the growth of pubs in the UK between 2018 and 2019 may have created an extra 8,975 jobs nationwide.** Using a similar formula, we calculate that pubs made an extra £740,875,000 in 2019 vs 2018 (cash turnover not adjusted for inflation)



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">The Source of Growth</h4>



As to why pub numbers are going up, additional analysis suggests that it has little to do with people drinking more. According to the same dataset, we can reveal that licensed clubs remain on the decline – there were 7,420 in 2019 vs 7,610 in 2018, down from 10,000 in 2010***. Likewise, analysis from the British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA) and Marston’s says beer sales volumes dropped to 3.6 billion pints in 2019 compared with a peak of 5.7 billion pints in January 2007.



In the same report, the BBPA noted a rise in craft and world beers, growing by 194,000 and 218,000 pints respectively. The sale of these premium beers may explain how pub numbers were able to grow in 2019. Likewise, it appears that many pubs and bars are coping better with industry challenges. Many have embraced innovation and new revenue streams. More pubs now offer food, accommodation and a greater variety of weekday events to maximise profits. Pubs can no longer afford to rely on the same old regulars to keep coming through the door.&nbsp;



We are seeing more pubs utilising technology, data and marketing automation to better understand their customers and their drinking habits. This means being able to generate more revenue during traditionally quiet periods and changing their operations/business hours based on how their customers behave.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



“The pub trade has had very little to celebrate in the last decade, but I’m sure they’ll raise a glass to these new numbers,” said Patrick Clover, Stampede founder and CEO. “Pubs have a hugely important place in our society both socially as well as economically, being one of the UK’s biggest employers. The reduction of pubs over the last decade has been heart-breaking, following devastating changes to business taxes and alcohol duties, but I hope these figures signpost a reversal of fortunes. Indeed, we saw our local district of Edinburgh increase the number of pubs significantly this year, and I like to think we played our part in that. Stampede’s aim is to become indispensable to every pub, bar, hotel and restaurant owner in the UK. We want to bring the heart back into these beloved venues that are at the centre of our communities.”&nbsp;



* There are now a total of 39,145 pubs in the UK – based on businesses classified by the Standard Industrial Classification code 56302 : Public houses and bars. Figures are rounded to the nearest five by ONS to prevent identification, meaning these are not exact numbers



**We calculated this figure based on the net difference of pubs multiplied by their number of employees. For example, there were an extra 240 pubs with between 20-49 employees: 240 x 35 [the median figure between 20-19] = 8,400 jobs. Other employment size bands saw a net decrease, thus creating a net job loss, but they have still been factored into the 8,975 jobs estimate. N.B the ONS rounds it figures to the nearest 5 to avoid disclosure, so this figure is only a guide and should be taken with a pinch of salt.&nbsp;

Raising The Bar – A Stampede Report

Euan Campbell

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://website-backend.stampede.ai/how-it-works/wifi/">guest WiFi</a> was where <a href="https://website-backend.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

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



<ul><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!

Why, it seems only just a few short days ago that we were writing about enabling <a class="" href="/blog/facebook-wifi-your-business" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Facebook Wifi checkin for your business</a>. As many of our readers know, the world of the internet moves fast and furious.. In just that short time, Facebook founder <a href="https://www.recode.net/2018/4/10/17216734/live-facebook-mark-zuckerberg-testimony-senate-hearing-data" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mark Zuckerberg found himself being grilled on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC</a> over data concerns with their social media platform. Shortly afterwards, UK pub giant Wetherspoons announced that they would be <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-43781281" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">shutting down all of their social media accounts</a>.

So should hospitality owners be worried? Short answer, NO.
Although the growth in Facebook has slowed in 2018, in truth, it’s still the largest social media platform out there, used by over 2 BILLION people. That’s almost one quarter of the population of the planet. That being said, after the revelations of the past couple of weeks,  users may have some concerns with using Facebook and may start posting with less frequency. At least for a while.
What Facebook does with customer data is beyond your control. What you CAN do, however, is offer your customers a fast, safe and convenient Wifi connection so they can access their Facebook accounts. To that end,  you have a number of different ways that you can let customers connect to your networks. You can give out the password so everyone can connect freely, you can let your customers login via a social network like Facebook or Twitter, or you can ask them for certain data, like their email and/or post code, in return for unlimited Wifi.
Let’s take a look at these in light of recent concerns and see which might be best for your hospitality business.
<h2>OPEN NETWORK</h2>
This is still how many hospitality and retail businesses are running nowadays. There’s typically a password written on a wall or menu somewhere which allows users to connect. The benefits of this type of network are obvious &#8211; it’s easy for anyone to connect. The bad part about this type of network is that….it’s easy for anyone to connect. Hackers looking to steal data can easily connect to the network and, <a href="/blog/articles/data-comprimised-wifi-pineapple" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">with a Wifi hacking device like a pineapple</a>, easily intercept your data.
<h2>SOCIAL MEDIA LOGIN</h2>
In this type of connection, a user logs into a Wifi network by <a href="/blog/social/facebook-checkin-on-wifi" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">authenticating against one a social network like Facebook or Twitter</a>. The benefits of this type of connection is that, for one, it’s somewhat more secure than a network with an open password and, since nearly everyone has a social media account, it’s easy for users to connect to your Wifi network. But connections aren’t free and, in most cases, buy connecting trhough a social media network, the user then will broadcast their connections to their friends on the network.
For example, a user that connects with a Facebook login will have their location announced to their Facebook friends. Until now, this wasn&#8217;t a big deal, but, as we’ve seen with the recent Facebook news, users might be less and less willing to share their data.
Social media login is one of the ways that Wifi users can authenticate to Wifi through our Stampede platform. It&#8217;s popular with a number of our customers. But, an even more powerful and flexible way for your customers to connect to Wifi is through the use of a captive portal.
<h2>CAPTIVE PORTAL LOGIN</h2>
Here’s how it works: when a user enters your location, they connect to your Wifi. Once connected, a browser opens prompting the user for their email address. This is so the user can be verified through our Stampede platform before the Wifi allows them to connect. In addition to their email address, capitive portal solutions can ask for additional information, like sex, age and post codes.
Although this may seem intrusive, most users have no problem with providing some user data in return for free Wifi. And, if you let them know that by providing you with their email address, you’ll use the data to keep them informed of upcoming offeres or specials, they’ll be happy to give it to you.
The other benefit of a captive portal is that once a customer is logged in, they stay logged in. Even better, if you have Stampede deployed in multiple locations &#8211; let&#8217;s say a chain of pubs &#8211; they can stay connected from venue to venue (pub crawl, anyone) <a href="/blog/wifi-in-your-venue-login-once-login-forever" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">without ever having to login to the Wifi</a>!
<h2>WHICH SOLUTION IS RIGHT FOR YOU?</h2>
That depends on your business and your needs.
If you’re looking to just provide Wifi to increase dwell time at your hospitality or retail business, then you can go with an open network or social media login. These type of networks are easy to setup and require little or no upkeep. But if you’re looking to turn an expense into an asset, then providing your customers with a captive Wifi portal is the solution for you. By colletcting email and other data from your users, you can land, expand and grow your business.
What are you waiting for? Your business isn&#8217;t going to grow itself.

Facebook, Data Security, and Hospitality WiFi

Customer data is the key&nbsp;to feeding your marketing campaigns, driving repeat visits and increasing revenue. The more data and customer insights you can get, the bigger the knock-on effect.



There are many touch points along the digital and physical customer journey that allow hospitality businesses to collect data. But two stand out above the others. 



<h5 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-2-ways-to-collect-customer-data">2 ways to collect customer data</h5>



One popular data source is a&nbsp;<a href="https://stampede.ai/get-bookings/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">table booking system</a>. The data you get from those lets you to send reminders (reduce no-shows) and special offers in advance as a way to increase sales per booking.



Another common method is using a&nbsp;<a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/wifi/#portal" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">captive portal solution</a>&nbsp;to gather data through Guest WiFi. The real-time, in-venue data brings huge potential to increase spend per head, i.e. through&nbsp;<a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/marketing/#upsell" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">digital upselling</a>.



In both cases, customers can be contacted after their visit to further boost loyalty through personalised campaigns and offers.&nbsp;



No doubt, those two tools are good on their own and will help you grow your database and business. But when&nbsp;combined, they elevate your expansion&nbsp;to new heights.



<h5 class="wp-block-heading">The combined power of WiFi and Booking Data</h5>



The crux with booking data is that you only get data from the person that made the booking.



So what happens if you have a large group booking? You’re&nbsp;missing out on a big bunch of data&nbsp;and potential future business opportunities as you have no means to contact the rest of the party.



However, if you also opt for the captive portal you can gather the data of the entire booking party, once they sign up for your WiFi. An easy way to&nbsp;scale up your database from just one booking.&nbsp;



Even better, if both systems are integrated into one CRM. You can mix and match both sources to&nbsp;create high-converting campaigns&nbsp;and bring more customers back on a regular basis.



Here’re some examples of segmentation ideas using your booking and WiFi data insights.&nbsp;



<h5 class="wp-block-heading">4 clever segmentation ideas</h5>



1) Has booked but not been at the venue (cancellation):



-&gt; Win-back campaign with a special offer



2) Has been at the venue (WiFi) but not booked online yet (booking):



-&gt; Welcome or early-bird booking offers&nbsp;



3) Has been at venue (WiFi) and birthday coming up:



-&gt; Special birthday party booking offer



4) Regular booker/in-venue visitor (WiFi + booking):



-&gt; Bring your friends and get …% off

The Revenue Boosting Combo Of WiFi And Bookings Data

Chris Wilkie

Are you thinking of opening a prohibition styled speakeasy serving custom-crafted cocktails flavoured with the latest Scottish gins? Or are you starting a pop-up cafe specialising in the latest trend? What about bucking all the hype serving up good old fashioned diner grub? No matter what type of food or drink you plan to serve your customers. There’s going to be one thing that your customers demand as soon as they enter your place: <a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/wifi/">WiFi</a>. 



As a matter of fact, a recent survey showed that the most <a href="https://pos.toasttab.com/blog/restaurant-management-statistics">important technology feature for customers is free WiFi</a>. It&#8217;s a vital part of their overall experience and can influence their decision to come back or not. 







In order to give your customers the best guest experience, you need to get everything right. Including your decor, your staff, your food and, yes, your WiFi. With that in mind, here are our top five tips on how to set up WiFi for your restaurant or pub.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-use-professional-wifi-equipment">Use Professional WiFi Equipment</h4>



You’ve poured your heart and soul into your new business. So are you going to let your customers sign in to the same crappy WiFi router that your internet company gives to pensioners downloading pictures of their grandkids? No. It’s time to put on your big boy pants and pay for a decent router. But buying the best doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean you&#8217;ll need to empty your bank account.



Our top <a href="https://stampede.ai/supported-hardware/">hardware recommendations</a> for seamless integration with Stampede include popular brands like:



<ul><li>TP-Link</li><li>Ubiquiti UniFi</li><li>Cisco Meraki</li><li>D-Link</li></ul>



The <a href="https://www.netspotapp.com/blog/wifi-security/explaining-wifi-standards.html">standard that WiFi</a> uses for connections is called 802.11, appended with letters to reflect the WiFi generation. For example, when WiFi was first released to the public, way back when in 1999, it was known as 802.a. As of 2022, the most widely used standard is 802.11ax or WiFi 6, coming with an even greater data transfer speed. 



But don’t sit around waiting for the latest standard to come out before you purchase your equipment. Since WiFi devices are backwards compatible, you shouldn’t have to worry about getting outpaced by technology.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-big-place-go-mesh">Big Place? Go Mesh</h4>



If you&#8217;ve got a large pub or restaurant with lots of hidden nooks and crannies, then you&#8217;re going to want to go with a mesh network. The idea behind mesh networks is to provide all-around coverage for your pub or restaurant. Even better it eliminates any WiFi blind spots. A mesh network typically consists of a number of WiFi separate broadcast units. Usually, between two to four, that seamlessly integrate into one network. 



Hooking up mesh networks isn’t as difficult as it sounds. The router software usually takes care of the integration for you. Even though you may have up to 4 devices bouncing a signal around your business, customers only have to worry about connecting to a signal network. <a href="https://www.techadvisor.com/test-centre/network-wifi/best-mesh-wi-fi-network-systems-3661110/">This article in Tech Advisor </a>is a quick read and gives you a nice overview on some of the best mesh routers out there.



Here&#8217;s a <a href="https://stampede.ai/resources/bar-tonic/">case study we did with Bar Tonic</a>, one of our customers who rely on a good WiFi signal due to their special location.



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

</div></figure>



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



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-setup-a-captive-portal">Setup a Captive Portal</h4>



Alright, so you’ve got your network all set up and broadcasting. You’re getting a great signal from every location in your place of business. Even in the most distant bathroom stall. Now all you need to do is write up your network password on all the walls so your customers can connect, right? WRONG. 



You’ve just spent some bucks paying for a professional WiFi network for your business. So why give it away for free? By using a software product like Stampede, you can set up what is known as a <a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/wifi/">Captive Portal</a>, to give your customers access to your shiny new WiFi network.



Here&#8217;s how it works: After a customer connects, they’re prompted to register for your network with their email address or using their social media account. Once they’ve verified their email, they’re logged in. No passwords to remember and no chalkboards on the wall. Just a much smoother customer WiFi experience.



The other cool part about a captive network is that it will <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/get-your-customers-to-login-once-keep-them-always-connected/">automatically re-connect your customer</a> next time they pay you a visit. No more logging in! And the best part &#8211; at least for your business? You now have your customer’s email address that (with their permission, of course) you can use for our next tip &#8211; automated marketing.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-use-automated-marketing">Use Automated Marketing</h4>



You’re providing free WiFi for your customers and, in return, you’re getting their data. So use it! When you have a customer login to your WiFi with Stampede, in addition to an email address, you can ask for other details on the <a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/wifi/#portal">Captive Portal login screen</a>. Name, age, gender &#8211; anything you can think of. You can even add custom questions. This is a great place to ask your customer opinions about new menu items or specials you’re thinking about offering. And not to forget about the fact that you can customise the log-in screen to your own branding.



Once registered, you can import your customers&#8217; email into mailing list software like Mailchimp. Use software like Zapier to do thousands of different tasks, like importing emails into a Google Docs spreadsheet. 



Or, you can save time and have all your data conveniently in one place with <a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/marketing/">Stampede Marketing</a>. Automated text or SMS messages are a great tool for <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/a-5-step-recipe-that-creates-profitable-personalised-marketing-part-1/">personalised marketing campaigns</a> to bring customers back. Want to reward <a href="https://stampede.ai/resources/8-tactics-to-increase-customer-spend/">loyal customers</a>? Send them a message with a <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/new-stampede-marketing-feature-unique-voucher-codes/">voucher</a> for a dessert on their third visit. Haven&#8217;t seen a customer in a while and want to get them back? Drop &#8217;em a coupon for a free drink &#8211; who can resist that?



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-get-social">Get Social</h4>



So you’ve got an awesome WiFi network with a Cative Portal set up in your pub or restaurant and your customers are loving it. Now it’s time to spread the word! Put your Instagram, Facebook and TikTok handles EVERYWHERE &#8211; menus, the walls, even on your receipts. Encourage your customers to share their experience and, more importantly, their photos. 



Take it one step further and use automated marketing to gather customer feedback with ease. Reviews help you build trust and attract new customers. With <a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/automations/#reviews">Stampede Reviews</a> you can send an automated message after your customers have left the venue and ask them to leave you a review and write about their experience. What&#8217;s even better, you can access all major review platforms (Tripadvisor, Facebook and Google) from one dashboard, allowing for a much easier reputation management.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-awesome-wifi-in-your-restaurant-or-pub-set-up">Awesome WiFi in Your Restaurant or Pub Set Up</h4>



Now you&#8217;ve got awesome WiFi that your customers love. They&#8217;re spreading the word about you all over social media and you&#8217;re keeping them loyal with automated marketing. That wasn&#8217;t so hard now, was it?



So, if you&#8217;re thinking about taking the plunge and opening up the restaurant or pub of your dreams, and see the importance of offering awesome WiFi. Why not give us a try? <a href="https://h.stampede.ai/meetings/stampede/demo">Get in touch</a> to find out how this could easily be implemented at your venue.

Apple ID is now available as a login method to <a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/wifi/">Stampede Guest WiFi</a>. This latest addition to our captive portal further enhances the user experience for Apple device users.&nbsp;



The one-time login process with Apple ID is faster than typing (faster than we can type anyway). It comes with all the expected security features that go hand in hand with Apple ID. A user can login using Apple ID and remain anonymous to the network owner with just the settings in their profile. Additionally, if the user wants to receive updates and offers from the venue, they can enable this while still keeping their information private.



These new login features are exclusive to the Stampede Guest WiFi solution and are the first of their kind to be used this way.



There are also benefits to the businesses using our Guest WiFi who choose to enable Apple ID login. The number of customers using the Guest WiFi will increase with a faster, easier and trusted login. More customers using their Guest WiFi grows their database. This results in more people to contact via email and more reliable analytics data. The familiar “Sign in with Apple” button will be a welcome sight to many consumers, and following this facial recognition or biometrics &#8211; like fingerprint &#8211; can log you in.



This new login process for our captive portal solution adds to the current options of <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/the-ultimate-beginners-guide-to-wifi-jargon/">social WiFi</a> (logging in using a social network profile such as Facebook) and more traditional data capture fields (such as email address and phone number)



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Setting Up Apple ID Login</h2>



To enable Sign in with Apple on your Stampede Guest WiFi, head to “Login Design” in left-hand navigation. Under the “Capture” tab you will find the slider button to activate Apple ID login at your venue(s). The button will only show to users attempting to connect on an Apple device.



Not sure how many people use Apple devices in your venue right now? Head over to “<a href="https://product.stampede.ai/analytics/devices">Analytics</a>” then to the “<a href="https://product.stampede.ai/analytics/devices">Devices</a>” section. Here you will be able to see a breakdown of venue visitors based on device, operating system and browser. By exploring “Devices” for Apple products or “Operating Systems” for iOS or OSX you’ll be able to understand the volumes of customers likely to use Apple ID login.

Make sure to&nbsp;block larger online bookings&nbsp;(for events, parties, etc.) by setting a max. party size, i.e. &lt; 10 pax. And be sure to offer an alternative contact method for those that don’t fit the regular options.



Leave some tables free&nbsp;during peak times to allow for walk-ins and take them off your online bookings.

Buyer’s Guide: 11 Key Features Your Table Booking System Needs

Planning, importing data, reporting. These are the bread around the meat of your marketing campaigns (i.e. the fun bit with all the actual content).



In most platforms, campaign reporting often creates more questions than answers, is hard to understand and difficult to navigate.



Likewise, importing CSV lists is often a major frustration for marketers across the board.



It can be so much easier to plan and iterate on your email campaigns, and we’ll prove it.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-s-new">What&#8217;s New?</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Segments</h3>



Create new segments in one click from past campaigns.&nbsp;



Target just the openers, or just the clickers to double-down on conversions with a tailored follow-up campaign.



Navigate to a campaign, head to the reports and you’re one click from a new audience segment.



Follow-up campaigns to engaged, but not converted, customers are hugely effective at increasing conversions.



Try it now.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Planning</h3>



A small but critical part of your campaigns. When should you send them? Normally this takes months of testing to get answers.



To get you an answer now, we’ve added a new AI-powered helper to give you better insight into the best send times for your business.



You can now see the best day of the week and time of day to send emails for maximum performance, based on your past campaigns.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-reporting">Reporting</h3>



From what we’ve seen out there, these tend to be quite rubbish.&nbsp;



With this latest update, our campaign reports provide the detail that so many miss, giving you valuable insight in seconds&nbsp;



<ul>
<li>Improved conversion attribution reports show real spend at your venue via walk-ins / bookings / gift card sales / online orders</li>



<li>Full email click maps help you pinpoint the most popular content in your campaign, so you can optimise future emails and boost your click-through rate</li>



<li>Quick breakdowns of Most engaged contacts and top clicked links, make it easy to see what performed best and who your biggest fans are</li>



<li>Export reports to CSV for further analysis. Handy if you need to send them on to third-parties outside your organisation, or merge with other data.</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-data-imports">Data Imports</h3>



<ul>
<li>CSV uploads are way faster with bigger files. Merge and move lists faster. If this has been holding you back from switching email platform, it’s time to reassess.</li>



<li>Auto-emails will tell you when an import is done. Hit “Upload” and get back to designing the email whilst your audience populates.</li>



<li>Field mapping: also faster.</li>
</ul>

Company

Oh, the good ol&#8217; days. Do you remember how easier it was to know your customers&#8217; insight and out and what their buying behaviour and preferences were? 







With a notepad and pen, you could collect customers&#8217; data like name, nickname and the days they would visit your shop. Indeed, it was easy to remember that Burt &#8220;The Burtator&#8221; would come to buy potatoes every Wednesday and coffee every Sunday.



Yeah, he also prefered to pay by check.



Well… now it&#8217;s a lot harder. These days you have so many customers coming to your shop that you can&#8217;t possibly remember everyone, even if you write their names on the coffee cup.



What&#8217;s your name again? Sorry, what&#8217;s your preference, veggie burger or bacon cheeseburger? You want to pay by debit card, credit card, Apple Pay, Monzo, PayPal… coins?! 



What the heck?! You don&#8217;t even know where they found your business because surely they don&#8217;t live in the area. It&#8217;s chaos sometimes, but thank Thor, I don&#8217;t need to know all these people&#8217;s details, right?!



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">The Importance Of Capturing Data</h4>



Try again, cowboy. Yes, you do need to know all this information. With these, let&#8217;s use a buzzword here, &#8220;data points&#8220;, you are able to know and understand your customers. Just like in the ol&#8217; days. It&#8217;s all about getting more customer insights and make positive use of those.



When you understand your customers, you can craft a unique local experience. Make it personal, create a connection and <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/jillgriffin/2019/10/15/what-happens-when-your-customers-love-you/#7a84ff425eb7">they will love you</a>. That&#8217;s just the romantic part because you can also take advantages of the &#8216;boring&#8217; but profitable stuff, such as offline analytics, customer trends analysis and&nbsp;<a rel="noopener noreferrer" class="" href="https://www.stampede.ai/blog/articles/wifi-marketing-connect-customers" target="_blank">effective marketing campaigns</a>&nbsp;that boost your revenue.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">What You Can Do With The Information</h4>



In addition, any little piece of information you capture can be used to improve your customers&#8217; in-house experience and help you create better, more personalised and relevant marketing campaigns. So the more customer insights the better!



Let&#8217;s start with the simplest of examples. <a class="" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.stampede.ai/blog/articles/wifi-data-capture" target="_blank">You capture customers names.</a> Simple as that, just their name.



With that, you can greet your customers in a friendlier way. Which is nice, but you can also:

Now, let&#8217;s go a bit further… you know not only their name but how many times the person has been in your venue this week. Time to increase <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/engaging-customers-through-wi-fi-marketing/">customer loyalty</a> by simply sending a SMS or email inviting them to come back.



For example: &#8220;Hi Carolina, thank you for visiting us this week. How about you bring a friend tomorrow and get 5% off as a thank you?&#8221;



How about you run a campaign to increase the number of people that find you on a <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/how-to-respond-to-positive-and-negative-customer-reviews-online/">review site</a>? Even easier! Send a message 10 minutes after they leave, with something along the lines of: &#8220;Hola Maurice, thank you for your visit. We truly hope you enjoyed your stay, could you please spread the word and review us on TripAdvisor?&#8221;



Boom! I bet you an American dollar that you will have the <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.stampede.ai/blog/importance-of-online-reviews" target="_blank">number of reviews increased</a>.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">The Beauty Of Guest WiFi For Data Capturing</h4>



Do you offer free Guest WiFi? Come on, it&#8217;s a rhetorical question, of course, you do. Free and easy access to the Interwebs (Internet) is one of the three things all customers demand. (If not, check out our <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/getting-started-with-guest-wifi/">getting to started</a> guide now. Better later than never)



So, you ALREADY offer free Guest WiFi &#8211; then why not put it into use and make money with it? I&#8217;m not talking about charging for Internet access, as this could get your customers frustrated. (I&#8217;ve seen some dramatic reactions for paid Internet access &#8211; punch someone in the face kind of stuff).



I&#8217;m talking about capturing data to better know your customers, leading to more <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.stampede.ai/blog/good-adverts-bad-adverts" target="_blank">efficient marketing</a>, ending with more sales. I know you got it, but I&#8217;ll repeat for those people in the back row. It&#8217;s all about more customer insights.



Better yet, I&#8217;ll show it to you with an illustration:



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/2735287/Blog/Stampede-Blog-Cost_Rev@2x.png" alt="Stampede-Blog-Cost_Rev@2x"/></figure>



Why offer free WiFi if you’re not getting anything in return? Because, with a <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.stampede.ai/how-it-works#marketing" target="_blank">Guest WiFi analytics and marketing automation tool,</a> you are capturing data, improving your marketing AND generating revenue. I honestly can&#8217;t make this any simpler.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Get Them Logging In Once But Keep Capturing Their Data</h4>



&#8220;Oh wait, but I don&#8217;t want my customers to sit and spend their time on the Internet instead of appreciating and savouring my beautiful dishes.&#8221;



No problemo, amigo. What you need to do is, <a class="" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.stampede.ai/blog/wifi-in-your-venue-login-once-login-forever" target="_blank">get them to login ONCE</a>. That&#8217;s all it takes. The reason is, they DO NOT have to use your Internet all the time (we also don&#8217;t want that, do we?). When they log in for the first time, they won&#8217;t need to login ever again (unless you want them to). Meaning… in their second, third, tenth, hundredth time they visit your venue, you will know they were there and they won&#8217;t even have to take their phones out of their pockets.



You&#8217;ll also know if they are new or returning visitors, how long they stayed at your venue and so on. If you&#8217;re a metrics and analytics fan, this is online analytics applied in real offline businesses. So, all the goodies of online marketing, easily and automatically applied to brick &amp; mortar, to real-life&#8230;



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Ideas To Get Your Customer Connected For The First Time</h4>



Right, so the software can do the heavy lifting, running in the background quietly and constantly learning about your customers. That&#8217;s fantastic, but we at Stampede believe and recommend you should inject this concept, this need to learn everything about your customer to improve services, in your business&#8217; DNA.



Just common sense. Knowing your customers insight-out means you can tweak your business to better serve them. How great is when a waiter greets you by name? Or when a concierge in a hotel knows exactly the newspaper you love to read and leaves it in your room? (Yep, print. I&#8217;m old school.)



It’s all about knowing your customer. I&#8217;ve repeated this sentence so many times for a reason. Get it in your head. 



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





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



Back to the topic, here are three ideas to get your customer connecting to your free WiFi so you can start capturing that sweet, sweet Data.



<ol><li>Have visible stickers promoting your free Guest WiFi</li><li>Get your staff to mention it at least once to the customer <ul><li>&#8216;Good morning Dorothy, here is your corn dog, please enjoy our complimentary free WiFi and have a great day. Go Pigeons!&#8217;</li><li>&#8216;Hi Frederik, your order will be here in 5 minutes, please feel free to use our free Internet and leave us a review. We&#8217;d really appreciate it&#8217;</li><li>&#8216;Howdy Ross, the doctor will call you soon, meanwhile please feel free to access our free WiFi and enjoy your wait&#8217; </li></ul></li><li>Include an online menu, voucher or <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/infographic-how-likely-are-people-to-act-on-promotions/">promotion</a> on your website</li></ol>



Three basic and simple things, that will get you to capture data, know more about your customers, have offline analytics, improve and automate your marketing campaigns and of course… sell more!

Open Mesh

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?

Up close and personal: Why WiFi might be the best way to direct marketing to your guests

<h2>Service Level Agreement</h2>
<h3>Overview</h3>
This service level agreement (‘SLA’) describes the levels of service that (‘The Client) will receive from Stampede AI Ltd. (‘The Vendor’). This SLA should be read alongside the terms of use (<a href="https://stampede.ai/company/saas-agreement/">https://stampede.ai/company/saas-agreement/</a>) between The Client and The Vendor. Although the SLA covers key areas of The Client’s provided services and support, other contracts may include areas not covered by this SLA.&nbsp;
<h3>Purpose&nbsp;</h3>
The Client’s received service depends on Stampede Software as a Service ( ‘The System’) that is provided, maintained and supported by The Vendor. This SLA sets out what levels of availability and support The Client is guaranteed to receive The System. It also explains what penalties will be applied to Vendor should it fail to meet these levels. This SLA forms an important part of the contract between The Client and Vendor. It aims to enable the two parties to work together effectively.&nbsp;
<h3>Scope&nbsp;</h3>
<h4>Dates and reviews&nbsp;</h4>
This agreement begins on the Effective Date as described in the SaaS Agreement and will run for the&nbsp; Subscription Term. It may be reviewed at any point, by mutual agreement. It may also be reviewed if there are any changes to The Client’s needs or uses.&nbsp;
<h4>Services Covered&nbsp;</h4>
This SLA covers only those services provided by The Vendor to The Client for purposes of monitoring the use of WiFi by end users. This SLA contemplates only those above-named services and makes no guarantees or representations as to the provision or availability of any other service that may be provided by other suppliers.
<h4>Exclusions&nbsp;</h4>
This SLA is written in good faith. The Vendor will always do everything possible to rectify every issue in a timely manner.&nbsp; However, there are exclusions. This SLA does not apply to: •&nbsp;
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Any equipment, software, services, third party or otherwise, or any other parts of the System not listed above.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Software, equipment or services not purchased via and managed by The Vendor.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
Additionally, this SLA does not apply when:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The problem has been caused by using equipment, software or service(s) in a way that is not recommended.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The Client has made unauthorised changes to the configuration or set up of affected equipment, software or services.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The Client has prevented The Vendor from performing required maintenance and update tasks.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">&nbsp;The issue has been caused by unsupported mobile devices, equipment, software or other services.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
This SLA does not apply in circumstances that could be reasonably said to be beyond The Vendor’s control.&nbsp; For instance: floods, war, acts of god, civil unrest and so on.&nbsp;
This SLA also does not apply if The Client is in breach of its contract with The Vendor for any reason (e.g. late payment of fees, improper use, violation of terms, etc.).&nbsp;
<h3>Responsibilities&nbsp;</h3>
<h4>The Vendor responsibilities&nbsp;</h4>
The Vendor will provide and maintain the System used by The Client. The Vendor will make the System available through WiFi.
Additionally, The Vendor will:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Ensure relevant software, services and equipment are available to The Client where necessary.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Respond to support requests within a reasonable timeframe.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Take steps to escalate and resolve issues in an appropriate, timely manner.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Maintain good communication with The Client at all times.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<h4>Client Responsibilities&nbsp;</h4>
The Client will use The Vendor provided system as intended.&nbsp;
The Client will:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Notify The Client of issues or problems in a timely manner.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Provide The Vendor with access to equipment, software and services for the purposes of maintenance, updates and fault prevention.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Maintain good communication with The Vendor at all times.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<h3>Guaranteed uptime&nbsp;</h3>
<h4>Uptime levels&nbsp;</h4>
In order to enable The Client to do business effectively, The Vendor guarantees that certain items will be available for a certain percentage of time.&nbsp;
The System is guaranteed to have a 99.9% uptime.&nbsp;
<h4>Measurement and Penalties&nbsp;</h4>
Uptime is measured over each calendar month. It is calculated to the nearest minute, based on the number of minutes in the given month (for example, a 31-day month contains 44,640 minutes). If uptime for any item drops below the relevant threshold, a penalty will be applied in the form of a credit for The Client. This means the following month’s fee payable by The Client will be reduced on a sliding scale. The level of penalty will be calculated depending on the number of hours for which the service was unavailable, minus the downtime permitted by the SLA.
<h4>Service Credits</h4>
From 1 to 15 hours beyond target, rounded up to the next whole hour.
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">2.5% of monthly Charge for the affected Customer Premises per whole hour.</li>
</ul>
More than 15 hours beyond target
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">50% of monthly Charge for the affected Customer Premises.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Important Notes:&nbsp;</h4>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Uptime penalties in any month are capped at 50% of the total monthly fee.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Uptime measurements exclude periods of routine maintenance. These must be agreed between The Vendor and The Client in advance.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">For the avoidance of doubt, Services operating on backup or resilient links, line errors and/or other intermittent faults which do not prevent Service use, would be excluded from the Critical Fault category.&nbsp; Fault resolution times under this section will not apply to any faults that arise during a scheduled maintenance window.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Initially, we will work remotely to resolve all network faults. If, after investigation, we consider that the fault has not been resolved or that a solution does not seem imminent, we may arrange for an engineer to visit the affected Customer Premise, or to provide replacement Company Equipment, unless we deem the fault to originate as a direct result of failure at a Customer Premises of any Company Equipment in respect of which we have no management or maintenance responsibility.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Progress towards resolution within Target Clearance Times may be affected by our inability to access Customer Premise(s) or equipment; clear detail on information requested as part of the fault diagnosis process, or your instruction for us to suspend progress for any reason. Should either circumstance occur, we will pause the incident (stop the clock) until action is taken to allow the incident resolution to be resumed. Overall duration of the fault will have the paused time removed from the calculation.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">We will calculate total fault duration in seconds up or down to the nearest minute.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Guaranteed Response Times&nbsp;</h3>
When The Client raises a support issue with The Vendor, The Vendor promises to respond in a timely fashion.
<h4>Response Times&nbsp;</h4>
The response time measures how long it takes The Vendor to respond to a support request raised via Vendor’s support system. The Vendor is deemed to have responded when it has replied to the client’s initial request. This may be in the form of a chat response, email or telephone call, to either provide a solution or request further information.
Response times are measured from the moment the client submits a support request via The Vendor’s online support system.&nbsp;
Response times apply during standard working hours (9am — 5.30pm) Monday to Friday (May exclude public holidays), unless the contract between the client and supplier specifically includes provisions for out of hours support.&nbsp;
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Chat/ phone call &#8211; immediate response</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Email &#8211; within 30 minutes</li>
</ul>
<h4>Resolution Times&nbsp;</h4>
The Vendor will always endeavour to resolve problems as swiftly as possible. It recognises that the client’s use of the System is key to its business and that any downtime can cost money. However, The Vendor is unable to provide guaranteed resolution times. This is because the nature and causes of problems can vary enormously. For instance, it may be possible to resolve a fatal server issue in minutes, simply by restarting the server. But if a server fails due to disk error or a hardware fault (also classed as a fatal issue) it may take much longer to get back up and running. In all cases, The Vendor will make its best efforts to resolve problems as quickly as possible. It will also provide frequent progress reports to The Client.&nbsp;
<h3>Right of Termination&nbsp;</h3>
Vendor recognises that it provides services that are critical to The Client’s business. If Vendor consistently fails to meet the service levels described in this document, the client may terminate its entire contract with Vendor, with no penalty. This right is available to the client if Vendor fails to meet the above uptime or response time levels more than five times in any single calendar month.

Marketing

A Customer Relationship Management system (CRM) is an invaluable and powerful technology tool for hospitality owners and operators to maximise the customer experience and reach their business goals.&nbsp;



But what exactly do we mean when we talk about CRM systems for hospitality?&nbsp;



In this post, you will learn all there is to know about this topic. Starting off with a definition, to features and benefits as well as tips on how to choose the right one.



In case you have unanswered questions left, we’ll also address common FAQs at the end of this guide.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-is-a-crm-system">What is a CRM system?</h2>



A <a href="https://stampede.ai/">CRM system</a> is a tool used to manage interactions with existing customers and potential customers. It allows businesses to better track and organise customer data, such as contact details, purchase history, and other interactions.



Hospitality businesses of all sizes can benefit from a CRM solution, from small restaurants to large hotel groups. In the hospitality industry, it can be particularly valuable as a streamlined way to collect and analyse customer data coming from different sources. This could be your Guest WiFi, your loyalty scheme or your table booking system.



By understanding what guests are looking for, hospitality businesses can create unique experiences that meet individual needs and preferences and keep customers coming back time and again.&nbsp;



With the right CRM platform, hospitality operators can also access valuable insights into customer preferences and behaviours over time. Those can be used to drive business decisions.



Ultimately, this clever tool helps hospitality businesses build long-term relationships with customers in order to increase repeat visits, boost word-of-mouth referrals, and maximise revenue.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">CRM key features</h2>



In today&#8217;s business landscape, understanding your customer is essential for long-term success. That&#8217;s why CRM software continues to grow in popularity, especially since it can provide a wide range of benefits to your business.&nbsp;



Here are some of the <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/the-6-must-have-key-features-of-a-restaurant-crm">key features of a CRM</a>:



<ul>
<li>Customer profile management allows you to gather and store customer information to help create more targeted marketing campaigns.&nbsp;</li>



<li>Interaction tracking helps you monitor customer activities and preferences, enabling you to tailor your messaging for greater impact.</li>



<li>Automations simplify your sales and marketing processes and reduce manual workloads.</li>



<li>Reporting and analytics provide you with insights into your business&#8217;s performance, allowing you to optimise your operations.&nbsp;</li>



<li>Third-party integrations expand the capabilities of your CRM, allowing you to connect to other systems and tools.</li>
</ul>



Hospitality businesses have unique needs when it comes to CRM, and the features that matter most will depend on the size and type of business.&nbsp;



For instance, a hotel might find value in features such as loyalty programs, reviews management and revenue optimisation tools.&nbsp;



Restaurants may benefit from features like table booking management, event planning, and automated marketing.&nbsp;



Additionally, hospitality operators will likely find value in having access to comprehensive customer profiles and powerful analytics and reporting tools.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What are the benefits of a CRM for hospitality operators?</h2>



Without a CRM system in place, hospitality businesses may struggle to keep track of their customers and understand their preferences.&nbsp;



This can lead to errors such as sending promotional materials to the wrong customer. But also not having enough information about an individual&#8217;s interests to tailor the promotions and offers for them.



Furthermore, businesses are unable to accurately measure the effectiveness of their marketing campaigns and customer engagement strategies. As a result, businesses may not be able to capitalise on opportunities for growth or improve their customer service.



By investing in a CRM solution, <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/how-restaurants-benefit-from-a-crm-system">hospitality operators can be more efficient in their operations</a> and optimise their customer experience. Automations enable businesses to streamline processes, saving time and money while allowing them to focus on providing quality service.&nbsp;



Additionally, CRMs allow venues to track customer interactions and activities in real-time. This gives them the ability to respond quickly and anticipate customer needs.&nbsp;



By leveraging analytics and reporting capabilities, operators can gain valuable insights into their customers’ purchasing habits, preferences and interests. This data is essential for optimising marketing campaigns to ensure that resources are used in the most efficient manner.&nbsp;



In short, a CRM system allows hospitality businesses to make informed decisions about how best to reach their customers and grow their business.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to choose the right CRM?</h2>



<a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/the-3-different-types-of-a-crm-system-explained">Choosing the right CRM</a> for your hospitality business can be a daunting task. With so many options and features to consider, it&#8217;s important to first identify your specific business needs.&nbsp;



Once you have a clear understanding of what you require, you can begin to look out for important features. Focus on features that are critical to the smooth running of your customer service operations. For example communication management, automated workflows, marketing automations and data analytics. These capabilities will help streamline your operations and improve customer relationships.&nbsp;



When choosing a CRM, it&#8217;s also important to look for a platform that is tailored to the hospitality industry. This will ensure that you have access to the specific functionalities and integrations that are relevant to your business.&nbsp;



Taking the time to research and select the ideal solution can make all the difference in the success and growth of your hospitality business.



Once you have selected the CRM that is right for your venue, it&#8217;s important to ensure that it is properly implemented. A successful implementation will help ensure that all of the features and functionalities are being used to their fullest potential.



This includes training staff on how to use the system to its maximum capacity, as well as integrating the CRM with other systems to ensure data accuracy and consistency.&nbsp;



Additionally, it&#8217;s important to create a plan for ongoing maintenance and upkeep. The focus should be on regularly updating customer data, monitoring system performance, and making any necessary changes to ensure that the platform is operating optimally.&nbsp;



With the right implementation and maintenance plan in place, your CRM platform can be a powerful asset in helping your hospitality business succeed.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How can a CRM improve your marketing?</h2>



A CRM solution can <a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/why-is-a-crm-system-crucial-for-a-hospitality-marketer">revolutionise your marketing strategy</a> and improve your bottom line. With personalised customer data at your fingertips, you can create targeted email and SMS campaigns that speak directly to your audience.



Gone are the days of generic, one-size-fits-all approaches to marketing. With a CRM, you can tailor your messaging to specific customer segments based on their preferences and behaviours.&nbsp;



By leveraging customer data and creating targeted campaigns, you can build a strong relationship with your guests, increase bookings and enhance their overall experience.



For example, you could use the data to identify customers that haven’t visited in a while. You then send out discounts or loyalty rewards to encourage them back into your venue.&nbsp;



Plus, automating your marketing processes can save you time and money while still nurturing customer relationships.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3 Common FAQs about a CRM Solution</h2>

How Important Is Mobile Marketing?

As hospitality marketers, you understand that a successful content strategy is key to getting your message out and engaging with potential customers.&nbsp;



But let&#8217;s face it, creating good content can take up time and energy. That’s where artificial intelligence (AI) comes in. AI has revolutionised the way and speed at which we create promotional and marketing content.



In this blog post, we&#8217;ll provide helpful tips for those seeking to use AI within their strategies for creating compelling content for their businesses.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-5-clever-ways-to-use-ai-for-content-creation">5 clever ways to use AI for content creation</h2>



It can be overwhelming to keep up with the demands of a successful content marketing strategy. Luckily, there are a few ways to use AI to help alleviate some of that pressure.



<a href="https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt">ChatGPT</a>, <a href="https://www.copy.ai/">Copy.ai</a> and <a href="https://www.jasper.ai/">Jasper</a> are only a few examples of AI-powered language tools that can assist in generating content that is engaging and effective.&nbsp;



Hospitality operators can focus on other important tasks while still maintaining a strong online presence.



Here are 5 types of hospitality marketing content AI can generate for you:



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">1. Marketing Copy</h4>



The success of any marketing campaign stands and falls with the right subject line. AI can come up with a wide choice of subject lines for email campaigns and also headlines that are attention-grabbing and tailored to the target audience.



But it doesn&#8217;t stop there, AI can support the whole email content creation process. It provides marketers with inspiration and generates new ideas to fill up the pipe. Plus, by using a different tone of voice, it can iterate different versions that resonate with the customers.



In addition, hospitality marketers can also repurpose existing content quickly by using automatic summarisation or paraphrasing tools. These help convert long-form articles into shorter versions. An efficient way to create sharable content for social media posts, stories and videos.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">2. Social Media Content</h4>



Social media managers as well can save time and reach a larger audience with AI-generated posts and captions. Whether it&#8217;s a basic post, a new product launch or a company announcement, AI can craft the perfect message that resonates with your followers. In case you’re running out of ideas, just ask AI for some input.



Additionally, AI ad copywriting can help generate high-quality ads that are tailored to the audience. Predictive technology optimises ads for clicks and conversions. This will increase conversion rates and ultimately drive sales.&nbsp;



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-3-seo-content">3. SEO content</h4>



To improve your website’s ranking on search engines, it is essential to produce content that perfectly matches your target audience&#8217;s search queries. However, identifying the right keywords and writing optimised content takes time and effort.



AI can analyse your target audience, search trends, and other key factors to suggest relevant keywords. Marketers can then use AI to generate high-quality and SEO-friendly content for their websites to boost traffic. So they get found more often by potential customers.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-4-website-content">4. Website content</h4>



Hospitality marketers can also utilise AI content for other parts of their websites. For example to produce headlines and write engaging descriptions for their venue outlets and amenities.



Additionally, it speeds up the creation of time-limited landing pages to showcase offers for seasonal events like Christmas or Mother’s Day.



The result is content that is not only search engine optimised but also converting. This enhances the overall online presence and provides its customers with an exceptional user experience.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-5-restaurant-menu">5. Restaurant menu</h4>



Gone are the days of bland and unimaginative menu descriptions. Every restaurant menu is an opportunity to create an unforgettable experience for customers, and AI is there to support you.



AI allows for unique and enticing descriptions of dishes, highlighting the flavours and textures that diners can expect. Not only that, but it also makes it quicker and easier to update menus whenever needed.



And for special events or seasonal menus, AI can assist in creating the perfect copy to capture the spirit of the occasion.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-3-tips-for-writing-better-prompts-with-ai">3 Tips for writing better prompts with AI</h2>



Writing prompts are an integral part of using AI. It&#8217;s important to make sure they are well-crafted so that you get the desired output.



Here are three tips for writing better prompts with AI:&nbsp;



<ul>
<li>Be clear and concise. Write instructions specifically for the AI to follow and avoid ambiguity.&nbsp;</li>



<li>Use simple and straightforward language. AI has a hard time understanding figures of speech, idioms and complex sentence structures.</li>



<li>Test and iterate the prompts. Keep on revising them until you get the desired results.</li>
</ul>



Example prompt: act as a restaurant marketer who is promoting his newly launched summer menu and suggest 4 promotional email messages to send out to their loyal customers.



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



AI has huge potential to provide hospitality marketers with a variety of time-saving content creation capabilities depending on their individual needs.&nbsp;



With AI, they can create more engaging and personalised experiences for guests. But also improve search rankings, reduce costs and generate various pieces of content better content faster.

Loyalty

Setting up a business isn’t easy, but I’m sure no one told you it was. In addition to having stock and seats for your customers, you’ve got to ensure that the infrastructure &#8211; like phones and your internet connection &#8211; is ready to go. 

Internet, more now than ever, is vital to make your business ready to operate and thrive. Every modern organization and business, whether you’re operating in hospitality, events or retail, relies on internet for internal planning, making orders and communication.
Having an Internet connection and a fast WiFi service in your venue is vital for many of your business processes. Since you’ve got the WiFi setup and going for your business, why not let your guests login and use this network? No need to have another network. Right? WRONG!
If you want to learn how and why sharing the same network with your guests might ruin your business, <a class="" href="https://get.stampede.ai/wifi-mistakes-ebook" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">have a look here</a>. (SPOILER ALERT: It&#8217;s bad.) You’re using the backoffice WiFi network to full extent, but are you sure you’re deploying the Guest WiFi to full extent?
Using a <a class="" href="https://www.stampede.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">proper Guest WiFi solution</a> isn’t rocket science. Easily set up, a secure WiFi solution will not only give your guests the advantage to freely and safely connect to the Internet, it also offers immense benefits for your business. Envision the internet connection you’re offering to guests as a literal connection you are establishing with customers. Inviting your business patrons to <a class="" href="https://media.giphy.com/media/IwTWTsUzmIicM/giphy.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">surf in your venue</a>, gives you the unique chance to get to know them on a personal level. 
When customers make use of your Guest WiFi, you can ask them to leave some information about themselves. Customer Data like name, gender or email address can be collected easily and your business can get to know your customers. 
Gathering certain information also enables a business to build customer profiles and learn about their guests’ behaviour, like how often they visit the venue or how long they usually stay. Information like this is extremely valuable to any business, as the venue might be adapted to these insights. For example, if customers tend to linger over a cup of coffee or a meal and work during their visit, installing extra power sockets for laptops and smartphones can make a trip to your venue even more pleasant and uncomplicated for customers.
The great thing about this approach to customer intelligence is that customers only need to go through the <a class="" href="https://www.stampede.ai/how-it-works#marketing" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Captive Portal</a> once!
Once registered, guests will be automatically logged into the Guest WiFi in seconds. Not only does this help the guests easily use your connection, it also helps you to generate data about them and gain insights for every single visit to your venue. Let&#8217;s say your customer visited a venue in New York, USA and your venue in Glasgow &#8211; as long as both places are using Stampede, guests will be able to login seemlessly in either venue. Now that’s what we call smooth&#8230;
All you need is a single login
Most of your guests will be grateful for the opportunity to use Guest WiFi and they’ll make use of it without a second&#8217;s hesitation. That’s how it should be, as the business is also gaining valuable data in return. Creating a win-win situation here is very easy. In case your customers are rather reluctant to use the WiFi or don’t want to exchange their email address for internet access, here’s a little tip:
After going through the Captive Portal, redirect your customers to whichever website you want them to see. So, why not redirect them to a separate Landing Page that includes a little treat like 50% off the next drink? This guarantees you happy customers AND data to profile your visitors. Let’s be honest &#8211; ever heard someone say “no” to a discounted drink and free WiFi?
