Your WiFi. Your marketing engine.
Capture customer data, grow your social following, and bring them back, every time they connect. GDPR-compliant, easy to set up, and it pays for itself.
Every customer who connects is a marketing touchpoint
Most businesses offer free WiFi. Almost none of them get anything back from it. Your WiFi password is being handed out at the bar, scrawled on a chalkboard, or printed on a card, and you have no idea who's connecting or how often.
Social WiFi changes that. Every login becomes a consented introduction. You get their contact details, they get their WiFi. Everyone wins.

How social WiFi works
Customer connects
They see your branded WiFi name in their device and connect. Your splash page loads automatically.
Splash page invitation
They're invited to follow your Facebook or Instagram, or enter their email. WiFi access is not conditional on following.
They get WiFi, you get a follower
They get connected. You get their consented contact details and a new social follower, automatically.
Re-engage them later
Send a quiet-Tuesday promo, a review request, or a loyalty offer. Turn a one-time visit into a regular.
A full marketing toolkit in your WiFi
Branded splash page
Your logo, your photos, your offer. Every guest sees your brand when they connect.
Social engagement
Facebook and Instagram like/follow prompts built into the login flow. Voluntary but prominent.

Repeat visitor analytics
See who's visiting regularly, who's new, and what days are quiet, so you can act on the data.
Vouchers & promos
Distribute discount codes, special offers or loyalty vouchers at point of WiFi login.
Email tool integration
Connect your captured email list directly to Mailchimp, Brevo, Klaviyo or your preferred platform.
Operations network
Separate, secure network for your till, card readers and back-office, isolated from guest traffic.

What does it cost?
We don't publish prices here, every venue is different. But to give you a rough idea: typical pubs and small venues start from a one-off hardware and install cost plus a low monthly support fee.
Many businesses find the system pays for itself within a few months through increased repeat visits driven by email marketing.

What is social WiFi?
Social WiFi is guest WiFi with a branded login page (captive portal) that lets you collect consented customer data and encourage social media engagement. When a customer connects to your WiFi, they see your splash page, which can invite them to follow your social profiles, enter their email, and accept your marketing.
Can I force customers to follow me on Facebook?
No, and this is important for GDPR compliance. Access to WiFi cannot be conditional on following you on social media. Our system presents the invitation clearly and attractively, but customers can always bypass it. The good news is that a well-designed invitation gets a genuinely high voluntary take-up rate, customers who are in your venue and enjoying themselves are often happy to follow you.
Is social WiFi GDPR compliant?
Yes, when set up correctly, and ours is. Our system uses genuine double opt-in for email marketing consent, clearly separates service terms from marketing consent, and gives users a simple way to access WiFi without opting into marketing. Data collected belongs to you (where consented) and we never sell or share it. We'd recommend running your own privacy notice past your legal advisor, but the system itself is designed from the ground up for compliance.
What customer data do I actually get?
With consented customers, you get their email address, date and time of connection, visit frequency, and optionally their name. You can see repeat visitor rates and use the data to build targeted email campaigns, completely legally.
Do I need a fast broadband connection?
A standard fibre connection is usually sufficient for most venues. We'll assess your bandwidth needs during the quote and advise if an upgrade is needed, but the majority of pubs and restaurants with a standard FTTP or FTTC connection are well covered.
Can I change the splash page myself?
Yes. You get access to a simple dashboard where you can update your logo, background image, offer text and call to action. For more substantial changes, our support team can help, usually as soon as we can.
