In today’s connected world, offering free guest WiFi is no longer a luxury—it’s expected. From cafés and restaurants to hotels and retail spaces, customers assume they’ll be able to get online quickly and easily.
But for many businesses, that’s where the opportunity ends. They provide WiFi… and get nothing in return.
At Carden Hotspots, we help businesses turn guest WiFi into a powerful marketing tool—starting with a custom splash page. With just one simple screen, you can build brand awareness, promote offers, collect valuable customer data, and much more.
What Is a Splash Page?
A splash page is the first screen your customers see when they connect to your guest WiFi. Think of it as your digital welcome mat.
Rather than sending users straight to the internet, you can redirect them to a branded login page where they can:
- Accept your terms and conditions
- Enter their email address or mobile number
- Log in using their social media account
- View your latest promotion or offer
With Carden Hotspots, your splash page is fully branded—with your logo, colours, messaging, and even custom banners or calls-to-action.
The Benefits of Custom Splash Pages
Custom splash pages do far more than provide access to the internet—they create opportunities to engage with your audience.
- ✅ Reinforce Your Brand: Make a lasting impression by displaying your branding as soon as a customer connects. It’s a professional touch that builds trust and familiarity.
- ✅ Promote Offers and Events: Use your splash page to highlight time-limited discounts, upcoming events, or new products and services. It’s the perfect moment to capture your customer’s attention.
- ✅ Collect Valuable Customer Data: Ask users to enter an email address, phone number, or even respond to a quick survey. This information can be used for remarketing, feedback, or loyalty schemes—all while remaining GDPR-compliant.
- ✅ Grow Your Social Media Following: Encourage users to follow your Instagram or Facebook page in exchange for access. This can significantly boost your online presence and engagement.
- ✅ Gain Customer Insights: Track how many users connect, how long they stay, and how often they return. These insights help you understand customer behaviour and improve your services.
Real-World Use Cases
- ☕ Cafés and Restaurants: Encourage users to sign up to your loyalty programme or showcase your weekend brunch specials.
- 🛍 Retail Stores: Offer in-store exclusive discount codes for users who log in, increasing both footfall and basket size.
- 🏨 Hotels and Holiday Parks: Collect feedback during guest stays and promote upsell opportunities like spa treatments or local tours.
- 💪 Gyms and Salons: Share class timetables or referral bonuses, encouraging members to bring friends.
