HOTSPOT FREE SOCIAL: CREATE THE BUZZ FOR YOUR BUSINESS



While giving out free Wi-Fi, you can Promote your own Facebook Page, get new “LIKEs” and social recommendations from your customers. This increases your business' visibility, customer engagement and sales.



HOW DOES IT WORK?


After connecting to your Wi-Fi network, customers are forwarded to your own splash page. Based on your setup, they may have to like your page before they can use the internet for free. A message can also be posted on their walls in the background,like
“Enjoying free internet @ Starducks Cafe, great! :)”.




ADVANTAGES OF FACEBOOK LIKEs


  • More Engaged Users. New “Likes” means more engaged users. According to Facebook, those who click the Facebook Like button are "more engaged, active and connected than the average Facebook user."
  • Expression of Affinity. New “Likes” help to build a more personal relationship with your customers.
  • Viral Syndication of Content. Whenever you post something to your Facebook Page, it has the potential of appearing in the news feed of your Fans. The more they interact with your page the more people you can reach. You can also post a message on their walls about your business which increases the interaction.
  • Boost the traffic to your page/business. According to Facebook the average user has 130 friends who can also Like your posts once they are published. That means, depending on the number of fans you have, multiplied by the number of friends they have, your content could achieve wide viral syndication. That can lead to increased traffic to your Facebook Page as a result which means more customers and more sales.
  • Learn More About Your Customers. The analytics component of your Facebook Page, called Insights, provides detailed data on fan activity, as well as demographic information such as age, gender and geographic location, all of which can be important for the purposes of market research.


HOW MUCH IS A “LIKE” ON FACEBOOK WORTH?


That is a million dollar question. Some study says they can worth $136.48 USD, but this can be significantly more, or significantly less depending on your business. An average fan may participate with a brand ten times a year and will make one recommendation. But an active fan may participate thirty times and make ten recommendations.
