How to Use Free WiFi to Get the Most out of Your Events.

Offering free wifi to your event visitors or expo stand patrons with the assistance of a reliable event WiFi rental company has many benefits.

The first of these is obvious and that it the perceived generosity the visitor feels from you providing them with free WiFi. But you can do so much more to maximize your lead generation and brand exposure by providing free wifi.

You can live stream from your event or stand to platforms like Facebook or YouTube thus allowing visitors to follow the action at your event.

You can run competitions like scratch and win, quizzes, and lucky draws for visitors that complete your lead generation based registration forms, thus opting in for future communications with your company.

You can do surveys and polls about your product and generate some extremely useful user feedback.

Using a login splash page where visitors register their information and opt into communication in order to receive free wifi is also a good option.

Splash pages are also able to provide a quick video advert of your product before the visitor proceeds to browse the web.

With most of these services come useful metrics and tracking data which can help you get feedback and ascertain the success of your event.

With live registration desks and the right software, you can immediately fire off an email to the visitor providing them with a full agenda and briefing on the days’ events.

Most venues do not offer the facility to provide free wifi to all of its attendees and very soon their routers will reach maximum capacity and start providing very slow wifi service. Most of them will only provide free wifi for the exhibitors and their staff.

To this end, it is better to provide your own wifi infrastructure for attendees that might be interested in your product or may want to download your apps or brochures.

Using a reputable wifi rental company is often the best solution here. 

Reliable wifi rental companies will often provide the full bouquet of services mentioned above as well as provide other equipment such as tablets or PC’s that assist with the lead generation and after event communication. 

Their wireless access points (AP’s) provide the ability to log on many users at the same time as well as offer an extended wifi range which is really useful at outdoor events.
