Hundreds of guests connect to your WiFi every week and you capture nothing. CaptiveFlow changes that — guests enter their email to get online, and you build a marketing list without lifting a finger.
You already offer free WiFi — it's table stakes for any pub now. But right now, dozens of people connect every session and you get absolutely nothing back. No names, no emails, no way to reach them again. They walk out the door and you're relying on chance to bring them back.
You've probably tried social media. You post about your weekend specials, your live music, your new menu — and the algorithm decides whether anyone sees it. You don't own that audience. Facebook could throttle your reach tomorrow and there's nothing you can do about it.
Meanwhile, you've got no way to reach Saturday night's crowd on a quiet Tuesday. No way to tell last week's regulars about Thursday's quiz night. Collecting emails at the till or on a clipboard doesn't scale — nobody fills them in, and your staff have better things to do.
Here's the thing: your guests are already happy to tap in their email for WiFi access. They do it at hotels, airports, coffee shops — they expect it. You're just not asking.
The Shamrock Social in Nottingham built a 500+ marketing opt-in list in under a month — just from their guest WiFi.
