| n/a | Real-time Reporting The real-time reporting functionality provided by RedButton's Free WiFi product, as illustrated below, gives restaurant management the ability to analyse the effects of their campaign and to adjust the campaign to reach the desired boost in traditional sales.  Real-time reporting Who's using RedButton Free WiFi? Although only recently released, RedButton's Free WiFi product is already available at the following locations: RedButton's Free WiFi product is primarily intended to be used as a means of boosting your revenue via traditional sales. Should you give end users a large free allowance (e.g. unlimited free Internet, or 1GB daily) users will naturally never purchase after their free allowance has been used up.
Should you choose a small allowance, say 10MB per day, then you may find the odd user purchasing additional credit, either by credit card or voucher, after their allowance has run out. This is why revenue is paid out; however this is not intended to be the primary way in which RedButton's Free WiFi product boosts your business.
It is important to note that with RedButton's Free WiFi product you have the flexibility to give out free Internet in any way you want to. For example should you wish to only give out free Internet using vouchers you can run your hotspot on that basis.
Should you be interested in a strictly prepaid hotspot, please see RedButton's Prepaid WiFi product. Monthly Charges RedButton Standard and Premium versions cost R299 incl. VAT and R599 incl. VAT per month respectively. Please note that these rates apply to hotspots that require a single router to cover the venue (this is the case with probably 99% of coffee shops and restaurants). Please inquire about service charges for larger venues (e.g. multi-storyed hotels) that require multiple routers to cover the venue. |
