Create a Better Guest Experience and
Turn Your Wi-Fi Into a Marketing Machine!
Automatically connect with your guests when they connect to your Wi-Fi. Monetize your Wi-Fi by capturing valuable guest social data, increasing guest engagement, direct re-bookings and positive online reviews. Grow your email list, social media following and online presence with STRWiFi, a Social Powered Guest Wi-Fi Marketing Machine.
What is STRWiFi?
Unlike traditional Wi-Fi, which requires users to locate the network name and type in a complicated password, Short Term Rental WiFi (STRWiFi) is a Social Powered Wi-Fi Marketing Machine that makes it simple for guests to quickly and easily connect through a “Social Login Portal”. Guests are presented with a professional looking login page with your branding and direct contact details. This innovative solution allows guests to connect to the Wi-Fi network using social media logins like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google, VK, or even an Email or Phone Number. Plus it gives your guest a unique experience and builds trust by providing them with personalized Wi-Fi access.
What is the Core benefit of Social Powered Guest Wi-Fi?
STRWiFi not only provides your guests with an easy way to connect to Wi-Fi, but also provides a way for you to instantly connect (engage) with your guests. When your guests connect to the Wi-Fi using their social media login, their data is collected and stored for immediate and future engagement. The data collected provides you with a wealth of information about your guests… information not typically shared by OTA’s (online travel agencies like AirBnB). Imagine for a second, being able to communicate directly (maybe for the first time ever) with ALL of YOUR guests. PLUS, it allows your guests the ability to connect with you directly instead of having to communicate through booking sites.
How will Social Powered Wi-Fi grow your STR business?
The power is in the list! Social Powered Wi-Fi is the key to growing your contact list, increasing “direct” re-bookings through guest engagement, special offers and much more. Automated messaging will help grow positive online reviews, improve your online presence and capture new audiences while creating a “following”. Staying connected with people who already have an interest in your product will boost sales and create customer retention that could last a lifetime. Even if you already have the contact details of the booker, you are still missing opportunities to connect with the other guests in the rental party. STRWiFi now makes it possible to connect DIRECTLY with each and every member of the rental party.
How does STRWiFi increase Bookings and 5-Star Online Reviews?
STRWiFi combines the power of a Captive Wi-Fi Portal with Digital Marketing Agency Services. Essentially, we’ve paired two technologies… Guest Social Wi-Fi and Online “Digital” Marketing! Our Captive Social Wi-Fi Portal provides a platform to collect and monetize guest data when guests connect to the Wi-Fi. Once that data is collected, we implement Direct Response Target Marketing strategies to increase brand awareness, guest engagement, online reputation (reviews) and customer retention. Strategies such as Email/SMS Campaigns, Reputation Marketing, Content Development, Newsletters, SEO and Social Media Marketing are just a few of the tools we implement to increase your profits. In a nut shell, STRWiFi provides your STR Business with white-glove, turn-key, done-for-you marketing services that are hyper focused on the Short Term Rental Market. Our “Intelligent Marketing Solution” is engineered to bring you more bookings and increase 5-star reviews. And it all begins when your guest connect to the Wi-Fi.
Connect Your Guests & Connect With Your Guests.
Connecting Your Guest
Step 1: Guest Social Wi-Fi Login Page
STRWiFi provides a custom QR Code so guests can quickly and easily connect to the Wi-Fi without the hassle of searching for the network name. Once guests connect, your branded login page (splash page) displays a user interface where guests can log in with an email address, phone number or social media account. It’s professional, timely and impressive.
- Guest can easily locate and connect to the Wi-Fi using the Custom QR Code (display). Network name is also displayed for connecting PC's.
- Guest login using their social media login credentials, email address or phone number.
- High Powered Wi-Fi Router, Greater Range, More Speed, Automatic Security Updates and Lifetime Warranty.
Connecting With Your Guest
Step 2: Getting To Know Your Guest
Online travel agencies (AirBnB/VRBO) refuse to provide you with YOUR guests contact details. This is all about growing your database and engaging with your guests! Once your guests have completed their login, they will land on a friendly thank you page and can even be redirected to your Facebook page, a welcome URL, or a video to learn more about you, your property or local venues.
- Automatically send timed personal messages to your guests during and after their stay.
- Encourage guest to like and follow you on social media.
- Realtime Wi-Fi Analytics with Live user Timeline providing Names, Emails, Social Media Profiles and Phone Numbers.
Automated Marketing Machine
Step 3: Increase Bookings and Online Reviews
Two of the most important aspects of your rental business: more bookings and more reviews. Increasing the quality of the bookings and increasing 5-star reviews are even more important. Because your new STRWiFi Machine is collecting the contact details for EVERY guest in the rental party, you increase the number of guests being automatically prompted to leave reviews AND to book DIRECTLY with you in the future. There is not a faster or an easier way to increase online reviews, than with Social Powered Wi-Fi!
- Guest Engagement and Rebooking Campaigns.
- Automatic Reviews Request and Reputation Management.
- Retargeting Ads and Social Media Marketing.
Wi-Fi Marketing Services
Grow Your Vacation Rental Business With Social Powered Wi-Fi Marketing
Your Brand
It's important that guests know who you are and how to connect with you. This can be accomplished instantly when your guests connect to the Wi-Fi; with a custom look and user friendly Wi-Fi login page displaying your brand name, logo, email, website and phone number.
Collect & Monetize
When it comes to marketing, the bigger the contact list, the more people you can market to (reach). The math is simple; increase your email list - increase your bookings and online reviews. The brilliant part about this marketing machine is that you are collecting data from "qualified" buyers. These are HOT leads that can be converted into more bookings.
Engagement
Guests want to know more about you and your offers. Creating engaging newsletters, special offers, a social following, and friendly email blasts will provide guests with more opportunities to connect with you. Stay connected with your guests long after they've checked-out. Make your guest feel important and special by including them in personal messages like birthday wishes and holiday salutations.
Social Powered Wi-Fi

With instant reconnect, returning guests can easily connect to the Wi-Fi without having to login. Returning guests are presented with a friendly ‘Welcome Back’ message, connecting them instantly.
Marketing Ads
Add more value to your social login page with custom ads promoting your brand or services. Additionally you can provide opportunities for local venues or niche service providers by selling them ad space on your social login page. Guests can click on the ad to be redirected to redeem special offers. Ad space is available on pre-login, interstitial and post-login pages. Track click-through rates and impressions, showing vendors the value of Wi-Fi marketing Ads.
Data & Analytics
It's important to know as much about your guest (target market) as possible. The more you know about the people who spend money with you, the better you can create compelling offers to encourage them to spend with you again. Your STRWiFi Marketing Machine will collect more data in a single month, than other platforms collect in a year.
Reputation Management
There's not a more powerful platform for increasing positive online reviews than with Social Powered Wi-Fi. Upon check-out, automatically encourage every guest in the rental party to leave a review. Automatically redirect negative reviews in house to manage issues privately and direct positive feedback to the review sites that are most important to you. Generate reviews, monitor reviews, respond to reviews, market your reviews and measure your reputation all from a single portal.
Social Media Interaction
Strategically implementing our Social Media Tools, STRWiFi can retarget guests, their friends and their family members when they open platforms like Facebook.

Optionally, we can target new audiences through social media ad's, growing your marketing list and increasing bookings. With an imbedded Facebook Profile Header, your guests can also Like and Follow you right from the Wi-Fi login page.
Automated Messaging
Guest engagement begins as soon as your guests connect to your Wi-Fi. With our "if-this-do-that" triggers, you'll have a hands-free marketing platform providing timely messages automatically when guests connect, disconnect and reconnect to your Wi-Fi. Automatically check in on your guest with a quick message insuring they are enjoying their stay. Trigger thank you messages and reviews requests upon check-out and invite them to stay with you again, even months later. Messages can be sent via email, Facebook messenger or SMS/Text.
