CAPTIVATE your audience, delight your sponsors

CAPTIVATE CUSTOM BRANDED LOGIN SCREEN

The phone screen takeover that guests and sponsors love.

PopUp WiFi’s CAPTIVATE transforms your guest network into a powerful marketing tool, offering measurable ROI for event internet sponsors. CAPTIVATE lets sponsors take your guests on a journey from an in-person event experience to the online destination of their choice, via a custom branded login screen. This automatically redirects users to the sponsor’s web page of their choosing, allowing them to select the message that best relates to your event demographic.

But CAPTIVATE offers more than just audience “exposure.” It provides sponsors with real-time data on website traffic generated from your event, giving them a concrete metric to compare with other paid online advertising methods. Plus, with the optional feature of data capture fields on the login screen, brands see the value in investing more. By using CAPTIVATE, sponsors can expand their email lists, launch competitions, or conduct surveys. All of this enhances the internet experience for your guests, growing the love for your event from attendees and brands alike.

Add CAPTIVATE to any PopUp WiFi rental, starting at $199.

Add CAPTIVATE to offset the cost of temporary internet for your event.

The Beer InCider Experience needed internet for vendor POS terminals across a large, spread-out site. To cover the whole site with signal, they needed several PopUp WiFi units. The vendors 7 staff only used 10% of the available capacity on the WiFi, so there were 100s of spare connections available. Beer Incider added CAPTIVATE to a separate lower-priority guest network, boosting their marketing ROI & their guest experience. Their essential production devices connected to a separate, priority network secured with a password, unaffected by the guests using their WiFi. Cheers everyone!

The result? Fast internet for the fans, great ROI for the brand – and enhanced overall event cashflow.
