WiFi to help you generate foot traffic
In today’s online world, most shopping is done online without any need to actually step inside a store. Those who do enter stores are looking for a more personal touch. To keep them coming back you’ll need to ensure great service, including responsive services and special discounts.
Used to the ease and speed of online purchasing, physical retails can often struggle to keep up with this level of service, especially without dedicated tech on staff. Luckily, with Aruba Instant On, stores can create, scale, and secure the best experience for customers to keep them coming back.
Scale “in” store shopping
 |
Some small businesses use outdoor pick-up stations and seasonal pop-up shops to create valuable routes of revenue, however, this needs to be supported with reliable WiFi. Unstable WiFi connections surrounding these ventures can create less-than-ideal digital checkouts and lags in communications for both employees and shoppers. |
With Aruba Instant On Access Points, you can ensure your WiFi coverage extends as far as you need it to, especially with their outdoor AP options. Keep your business running lag free with high-performance Aruba connectivity.
Customize touch for shoppers
 |
In today’s always-on world customers expect to be able to connect online even when they enter a physical store. Through access to online reviews or checking pricing, providing your customers with WiFi can create an opportunity for you to further engage with your customers and spotlight special deals. |
Aruba’s Instant On can allow you to create a captive portal to give only your customers WiFi. With password protection, customizable logo and colours, and the option to feature special offers, you can provide your customers with a unique personalised experience to make their shop visit fun and exciting.
Aruba’s access points can also support inventory checks, headsets, and tablets to ensure inventory checks and payments can be streamlined for faster service.
Uncompromising store security
 |
With credit cards and pin codes going through stores daily, small shops have to handle large amounts of sensitive data on a day-to-day basis. Due to this, alongside the constant coming and going of employees and shoppers, small stores can leave their networks very vulnerable. |
Prevent your network from being compromised using Aruba Instant On access points and switches to segment for your WiFi access, set up OWE authentication, and block application categories, and unauthorized devices. With a free network management app, you can monitor your store’s network and users active.
