Mood Media Launches New Social Marketing Tool Using Free WiFi

AUSTIN, Texas --(Business Wire)--

Mood Media, the global leader in Experience Design, today announced its latest in a series of interactive marketing solutions for local small- and medium-sized businesses, Mood Social WiFi (News - Alert). The solution allows clients to offer free, branded WiFi to their customers while providing the business with the additional benefit of a simple and robust marketing tool designed to seamlessly integrate with the brand's social channels. With this tool, businesses can effortlessly grow their social networks, gather valuable customer information and develop simple, targeted marketing campaigns.

Subscribers to the service are provided a special Mood Social WiFi router that is connected to the business's existing broadband Internet service. While in the location, customers seeking a connection are prompted to select the free WiFi on their mobile devices. Once connected, they are directed to a custom login page where they are invited to connect with the business on social media in exchange for using the free connection.

With this solution, businesses use their free WiFi service to increase their followings on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter (News - Alert). Mood Social WiFi also includes an online dashboard wherebusinesses can view an analysis of customer demographics by age, gender and location, and drive targeted marketing and social content to all or part of their customer base.

The new marketing tool is designed specifically for local and regional businesses that lack the time and resources to actively build their social network. Once the specially programmed router is in place, businesses will be able to organically grow their social media networks, making it an easy solution for small-and medium-sized business owners who want to improve their online presence.

David Van Epps, Global Chief Product Officer at Mood Media, said, "We are very encouraged by the positive results we've seen with our testing, and we anticipate this tool to be a significant asset to small- and medium-sized businesses who are looking to raise brand awareness and increase their social media activity. Mood continues to focus its new product development on enhancing the customer experience and providing greater value to Mood subscribers. Mood Social WiFi is another innovative solution intended to help Mood clients connect to their customers at all points in the retail journey."
