Networks

AnchorFree’s Network solutions give brands the power to engage their consumer audience while at their own broadband Hotspots. Whether you’re a hospitality services, restaurant, or retail chain – with many physical locations, AnchorFree can transform your existing Hotspot network into a powerful co-branded communications medium. Our data shows that the average hotspot session lasts in excess of 60 minutes; imagine the dialogue and engagement you can offer to YOUR consumers while they’re on-line throughout every page of their Internet browser experience – at YOUR venue.

YOUR venue … YOUR Hotspot … YOUR consumers … YOUR message – delivered exactly where and when you want it.

Our hotspot communications network offers a measurable and accountable means to deliver a captivating dialogue right at the point of consumption. So, if your goals are to drive incremental transactions, reinforce in-venue promotions, achieve stronger branding, or even offer localized services, we’ve got you covered. Think of our solution as a virtual portal into your e-commerce, on-line, and loyalty assets – along with a captive advertising capability to earn incremental revenue from non-competitive and contextually/locally targeted ads.

Contact us today to learn more about more fully integrating your brand message and promotional offers within your Hotspots while offering broadband Hotspot access to your consumer audience.
