Wireless Charging: The Future for Businesses
Wireless charging enables anyone to charge their phone or tablet on the go. Any industry, including hospitality, retail and leisure can benefit in many ways by offering their customers and staff wireless charging:
Wireless charging pads provide an incentive to visit
Imagine two coffee shops, one with and one without wireless charging. Which one do you visit?
If you have wireless charging pads or kiosks, you offer the opportunity to rid people of low battery anxiety; a monumental incentive for customers. Wireless charging facilities can help attract new customers, no matter their preferences and increase overall footfall. Whether you’re a fast food restaurant, clothing store or supermarket, those on the go will stop by to charge their phone (with no cost or effort required) even if your product is of no initial interest to them.
Customers will spend more time at your business
Fortunately for your business, charging a device still takes time. Now the customer is in your store and charging their device, they’re more likely to browse and make a purchase. The option to use their phone for calls, personal use and more – without the limitations of a low battery, will mean they may stay longer. Wireless charging is especially beneficial for the hospitality industry; professionals or students can visit for lunch and hold a meeting or study with their tablets – meaning they’re more likely to order that second coffee.
A more efficient way to operate your business
If you use tablets or tablet kiosks within your business (here’s 5 reasons why you should), wireless charging can ensure they’re available 24/7. Staff with iPads can look up stock, take orders, collect data and place the device on a wireless charging pad or charging kiosk, wherever or whenever they need.
The healthcare industry is a good example of this; it is introducing electronic tablet systems, which would be made easy with wireless charging. Offices can take inspiration from this too – and permit mobile working environments by placing wireless charging pads in meeting rooms, break rooms and communal office spaces.
Boost your marketing
Introducing wireless charging pads at exhibitions and tradeshows can enhance your marketing by attracting more people to your station. Collect and send data with wireless charging pads and beacons, a relatively new technology that transmits data using Bluetooth. This allows businesses to send messages to consumers phones as soon as they’re within proximity, such as alerting them to a special offer in store. It can also collect data such as device brand or type, enabling businesses to improve their digital marketing strategies by understanding their customers better.
