This way of communicating your brand’s name can reach out not only to long-time customers, but also to people in proximity. Once the first step has been taken – coming to the HoReCa location you’ve spotted on the map to pick up an external battery – you can introduce them to the services you offer through other marketing tools: promotions and great prices, menus with compelling photos and descriptions, pleasant ambience, pet-friendliness of the location etc.

Increase the retention rate on-site

If they can charge their mobile phone, smartwatch or any other device they carry with them in an extremely simple way, those who enter the place will not feel the same urgent need to leave. Therefore, prolonged presence in the bar, restaurant or café within the network you manage may lead them to purchase a greater amount of menu items.
