Connected Mobile Experiences

Customer Engagement

The ability to capture new customers and keep existing customers by delivering more value is essential to continued growth in all customer-facing industries. Cisco Connected Mobile Experiences allows customers to connect through your onsite Wi-Fi and opens a direct channel of communication that lets you better understand and deliver what your customers want.

When you more effectively engage your customers, you can:

• Increase loyalty of existing customers, reduce cost of acquiring new customers, and extend the relationship with current customers
• Provide a more attractive relationship with new customers by providing them with a personalized experience not available through competitors
• Increase point-of-sale opportunities by providing key information at critical decision points in the purchase process
• Reduce potential for showrooming by co-opting perceived online pricing advantage while the customer is in your venue
• Increase customer satisfaction by helping them make a decision more aligned with their needs

Venue Efficiency

By helping you better understand how your customers actually behave while onsite, Cisco Connected Mobile Experiences helps you maximize the use of your floor plan. With this improved insight, you can:

• Determine the most trafficked location to position or price products or services
• Adjust venue layout to optimize traffic flow in periods of high use
• Adjust venue layout to place goods or services along most used pathways
• Staff service locations to accommodate customer flows and time of day
• Evaluate impact of floor plan adjustments
