The Social Diner brings visit measurement to its restaurant clients

The Social Diner, a hospitality marketing agency, wanted to show its restaurant clients what its campaigns did in their dining rooms. Adentro (formerly Zenreach) gave the agency Guest WiFi contact capture, visit-based email, feedback alerts, and Walk-Through Rate™ to measure return visits.

The challenge

Andrew Voirol's agency sold marketing to restaurants and needed offline conversion measurement against its digital campaigns.

Clients collected contacts manually, through comment cards and fishbowls of business cards.

Slow responses to online complaints meant a worse experience for guests.

The solution

1. Guest WiFi: Replace the fishbowl with WiFi sign-ups

Clients' guests traded their email for access through a branded Guest WiFi portal.

Each connection recorded the visit and built a Customer Data profile, so client lists kept growing with current information.

2. Email Marketing: Send timed offers based on visit data

Audience Segmentation let Andrew identify guests who had not visited for some time, and Email Marketing sent them a timed offer to come back.

Birthday emails went out the same way.

3. Feedback alerts: Address problems before they become reviews

For some clients, Andrew used Adentro to request feedback and receive real-time alerts about bad experiences.

Clients fixed issues before they became bad reviews, and positive experiences were directed to preferred review sites.

4. Walk-Through Rate™: Show clients the return on their marketing

Walk-Through Rate™ showed Andrew how many customers came back after an email, giving him visit-based proof for his clients.

The results

  • 33% higher star ratings, average increase for clients, by the owner's estimate, not a controlled finding
  • Positive feedback increased after implementing Adentro
  • Certified Adentro partner since 2017
