WiFi marketing is the practice of using a business's guest WiFi network to capture customer data, build an email marketing list, and deliver targeted marketing campaigns to people who have visited a physical location. MailToucan's WiFi marketing suite replaces a standard guest WiFi login with a branded captive portal that collects customer names, email addresses, birthdays, and preferences before granting internet access — automatically adding each customer to a CRM and triggering personalised email campaigns through Tou-can AI.

Traditional website email signup forms convert between 1.5% and 3% of visitors. WiFi captive portals using MailToucan's branded portal design convert at an average of 89% — because customers are motivated to connect in the moment and the exchange (WiFi for data) feels fair and immediate.

Captive portal

What Is a WiFi Captive Portal — and What Does MailToucan Include?

First impressions that work for you.

Fully Branded Portal

Your logo, your colours, your message. The portal is an extension of your brand — not a generic screen.

Smart Data Capture

Name, email, birthday, phone, preferences — all with GDPR consent built in. Every single login.

Email Verification

Every email verified at the point of capture. No typos. No fake emails. Every address in your CRM is real.

Returning Recognition

Customers are auto-reconnected on return. Their visit history updates in your CRM in real time.

Mobile First

Stunning on every device — because 95% of your customers are connecting from their phone.

GDPR Compliant

Explicit consent checkbox, privacy policy link, unsubscribe always included. Legal covered.

The big differentiator

Don't just capture data — create an experience.

While customers are connected to your WiFi, serve them interactive campaigns. They engage. You learn. Everyone wins.

Spin the Wheel

Win a discount, free item or loyalty bonus. They spin, they win — and you capture their email in the same moment.

VS Battle

Burger vs Wrap? Latte vs Flat White? Real preference data that tells Tou-can exactly what to promote to each customer.

Mystery Box

“Tap to reveal your exclusive offer.” Everyone loves a mystery — it drives engagement and makes customers feel special.

Birthday Collector

The most natural data capture there is. Tou-can auto-sends a birthday offer on the day — the highest-converting email type.

Surveys

2–3 quick questions while they're connected. Real feedback that feeds your CRM and Tou-can's insights engine.

Flash a promotion, new menu item, upcoming event or loyalty invite. Every customer sees it. Every action is tracked.
