It’s likely that we, as a society, have never been more social than we are today. What makes this era unique is that we are not only social with those directly around us, as our mobile devices allow us to partake in conversations from around the world. So even as we sit at a bar with our friends, we can jump on our smartphones and scroll through whichever social media platform we prefer or send e-mails and texts to others not at the table.
People today have a need to stay connected, but if we can’t keep our smartphones charged, staying connected isn’t possible. For bar owners, this is an opportunity to stand out from competitors. A multiport USB charging hub gives your customers the option to stay charged and connected, and for this generation, and the generations to come, this means everything.
Benefits of Having Multiport USB Charging Station in Your Bar
For bar owners, there’s much to gain from incorporating a multiport USB charging station in your venue. Some of the most important benefits include:
Increase Revenue
Having a multiport USB charger in your bar will not only offer a convenience to your customers, but it’ll increase your revenue as well. Once customers plug their phones into your USB powered hub, they likely won`t want to leave until their battery’s almost full. Since patrons are more likely to hang around for a little while longer the chances of them ordering another round of drinks or some dessert is greater—the more time customers spend inside your restaurant, the more they’ll order. This will result in increased revenues for you, and satisfied, customers with fully charged devices.
Retain Customers
When you keep customer needs at the forefront of your mind, you’ll easily create a band of loyal customers who are bound to come back with their friends and family in tow. Providing a small convenience like a USB multi-device charger will make your customer feel important. They’ll be more likely to return to your establishment, versus your competitors’, to take advantage of the luxuries that your business offers.
Security & Liability
Having a USB charging station for multiple devices available for customer use will give them a convenience they need and will probably ask for anyways. In emergency situations, customers are likely to ask bartenders to charge their cellphones behind the bar if they don’t see a charging station for multiple devices present. In these cases, it’s possible for them to complain or accuse you for being liable for any lost or stolen items. However, they won`t need to leave their phone unattended when you have a portable charger readily available, which will help you avoid these tricky situations.
Advertise
You can use a charging kiosk as a way to draw customers in to your bar, and use it to advertise current or upcoming specials. You can highlight your multiport USB charger in fliers and online ads to create traffic and also use the physical charger as an ad space. This will also help out bar and wait staff since they won’t have to recite the daily specials to every individual customer.
Courtesy During Rush Hours
The last thing anyone wants to do is run home between work and dinner plans to charge their phone. Cellphones can take up to an hour to reach a sufficient charge, and not everyone has that kind of time to sit around. Customers who’ve forgotten their own power banks will be thankful you’ve spared them the headache of waiting for their phone for charge for what feels like forever.
Word-of-Mouth Advertising
When customers are pleased with your service and they way they were treated at your establishment, they`re more likely to give positive reviews to their friends and family. As you know, word-of-mouth advertising is more valuable than any commercial or ad—hearing feedback from trusted individuals that customers know wouldn`t lead them astray is more effective than any other type of advertisement. Nothing can replace the words of a trusted friend or family member!
