Telemat’s team have experience of working with towns to reap the benefits of the systems by showing them how to use the data from the Wi-Fi.
Schemes that Telemat have delivered include using the data for tracking visitor movements around towns and encouraging return visits via marketing through Social Media. The marketing initiatives include highlighting key events, key shopping days and businesses in the towns offering promotions.
