Business Profile: Purple | B Corp™ (guest, staff & multi-tenant WiFi that pays for itself)

Headquartered in Oldham, Greater Manchester, Purple is a certified B Corp WiFi platform for venues, offices & small businesses with three great products on offer:

1. guest WiFi that captures consented first-party data
2. staff WiFi that onboards employee devices with certificate-based authentication
3. multi-tenant WiFi that gives every resident a private network

What kind of venues use Purple?

Purple is already live across 80,000+ venues worldwide including hospitality, retail, stadiums, healthcare, transport hubs, local government, student accommodation & multi-tenant residential buildings.

Named deployments include Greene King, Pizza Express, Michael Kors, the Formula 1 Mexico City Grand Prix, McDonald’s, Harrods & Chase Bank.

As a venue owner, what can Purple tell you about visitors?

Purple collects genuine first-party data at the sign-in moment & the venue decides what it asks. Custom fields capture whatever is useful to the business, from where someone has travelled from today to which products they want to see. Surveys go further & gather customer sentiment from people while they are still in the venue.

Alongside that, Purple provides website-level analytics for a physical space, reporting unique visitors, new versus repeat, average dwell, peak days & times & the demographics behind them.

Because every sign-in is verified & consented, the two sit together as a single, richer customer database that builds with every visit & flows into the marketing platform the venue already runs.

Run a small business?

‘Purple Starter’ is a free guest WiFi platform that lets you capture visitor data, deliver a branded login experience & gain insights into footfall - all without any monthly fees.

This works with most existing WiFi access points but there’s also a plug & play option (the ‘Purple Hub‘) which you can order for just £99, can be live in 5 minutes & is fully-compliant with no IT skills or engineer required.

Want to learn more?

Purple WiFi is already available in over 90 countries worldwide, is well-established in the North West of England (where they are headquartered) & has partnered with Newcastle City Council to create one of the world’s first unified, city-wide public networks. This service spans council buildings, libraries, public outdoor spaces & commercial venues ranging from large hubs to small cafes in areas like Jesmond.
