  • The launch reinforces Purple’s mission to make WiFi a utility that drives measurable business outcomes through intelligent guest engagement.

Turning WiFi into a Loyalty Engine

In today’s competitive landscape, local businesses struggle with customer retention amid rising costs and shifting consumer behavior. Purple Engage transforms everyday guest WiFi interactions into a compliant, automated marketing channel. Businesses capture opted-in customer data at the point of visit, segment audiences, and send targeted, personalized emails that encourage repeat visits—all managed from a single, intuitive interface.

The platform eliminates the need for complex tools or dedicated marketing staff. By focusing on core essentials—data collection, segmentation, and automated campaigns—Engage delivers results without overwhelming users. Purple’s proven ecosystem shows venues using similar engagement strategies achieve a 24% uplift in return visits, helping owners compete more effectively.

“This launch represents a pivotal stride in our mission to empower venues, from small businesses to global enterprises, to deliver a guest experience that drives loyalty,” said Gavin Wheeldon, CEO of Purple. “Businesses face mounting pressures, and this initiative arms them with the digital intelligence to attract more customers and compete in a tough market.”

Built for Simplicity, Compliance, and Impact

Engage stands out with three core pillars:

  • Data Collection & Compliance — Captures fully opted-in contacts via WiFi, removing GDPR and privacy concerns for owners.
  • Delightful Simplicity — An easy-to-use interface designed for busy operators, eliminating unused enterprise bloat.
  • High-Impact Value — Affordable pricing and proven loyalty results make it accessible and effective for SMEs and larger chains alike.

The platform integrates seamlessly into existing operations and works hardware-agnostically, making adoption straightforward for venues of any size or tech setup.
