Loyalty Starts Before the Order - by Georgina

The 15-Second MomentMention loyalty in hospitality and many operators immediately think discounts, points cards, and race-to-the-bottom promotions. But what if we’ve been thinking about loyalty all wrong? In this solo episode, Georgina explores why loyalty has a branding problem, why true loyalty has nothing to do with vouchers, and what actually makes guests want to come back.  The conversation centres around what Captive WiFi calls the “15-second moment” — the short window when a guest first connects to WiFi, before they’ve even looked at the menu. Georgina explains why this is one of the most overlooked opportunities in hospitality and how venues can begin building meaningful guest relationships from the very start of the visit.Along the way, she shares the story of Regency Club, explores the difference between loyalty and belonging, and explains why the venues guests return to most often are the ones where they feel seen, remembered and known.#Hospitality #GuestExperience #CustomerLoyalty #RestaurantMarketing #HospitalityTech #CaptiveWiFi #CaptiveConversations
