This is also faster, as with a few clicks, the audience is logged in and ready to share content. If users are signed in through social media platforms like Facebook, you have access to their name, surname, age, gender, and even emails.

– On the login pages, you can also serve ads of your products and services, especially those that are not displayed at the festival. And if they are displayed at the festival, displaying them online for the users to see can cause them to take further actions of either learning more or engaging with them.
You can get whatever content you want across to your audience if they are going to be using your WiFi, and you are doing that at no additional cost, other then the money used to set up the WiFi with third-party platforms.
