How does CityGro work?
CityGro is a simple to use, but highly advanced marketing software for businesses of all types. The philosophy is to collect customer data using powerful tools. This data then allows businesses to analyze and automate communication with their customers.
How long does it take for a customer to check in?
This depends on the amount of data you want to capture. When time is sensitive (restaurants, quick serve, etc.), we suggest only asking for necessary information. When only a phone number is asked for a customer can complete the process in 6-8 seconds. If you’d like to collect more information without clogging up your in-store line, send a link in a text so people can fill out more information from their mobile phone.
How many characters are allowed in a text message?
Text messages allow 160 total characters. If your message has more than 160 characters it will send as two messages. CityGro displays a character counter on each text message, so you are aware of how many characters you have used.
What information should I capture?
Contact info should be first priority. After that, you have full control to capture additional info as needed. Popular data to collect is birthdays, names, interests, demographics, etc.
What is a CityGro Kiosk?
The term kiosk can be a fairly broad term. As it pertains to CityGro, the kiosk includes a tablet and enclosure and is used to allow customers to quickly interact with your business. The most common uses are for Loyalty Programs, Digital Signatures, and Lead Capture.
What is the average Return on Investment (ROI)?
What type of support do you offer?
Where do I find the kiosk app?
The free “Kiosk for iPad” app can be found in the iPad App Store. To find the app, search “Kiosk for iPad” or “CityGro”.
Once downloaded, simply enter your admin email and password to access your account.
Who has access to my data?
You and you alone. CityGro will never share, sell, or send messages to your contacts.
