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 check-in in 6-8 seconds. If you really want to get tricky, we can 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 know how many characters you are at.
What info should I capture?
Contact info is the first priority. After that, you have full control to capture additional info as needed. Popular data would be 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 Loyalty Programs, Digital Signatures, & Lead Capture.
What is the average Return On Investment?
When calculating an ROI it’s important to consider what a customer is worth to your business, and then ask yourself how much revenue would increase if each customer came in one more time per year? One more time per month? One more time per week? CityGro offers the ability to constantly communicate with past customers so they don’t forget about you. Our average business adds 2,000 people to their database each year. This amounts to a $20,000 increase in revenue for every additional $10 dollars spent!
What type of support do you offer?
Helping CityGro customers succeed is the only reason we are in business. Our Account Pro Team offers dedicated support to ensure your questions are answered.
Where do I find the kiosk app?
The free “Kiosk for iPad” app can be found in the iPad App Store. Search for “Kiosk for iPad” or “CityGro” and you will find it.
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.

"Since we started using CityGro, we have gotten rid of the cost of punch cards, employees don’t have to insert the phone numbers and emails from business cards we used to collect, and now that we have thousands of people in our network, we don’t have to reach people through third-party advertising. It costs us a couple cents to contact a customer, and even if it takes 10 messages to bring them back, it is extremely profitable."
