Zoos have something most attractions wish they had: high-intent visitors and long dwell time. The challenge is turning that day-of traffic into measurable outcomes—more memberships, stronger event attendance, better guest experience, and higher on-property revenue.
GoZone Smart Wi‑Fi helps zoos do exactly that:
- Capture opt-in contacts from day visitors (email + optional SMS)
- Promote memberships and events while guests are on property
- Collect quick guest surveys that actually get completed
- Understand traffic patterns and guest journeys to improve flow, staffing, and experience
The core problem: the relationship ends at the exit gate
Most zoos invest heavily to drive visits. But if you’re not consistently capturing opt-ins and learning what guests do on property, you’re missing opportunities to:
- convert first-time visitors into members
- fill seasonal events and after-hours nights
- improve wayfinding and reduce congestion
- increase per-cap spend through helpful, timely offers
Smart Wi‑Fi turns the Wi‑Fi moment into a repeatable growth system.
1) Build an owned audience from day-of visitors
Smart Wi‑Fi turns guest Wi‑Fi access into a branded opt-in experience.
You can capture:
- Email opt-ins
- Optional verified SMS opt-ins
- A quick “intent” question (member vs. day ticket, event attendee, school group, etc.)
Why it matters: Your best audience is the people who already had a great day at your zoo. Opt-ins give you a direct channel for renewals, events, and return visits—without paying for every impression.
2) Convert more memberships while the visit is fresh
Membership conversion is often easiest when guests are enjoying the experience.
Smart Wi‑Fi can support:
- membership offers during the Wi‑Fi experience
- post-visit follow-ups for non-members
- segmentation (first-time vs. returning guests)
Why it matters: Timely membership messaging can lift conversion and improve renewal pipelines.
3) Drive event attendance and advance sales
Events can be a major revenue lever—seasonal lights, after-hours nights, camps, education programs, and limited-capacity experiences.
Smart Wi‑Fi helps you:
- build a list from day visitors
- segment by interest for better engagement
- promote events without starting from scratch every time
Why it matters: Better targeting increases attendance and makes event revenue more predictable.
4) Collect guest surveys that get completed
Long surveys rarely work. Short, well-timed questions do.
Smart Wi‑Fi can support quick surveys like:
- “What was the highlight of your visit?”
- “How was signage and wayfinding today?”
- “Would you recommend us to a friend?”
Why it matters: You get actionable feedback while the visit is happening (or right after), when it’s most accurate.
5) Use traffic counting + journeys to improve flow and experience
Ticketing tells you how many entered. Operations needs more:
- when do we peak?
- where do guests concentrate?
- what changes on event days?
- which areas get skipped?
Smart Wi‑Fi helps you understand traffic patterns and guest journeys so you can improve wayfinding, staffing, and on-property offers.
Why it matters: Small improvements in flow can reduce congestion, improve satisfaction, and lift spend.
6) Upsell add-ons in a helpful way
The best upsells feel like service.
Smart Wi‑Fi can support promotion and follow-up for:
- behind-the-scenes experiences
- encounters and feeding experiences
- photo packages
- retail and concessions promos
- “come back soon” offers
Why it matters: You can increase per-cap revenue while improving the day-of experience.
