According to a “Hotel & Accommodation Bookings” survey conducted by Statista, 80% of respondents value WiFi more than any other service a hotel provides. That should come as no surprise with business travelers who bring their laptops and leisure travelers who bring their streaming devices. 

In addition, a survey by Roomzzz shows that 65% of hotel guests logged into WiFi within seven minutes of checking in, which reinforces just how valuable WiFi is to travelers. 

Facebook WiFi allows you to tap into this demand to drive traffic to your Facebook page, increase engagement and gain valuable insights to use for future marketing efforts. It works by connecting to your existing WiFi and prompting people to check into your Facebook page to access the internet.

Super Bowl ads 2022: staff opinions

BRIAN:

I’m sure advertisers must have a measure of disappointment when they watch their ad during the Super Bowl … and then see multiple ones just like it. This year, we had numerous electric vehicle commercials, and they were so similar to each other in terms of messaging that I’m certain I can’t name any differences among them. My favorite commercial was Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen reminiscing over a bag of Lay’s. It’s the exact type of humor (e.g., marrying the ghost) I would have used if I wrote the spot myself. A commercial that let me down was the one for Bud Light Seltzer with Guy Fieri. I thought it was a clever concept with the Mayor of Flavor Town, but the execution was terrible—there could have been so much more done in the spot.
