These days, most people will choose a place that offers free internet access over those that don't, especially if they're looking for a restaurant or coffee shop. Fortunately for small business owners, the proliferation of Wi-Fi-enabled devices creates an inexpensive way to satisfy customer demand and give yourself a leg up on the competition. Volcano Communications Group, Pine Grove, CA's leading cable and internet provider, would like to explain a few of the benefits of wireless hotspots.

While every business hosting a mobile hotspot will doubtlessly enjoy some benefits, those who depend on customers settling in and spending some extra time stand to gain the most. Coffee shops, restaurants, bars, and other socialization centers can profit when customers hang around and spend more money throughout the course of the day. Offering high-speed, broadband wireless internet access also helps with customer retention—over time, your establishment may become a second home for students and telecommuters looking for a friendly place to work.

Many business owners are tempted to treat internet access as a profit center, charging their customers by the hour or day. However, this strategy generally fails, as long-term users look for cheaper ways to get the connectivity they need and others decide the cost isn't worth jumping online for a couple of minutes. Instead, think of an internet access as an investment in the happiness of your customers and a small price to pay to keep them coming back.

For over a century, Volcano Communications Group has offered the cutting-edge technologies their community relies upon to stay connected, a tradition they're committed to continuing in the 21^st century.
