Friendly service and a warm welcome are great beginnings to any customer relationship. How you engage them is an important factor in making them feel good and comfortable about your brand, but you want more than them just feeling good about your brand.

If the inquiries on WiFi Hotspot services for restaurants that have been coming in since this announcement are any indication, this new strategy is going to change the whole playing field for Quick Service Restaurants in the USA.

In terms of design, people want a certain level of stickiness to their website. The objective of making a website Sticky can be described as intentionally providing content that grabs hold of the visitors attention when they happen upon your site.
