I have friends who opened a sweet (& popular) little café close to my house last year. I adore this place…great food, coffee, pastries…serving breakfast/lunch/dinner. It’s an all-around hot spot for meeting people and relaxing. Only one draw back–no WiFi.

Yes, I know. No WiFi in a cafe these days is rough. I personally have been cursing this since they opened. I want to take clients there. I want to get out of the house. I want to stuff my face with fresh pastries and spill crumbs onto my MacBook keyboard.

So I sent a note to my friend, I called her, I even wrangled her attention when I stopped in–Get me WiFi, I pleaded~! But being such a new restaurant, they just can’t swing it yet.

Then I had my idea: my company would sponsor WiFi for them~! Win/Win, folks~! So we worked out a deal of equal reciprocity and are now scooting all of the little ducks into their rows. By this time next week their new WiFi will be up and running.

I’m ecstatic. They’re ecstatic. I thing the pastries are even happy.

eCHI Marketing to sponsor WiFi at your favorite local eatery, The Lovin’ Oven~!
