The Horse Inn Background
Customer Success Story

The Horse Inn. Hurstpierpoint, West Sussex

Discover how a charming 16th-century pub embraced technology to build an active database of over 1,500 contacts and enhance its online presence.

Venue Growth

Simplifying tech for a historic venue.

The day-to-day running of a pub can be stressful. The Horse knew they needed to embrace technology to build a customer database, but they were unsure how to get started or what systems to use.

About The Venue

A 16th-Century Countryside Stay

Located in the charming village of Hurstpierpoint, West Sussex, The Horse Inn is a 16th-century pub offering a wide variety of highly-rated food with specialist menus.

Featuring 4 en-suite guest rooms, it is a spectacular countryside venue perfect for gatherings, meetings, weddings, or just enjoying a great value meal.

The Challenge

No Database & Lacking Support

To keep up with local competition, the venue needed modern solutions but faced immediate roadblocks:

  • No Database: Zero contacts on file to leverage for direct marketing.
  • No Wi-Fi Capture: Existing Wi-Fi was heavily password-protected, gathering no customer information.
  • Tech Hurdles: The team lacked the support to confidently deploy new digital initiatives.
The Solution

A Complete Marketing Suite

The team selected Kyco's full marketing suite to unify their data collection and build an eco-friendly rewards system.

Kyco implemented Wi-Fi Boosting & Data Capture alongside Dynamic QR/NFC Tiles, trading fast internet access for valuable guest profiles.

Beyond digital loyalty cards and email marketing, Kyco also built a brand new website complete with professional photography to showcase the historic venue in all its glory.

Bar

Kyco is a no brainer, I couldn't recommend speaking with them enough for your own bar/restaurant. It was daunting at first having new technology, but with the support of the team we were put at ease. If our customers are happy, we are of course happy.

Without question I would recommend Kyco to any other local business. We couldn't have done half the stuff we have been able to do without the team at Kyco supporting us. We're really excited to continue our partnership!
