The “approach” to marketing had to change
PA region service areas are low-growth populations, we can’t count on new customers moving in to the region
We were spending way too much time and energy chasing the chronic non pay customer
Marketing in Today’s Competitive Environment
3
CHANGE – we had to change the way we thought about potential customers
We want the “best” customers – those that will pay their bill and not churn
Marketing in Today’s Competitive Environment
4
Qualifying the customer Leave the less desirable customers to the competition Supports good marketing practices and encourages retention The onus is on the customer to remain connected Strict soft and hard disconnect procedures
We aren’t joking!
We base installation fees and deposits based on their credit score
You weed out the least desirable customer You control the amount of services subscribed to keep the
monthly bill reasonable by requiring a credit card on file for all digital equipment
Marketing in Today’s Competitive Environment
5
So now that we limited ourselves to only taking the best customers, we had to grow our revenue “per sub”
How? By introducing new and better products to make customers want to “stick” with us
