The Covid-19 pandemic was a driving force for businesses to innovate and pivot strategies. Telco and other service providers have long been viewed as utility companies by today’s consumers – customers might not necessarily love their service providers, but they do love the things they make possible. At the start of the global quarantine, service providers around the world were under immense pressure to deliver their services effectively to consumers.
Service providers are now in the spotlight, and the silent customers who didn’t care who their provider was, now became their most important customers almost overnight. How can Telco and CSPs find these customers before it’s too late? One new innovative approach is for Telcos to protect and enhance their customer relationships by leveraging their data goldmine – Network data. The answer to the personalization-privacy paradox. But this is a challenge in itself because Network data is:

They’ll want to know that you care for them, so it would mean a lot more if you gave a discount together with the bill – to ease financial stress.

If attention is the new currency, there simply isn’t enough of it to go around. Click-through rates are in the gutter, adblock use is growing, free reach on social isn’t free anymore, and organic search traffic is declining.
Telcos are at an inflection point. For years, they’ve faced mounting pressure from better-funded, more innovative tech competitors, and seen a return on investment, profits and market share slowly dwindle.
The telecoms industry holds some of the most extensive and detailed customer data of any sector. One major advantage for these firms is that the data they possess comes directly from their customers.
Improving return on investment should be a top priority for communication service providers (CSPs) in their marketing campaigns. Yet in many cases, even though these companies have a wealth of information available about their customers, they aren’t using this effectively to deliver better, more personalized messaging. As a result, many campaigns are too generic or […]
