Strategies to Acquire and Retain High Value Customers
|
Abstract
In an increasingly competitive marketplace operators wish to attract the right
(i.e. the highest value) customers. They need to maximise on their investment
in customers to achieve the highest profitability possible and retain those
customers in the face of increasing competition. The maturing markets of
Europe and elsewhere demand that MNOs and MVNOs move from standardised
products for the mass market to more customised products for more profitable
customers. It is becoming increasingly apparent that the customer that spends
the most per month is not necessarily the one delivering the greatest profit
to the MNO' s bottom line. MNOs therefore face a whole new set of challenges -
how do they identify who is the most valuable and then how do they address
them in order to ensure they are retained (or acquired from other operators)?
This report explores the increasing complexity of identifying and targeting
the optimum customers and provides concrete recommendations to help MNOs face
this challenge.
