Digital transformations have redefined customer experiences and expectations, not just in broadcasting but across every industry worldwide. At the same time with the rise of new platforms, consumers now have far more choices in where to spend their entertainment currencies. This has made the service itself an integral part of the customer experience, with the potential to make content more accessible, attractive and engaging.
Currently, broadcasters are looking to create a value, which is to develop a more fragmented market with a mixture of propositions tailored to customers’ needs and their willingness to pay. The use of analytics, driven by the collection of accurate usage, content preference and subscription data, provides an opportunity for broadcasters to truly understand segment dynamics and offer segment-only propositions based on deep insights.
This enables the broadcasters to establish direct-to consumer models and offer low-cost bundles, attracting customers while minimizing the cannibalization of customer’s dissatisfaction. This transformation would be to increase the size of the broadcasting market by attracting consumers who would have never been engaged to traditional broadcast services.
