Telecommunications

As an industry in transition, where the technology changes almost daily, the ability to attract and retain customers is critical to survival.  Gauging what customers want and are willing to pay for becomes the focus of most marketing research in this area.  Now that utilities and local governments have the ability to provide competitive offerings for broadband services, and local and long-distance carriers are one in the same again, the range of potential competitors has expanded greatly.

Customer Satisfaction
The key measures of customer satisfaction is the customer's willingness to continue to pay monthly service fees and recommend the service to others.  In CTI customer studies, we strive to measure ways to improve the customer experience.  At every point of customer contact we have attributes of satisfaction to measure and compare, including service reliability, features, responsiveness and quality of support staff and services, quality of devices, accommodating special requests, and perceived value.

Using telephone interviews, focus groups and CTI methods, we collect the information and analyze the findings to suggest ways to improve the likelihood that customers will renew agreements, adopt new products or services, and maintain their vendor relationships.

Market Studies
New product introductions or new service features have a limited window of opportunity before competitive products appear.  The ability to gauge the market and grab market share is often the single most important activity to ensure a successful launch.

With conjoint analysis we help clients determine which services are likely to have the greatest attraction with selected customer subsets or the population in general.  In ethnographic groups, we help determine which items are likely to have the greatest following, and at what price they can be offered and not cannibalize the sales of primary items or basic services.
