How does Comarch Loyalty
Management respond to the
current needs of telecom
operators?


The objectives you will achieve with customer
loyalty
66% of consumers have changed telco providers over the past year, due to
what they regard as poor customer service
Accenture Global Consumer Research 2011

It is about reaching the right goals…

1. How can we generate customer loyalty in a highly volatile and competitive market?
2. How can we keep customers satisfied to increase customer service experience?
3. Which products and services does price perception matter most to our Clients?

4. What are the right products and services to offer my Clients to increase ARPU?

In terms of loyalty marketing, a telco provider must act on three different levels:
1. Focus on keeping current customers loyalty
2. Increase usage of loyal customers through more value added services
3. Gain new users
