Summary • Ads aimed at former subscribers • $50 million in direct ad campaigns • “The Better Guarantee” • AT&T and Verizon gaining subscribers • People slowly turning back to Time Warner • Comcast has recently began the same process
About Time Warner • Second largest cable provider • Lost 140,000 subscribers last quarter • Primarily East Coast • Generally ranked below the industry average along with Comcast • But company’s score ticked up 4% most of any TV provider on the index
Ad Messages • Going at Verizon • Promised monthly savings that have not panned out • Extension of “Enjoy Better” campaign • 30-day money back guarantee • Featuring real subscriber testimonials
Time Warner Improvements • Smartphone apps • More On-Demand options • Internet speeds are 2-3 times faster • Provide home security service • Narrower home service call times
Expected Outcomes • Huge cost for little gains • Not many people will return • Satellite Providers have extremely high customer service ratings • Seems like a lost cause
