Customer Satisfaction and Loyalty in Wireless Communications

US Consumer Surveys - 30/09/2009 Customer Satisfaction and Loyalty in Wireless Communications

To gain key insights into the actual and prospective behavior of consumers of wireless services, Centris has developed an ongoing, flexible, and wide-ranging survey that is supported by many levels of qualitative and quantitative analysis. With its pioneering focus on individual consumers of communications services, the design of the Centris wireless survey is both innovative and strategic. This micro-level and comprehensive survey tracks and evaluates the decisions and preferences of households and individuals, offering the best opportunity to understand the all-important demand side of a rapidly developing - and converging - communications marketplace. Most importantly, this survey offers information on the entire wireless platform, (i.e., all forms of communication made possible by wireless devices or technologies), not just the use of cell phones for voice and a limited number of other communication services.

  • Satisfaction with cell phone characteristics, by make and type of cell phone
  • Models that explain satisfaction on levels in terms of cell phone and consumer (demographic) characteristics

Switching Behavior
  • Why do consumers switch service providers for their wireline phone, Internet access, TV, and wireless needs?
  • To whom do they switch?
  • Do they drop certain services for others?
  • Do they prefer a single source for all their services?
  • What makes them change their cell phones?

Contractual Arrangements

Interest in Next-Generation Wireless Services
  • Social Networking
  • Real-time traffic
• Conducted for a representative nationwide panel of households (and individuals within households).

• Designed to be longitudinal, i.e., to follow the same households (and individuals within households) over time (every quarter).

• Records wide-ranging access and usage data (including service provider, service plan, and cell phone handset information), both actual and prospective.

• Records individual-specific demographics, key location information (census block group, designated market area, state and region of residency, etc.).

This design enables the survey to track and project:
• Consumer behavior at the lowest possible level, i.e., the individual consumer of wireless services;

• Subscription, usage, satisfaction, switching, service selection, etc. over time and within local or wider market geographies; and

• Interactions across and substitutions within wireless and wireline access technologies for voice and non-voice communication services, Internet access, and television viewing.
Besides providing valuable business information and insights, the Centris wireless survey offers many unique benefits.
