Is There Any Brand Loyalty In Wireless Services?
from the not-if-they-don't-deserve-it dept
A report on an interesting round table discussion about branding and wireless technologies suggests that (especially among young people) there is no loyalty to a brand in the wireless space. While this may upset the marketers at various wireless service providers, it really shouldn't be a surprise. Most of these services have done little to nothing to deserve loyalty. In fact, they've done a lot to push their customers away. While they used to be able to get away with it, there are a lot more choices and consumers (especially young ones) are a lot more informed these days. It's no longer just about building a cool brand, but one that actually deserves loyalty.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
