    In the current environment telecom operators' marketing strategies will have to adapt to the needs of their customers

    In the current environment telecom operators' marketing strategies will have to adapt to the needs of their customers.

    conference quote

    "Depending of which market segments operators are targeting, they need to realign their marketing priorities in the face of rising churn, declining revenue per subscriber and intense competition in the market place. They need to look at various aspects of brand creation and management, pricing policy, distribution, sales, customer care and loyalty and new product development. "

    This marcus evans conference will provide a forum where telecommunications operators and service providers will discuss their sales, marketing, distribution, product positioning, customer loyalty, branding and pricing strategies and how they will retain a cutting edge in the current competitive telecommunications environment. There is the need for operators and service providers to discuss strategies aimed at brand creation and loyalty, have an innovative pricing policy and train their sales people to effectively sell the product.
