                                    Introduction

Broadnet S.A. is the first independent network service in Ecuador dedicated in the
development and marketing of digital products and transaction processing. It works
since 2005 and are recognized as pioneers and leaders in the marketing of mobile
payment services. It operates in two offices in the main cities of the country that
are Guayaquil and Quito. Guayaquil is the main office where are managed the
operative, technological, marketing and management areas. It target are all the
different categories of business within Ecuador.

Now a day, it has a network of 8000 places located around the Ecuador. Ponle+
(the brand showed to the public of Broadnet S.A.) is the biggest base of
multiproduct in the product line of Electronic services, Prepaid mobile payment
services and Benefits in Ecuador.

The huge demand of mobile services has raised the number of competitors in the
market, and in order to help Broadnet S.A. to stay in the head, it is proposed to
stablish a loyalty system that allows customers obtain an added value each time
they buy in any of the network members that work with Broadnet S.A., that’s why
the next question is made In what way would affect the implementation of
loyalty cards as a form of loyalty in the customer network of Broadnet S.A.?

This system allows offering a differentiated and attractive service for customers
that help to make them return to the Ponle+ sell points, being sure that they will
obtain more benefits with each consume. Based on the information obtained from
SUPERTEL (Superintendencia de telecomunicaciones) it was registered that the
98.96% from the active mobile lines and the 86.40% the use prepaid technology.
That shows that Broadnet S.A. has a wide market to offer the new service.

                                     Chapter 1


1.1 Theoretical Framework

The development of this work involves the conceptual parameters that are detailed
below:

       Loyalty: Term used, basically, by the business directed to the client, where
       satisfaction is a main responsibility. Even though, this kind of business put
       all their effort in selling their goods and services ignoring customers’
       necessities. (Traduced from Wikipedia Spanish, 2011). Loyalty management
       allows the business to identify the most frequent customers and raise the
       incomes from them, through long-term added value.
       Loyalty objectives:
           o Each customer, within a segment, to consume the maximum with the
              brand (known as share of wallet)
           o Each customer to buy the products of the brand during the maximum
              time of life value
           o Each customer to recommend the product to the maximum quantity
              of new possible customers (Marketing relacional y CRM de David
              Gea, Mario Romero y David Sánchez 2008)
       Loyalty cards: Loyalty cards are a system of the loyalty business
       model.Typically have a barcode or magstripe that can be easily scanned,
       and some are even chip cards (Wikipedia, 2011) and it also helps to know
       the frequency customers uses the products
       Cost-Benefit analysis: “is a relatively simple and widely used technique for
       deciding whether to make a change. As its namesuggests, to use the
       technique simply add up the value of the benefits of a course of action, and
       subtract the costs associated with it” (Mind Tools, 2011).

With these parameters, the objective of this system is to achieve that the Broadnet
S.A. customers network as the final consumers, prefer to purchase in the stores of
Ponle+ network.

It is necessary to consider that the loyalty cards will be and image of the enterprise
for the consumer segment, so it must have a design and name that captures the


                                    Página 5 de 29

attention of all the customers possible, although it need to offer the most quantity of
benefits for both network and consumers.

By the other hand, loyalty cards look for create a sense of belonging into the
company and to create the possibility for them to be members of it.

In order to start from a real base, it will be used the SWOT analysis, which
“consider both internal factors (strengths and weaknesses) and external factors
(opportunities and threats) that are relevant” (Paul Hoang, 2009) in order to get a
clear idea of the necessity of using a loyalty system in the business for long-term
maintaining of the wide customers red and how beneficial can be using the loyalty
cards

With this we can assess the current and future situation of a product, brand,
company, proposal or decision” (Paul Hoang, 2009) so with this consider the
possible future.

I will gather information based on questionnaires, the most common method of
primary research, which is base on a series of questions that are in this case used
to know how efficient would be the launch of the system, and if it is approved.

Because there will be done surveys, in order to know the number of persons that
should be surveyed, it will be used the theory of the Gauss curve that help us to
obtain an adequate quantity to the necessities of the investigation. The following
formula is used:

                                       Formula



    Representing the margin of acceptance that will have the loyalty cards in the
market, in this process as taking 90% to apply the formula based on
the Gauss z tables represent us on 1.64.

   That is the success probability, which is the 50% because it is and estimated
number of people that are going to use the loyalty cards

   That is the fail probability, which is the other 50% that is the rest of people that
won’t use the loyalty cards.


                                     Página 6 de 29

   The error margin estimated, within the population which is the percentage that
won’t be considered, that is the resting 10% of the total market that will be used.

The result of this formula shows us that the number of people that will be surveyed
should be 41 people in order to know proximally how it will affect this loyalty
system implementation.

2.1 Methodology

2.1.1Interview with the General Manager of Broadnet S.A.
After knowing more about Broadnet, it’s market, customers, products and services
if offers actually, I did an interview to the General Manager, Alexandra Herrera, in
order to know about the acceptance of implementing a loyalty system that allows
offer all customers and consumers an added value in the purchase of prepaid
services purchase for the three mobile phones services Claro, Movistar and Alegro
and with it the loyalty to it brand Ponle+ and growths to it sell activities.

About the knowledge of the system of loyalty programs, Mrs. Herrera showed a
completely conviction about the results this programs do in the election of the
consumers that decide to return once and again to the stores that offer the system.
However, she emphasized and pointed that what is important is the development
and execution when there were no competitors the same offer to customers,
because it would stop being attractive to the consumer.

About the implementation of this plan in Broadnet S.A., the answer was yes,
because the manager found different advantages of applying the system in the
business after mentioning that the prepaid recharge is a massive consume in the
Ecuadorian market so, to offer a loyalty system that rewards the customers’
purchases of PONLE+ products in its network, making the positioning of the brand,
the increase of the frequent costumers and with that, raise the sales base.

According to the criteria of the Broadnet representative agent the suitable system
will be a loyalty card with the purpose to accumulate points for each purchase of
prepaid recharges that customers would do in the PONLE+ network, the ones that
can be changed for more recharge and prizes and, additionally, a previous
agreement with the affiliated firms, customers will obtain as discounts and offers
with the purchase of the products owned by the firms of the network, in which were
mentioned Pharmacies as Pharmacy’s, Cruz Azul, service stations as Primax,
Mobil, Terpel; stores as Comandato; and others.

Finally, she highlighted the ease of distributing the card through the same
facilityaffiliated with a major in print media outlets for more advertising in media
such asradio and newspapers.



2.1.2SWOT Analysis

In order to take a decision of using loyalty cards, we should analyze different
factors based on the SWOT of loyalty cards’ use.

S: Is a very common system, easily to handle with it by the enterprise and the
customers, does not have a high cost and help to make decisions because it helps
to know about the behavior of customers with the business.

W: People do not often use the loyalty cards and or do not, sometimes the
discounts are done anyway but because of the people which do not use the cards,
the expense of the discounts are not always covered. Other case is that people
feel their privacy is disturbed so they do not trust in the program.

O: Help not to decrease the customers’ base of the businesses. Customers can
form part of a publicity method by commenting others about the business they are
loyal at and customers also spend more in the products the brand offer.

T: Competition can easily realize the strategy used, so they would apply it also.
People sometimes manipulate them obtaining the maximum of benefits at the
lower of frequency.

So based on the benefits and limitations of the loyalty cards’ system will be easier
to show the effects they would show when used by BROADNET S.A.:

Benefits:

     Help to know the behavior of the customers can help to make decisions where
     implementing new methods or paying more attention of the movement of
     customers.

     The lack of image BROADNET S.A. projects to the general public can
     increase during the use of the program.

                                    Página 9 de 29
Ma. José Jurado          Herramientas de Colaboración Digital




     People after recognizing the benefits BROADNET S.A. provides can tell
     others about the brand and convince them to buy the services that it offers.

Limitations:

     Not very trustable for people byhe service offered and the provider because
     not everybody knows about the brand name BROADNET S.A. or PONLE+

     At the moment when the competitors notice the new activity, they will be
     tempted to use it too, so the publicity that customers would do, would be
     ineffective.



2.2 Surveys results

In order to have the correct idea of the necessities of the market about the usage
of loyalty cards, it was used a survey as a tool to gather information, which in
attached in the Appendix 2

Based on the results obtained in the application of the “Gauss curve theory”, there
were done surveys to 41 (forty one) different people from the different social
classes.

This tool is formed by nine closed questions in order to obtain specific information
of the actual situation. Below will be shown the results:

The first question was: Do you have a cell phone?

In the first question, the whole population answered “Yes” that they have cell
phones with a permanent use.

The second question was referring about the kind of technology the surveyed
people use with their mobile phones system. The 4% answered they use a pay-as-
you-go service, the 10% use contract plan and the 86%use the prepaid service.

The third question referred to the place where users realize their recharges,
obtaining the 44% as purchasers in pharmacies, the 29% purchase in gas stations,
10% in cybers, 5% at stores and shops and the 2% at supermarkets, as showed in
the next chart:

                  20%                                    10%

                  10%
                  0%




The fourth question focused in the knowledge people have about the brand
“PONLE+”, obtaining a result of 24% that have heard about the brand and the 76%
do not know anything about it, so it would be a weakness in which it would be
important to work, the image of the brand to be known.

points of sale, with proximately 45000 customers each one and with an average of
sales of $1.111. This tells us that at the end of each month the incomes are
$5.000.000, 00, with 8% of raw profits equally to $400.00, 00. Costs are directly
linked to the incomes with an equivalence of 90%.

With the propose done, it’s project to accomplish a minimum growth in the number
of points of sale and customers equal to 5%, but it pretend increase substantially
the sales average of each point, reaching to $1.500, 00, that represents an
increase in the incomes to 44%, so it must reach to $7’200.000,00 monthly.

A foreseen raw profits percentage from 8% to 10%

cheap in comparison to the implementation realized with the other enterprise with
the same target.

The biggest segment is the investment in publicity to make know the brand in a
massive way with the methodology that will be used and the benefits of the loyalty
system.

In the other hand, another important segment is the acquisition, just once, of the
necessary hardware for the running of the system.

The investment that will be realized with this loyalty system represents a 3% of the
monthly profit margin, is justified with the increase of inputs.

It is estimated that in six months the objectives proposed will be accomplished in
the projections done in Table N°1.

  1.1.1 Entrevista para el gerente de Broadnet S.A.

          ¿Cuáles considera usted que son las fortalezas de su empresa y
          sus ventajas competitivas en el mercado de recargas electrónicas?

  Broadnet S.A. ha sido una empresa pionera en la venta de recargas
  electrónicas desde los inicios en el año 2005 convirtiéndose en una de sus
  fortalezas más importantes el conocimiento del mercado y todo el aprendizaje
  obtenido desde ese entonces para la comercialización de las recargas
  electrónicas. El grupo humano que trabaja en esta empresa y su cobertura
  nacional, es otro pilar fundamental para que Broadnet se haya mantenido con
  crecimientos importantes año a año captando nuevos clientes.                  Su
  infraestructura tecnológica y capital de inversión y de trabajo ha permitido que
  Broadnet se posicione en el mercado ofreciendo una variedad de medios de
  comercialización de acuerdo a las necesidades de cada cliente, por otro lado, el
  poder ofrecer productos y servicios adicionales a las recargas, las promociones
  propias a su red de clientes y consumidores y finalmente el lanzamiento de su
  marca PONLE MÁS con publicidad impresa y en radios, constituyen hasta hoy
  una de sus principales ventajas competitivas en el mercado.

          ¿Considerando el amplio mercado de compradores de recargas
          electrónicas, cuáles son los planes de Broadnet para hacer crecer
          sus ventas en los próximos años?

  Efectivamente, Broadnet identifica como una oportunidad para captar nuevos
  clientes y poder incrementar notablemente su facturación anual, el incorporar
  nuevos productos y servicios como el pago de servicios básicos (agua, luz y
  teléfono) a su portafolio. Adicionalmente, reforzar el posicionamiento de su
  marca PONLE MÁS para que sea identificada en el mercado como la red de
  productos y servicios electrónicos más grande del país y así lograr la
  preferencia de los consumidores a nuestros establecimientos afiliados.

          ¿De acuerdo a su experiencia     y conocimiento del mercado
          ecuatoriano, qué opinión tiene usted acerca de los sistemas de
          fidelización?

Los sistemas de fidelización bien implementados, y siempre y cuando sean
únicos en su categoría, constituyen una fuerte herramienta de marketing y
ventas que le permite a la empresa indudablemente crecer en sus ventas y
además, desarrollar una rica base de clientes consumidores y que al tiempo de
conocer las necesidades de ellos, les otorga valor agregado a los clientes-
consumidores premiando la lealtad en sus compras a través de premios,
descuentos, sorteos, etc. E incentivando a repetir la compra de los productos
en un mismo establecimiento.

      ¿Y en ese mismo sentido, para lograr la preferencia de los
      consumidores a los establecimientos de su empresa, consideraría
      usted la implementación de este sistema para Broadnet?

Por supuesto que sí, la implementación de un sistema de fidelización para
Broadnet sería de enorme beneficio para la empresa, más aún, en los actuales
momentos, ninguno de nuestros competidores directos lo ofrece.

Por otro lado, la recarga de minutos para celular en el segmento PREPAGO,
es un producto de consumo masivo, lo que nos favorece y permite garantizar
un alto éxito en el enganche de los consumidores al sistema, tomando en
cuenta que el universo al que se apunta alcanza más de 10 millones de líneas
de prepago y no menos de 8 millones de abonados y se comercializa a través
de diferentes categorías de clientes que van desde grandes cadenas
nacionales como Pharmacy´s, TIA, Comandato, Primax, etc hasta pequeñas
tiendas, como farmacias, abarrotes, papelerías, cybers, líderes de barrio en
todo el país.

      ¿De los diversos sistemas de fidelización, cuál consideraría
      Broadnet implementar para lograr el éxito en la estrategia?

AL contar con la ventaja de que Broadnet tiene a través de su red de más de
8.000 establecimientos afiliados llegada a todo el target de consumidores de
minutos prepago celular, el sistema idóneo a implementarse sería una tarjeta
de lealtad con acumulación de puntos por cada compra de recargas de minutos
para redimir más minutos y premios en combinación con los descuentos y
ofertas directas ofrecidas por las compras de los productos que ofrecen cada
uno de los establecimientos afiliados a la red.

Ma. José Jurado          Herramientas de Colaboración Digital




          ¿Qué objetivos esperaría Broadnet alcanzar para implementar el
          sistema de fidelización de puntos?

   Broadnet tendría como objetivos principales el reforzar el posicionamiento de
   su MARCA PONLE MAS como la mejor y más grande red de servicios que
   ofrece no solo la comercialización de los productos y servicios sino que
   además premia esta elección de compra y recompra de los mismos
   incrementando la confianza que ellos depositan en la MARCA y
   establecimiento escogido para efectuar su transacción y como segundo
   objetivo, el incremento de las ventas a través del incremento de la frecuencia
   de las compras de sus actuales clientes y también atrayendo nuevos clientes a
   sus locales que perciban un mejor servicio en la compra de los productos a
   través de todos los valores agregados que ofrezca la tarjeta de fidelización.

          ¿Cuál sería el plan de difusión, soporte y medios?

    Siendo el medio, una tarjeta plástica magnética con descarga electrónica que
    incluya un folleto con las equivalencias para la redención de minutos y premios
    por los puntos acumulados, la cual sería distribuida a través de la misma red
    de establecimientos afiliados a Ponle Más, tendría como soporte adicional
    material POP alusivo a la tarjeta, difusión complementaria en medios como
    radio y prensa que promocione el sistema y uso de la tarjeta en nuestra Red.

  • 4. Herramientas de Colaboración Digital Ma. José Jurado Introduction Broadnet S.A. is the first independent network service in Ecuador dedicated in the development and marketing of digital products and transaction processing. It works since 2005 and are recognized as pioneers and leaders in the marketing of mobile payment services. It operates in two offices in the main cities of the country that are Guayaquil and Quito. Guayaquil is the main office where are managed the operative, technological, marketing and management areas. It target are all the different categories of business within Ecuador. Now a day, it has a network of 8000 places located around the Ecuador. Ponle+ (the brand showed to the public of Broadnet S.A.) is the biggest base of multiproduct in the product line of Electronic services, Prepaid mobile payment services and Benefits in Ecuador. The huge demand of mobile services has raised the number of competitors in the market, and in order to help Broadnet S.A. to stay in the head, it is proposed to stablish a loyalty system that allows customers obtain an added value each time they buy in any of the network members that work with Broadnet S.A., that’s why the next question is made In what way would affect the implementation of loyalty cards as a form of loyalty in the customer network of Broadnet S.A.? This system allows offering a differentiated and attractive service for customers that help to make them return to the Ponle+ sell points, being sure that they will obtain more benefits with each consume. Based on the information obtained from SUPERTEL (Superintendencia de telecomunicaciones) it was registered that the 98.96% from the active mobile lines and the 86.40% the use prepaid technology. That shows that Broadnet S.A. has a wide market to offer the new service. Página 3 de 29

The questions and answers gave are attached in the Appendix 1. Then will be done a survey to the general public, who are the consumers, about the utilization of the service and the necessity of a loyalty system. The questions used in the survey are attached in the Appendix 2. It will be used the SWOT analysis that shows the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of using this system in the enterprise and specifically the system of loyalty cards and the customers’ preferred added value. This work consist about 3 chapters.

  • 6. Herramientas de Colaboración Digital Ma. José Jurado Chapter 1 1.1 Theoretical Framework The development of this work involves the conceptual parameters that are detailed below: Loyalty: Term used, basically, by the business directed to the client, where satisfaction is a main responsibility. Even though, this kind of business put all their effort in selling their goods and services ignoring customers’ necessities. (Traduced from Wikipedia Spanish, 2011). Loyalty management allows the business to identify the most frequent customers and raise the incomes from them, through long-term added value. Loyalty objectives: o Each customer, within a segment, to consume the maximum with the brand (known as share of wallet) o Each customer to buy the products of the brand during the maximum time of life value o Each customer to recommend the product to the maximum quantity of new possible customers (Marketing relacional y CRM de David Gea, Mario Romero y David Sánchez 2008) Loyalty cards: Loyalty cards are a system of the loyalty business model.Typically have a barcode or magstripe that can be easily scanned, and some are even chip cards (Wikipedia, 2011) and it also helps to know the frequency customers uses the products Cost-Benefit analysis: “is a relatively simple and widely used technique for deciding whether to make a change. As its namesuggests, to use the technique simply add up the value of the benefits of a course of action, and subtract the costs associated with it” (Mind Tools, 2011). With these parameters, the objective of this system is to achieve that the Broadnet S.A. customers network as the final consumers, prefer to purchase in the stores of Ponle+ network. It is necessary to consider that the loyalty cards will be and image of the enterprise for the consumer segment, so it must have a design and name that captures the Página 5 de 29
  • 7. Ma. José Jurado Herramientas de Colaboración Digital attention of all the customers possible, although it need to offer the most quantity of benefits for both network and consumers. By the other hand, loyalty cards look for create a sense of belonging into the company and to create the possibility for them to be members of it. In order to start from a real base, it will be used the SWOT analysis, which “consider both internal factors (strengths and weaknesses) and external factors (opportunities and threats) that are relevant” (Paul Hoang, 2009) in order to get a clear idea of the necessity of using a loyalty system in the business for long-term maintaining of the wide customers red and how beneficial can be using the loyalty cards With this we can assess the current and future situation of a product, brand, company, proposal or decision” (Paul Hoang, 2009) so with this consider the possible future. I will gather information based on questionnaires, the most common method of primary research, which is base on a series of questions that are in this case used to know how efficient would be the launch of the system, and if it is approved. Because there will be done surveys, in order to know the number of persons that should be surveyed, it will be used the theory of the Gauss curve that help us to obtain an adequate quantity to the necessities of the investigation. The following formula is used: Formula Representing the margin of acceptance that will have the loyalty cards in the market, in this process as taking 90% to apply the formula based on the Gauss z tables represent us on 1.64. That is the success probability, which is the 50% because it is and estimated number of people that are going to use the loyalty cards That is the fail probability, which is the other 50% that is the rest of people that won’t use the loyalty cards. Página 6 de 29
  • 8. Herramientas de Colaboración Digital Ma. José Jurado The error margin estimated, within the population which is the percentage that won’t be considered, that is the resting 10% of the total market that will be used. The result of this formula shows us that the number of people that will be surveyed should be 41 people in order to know proximally how it will affect this loyalty system implementation.

  • 9. Ma. José Jurado Herramientas de Colaboración Digital Chapter 2 2.1 Methodology 2.1.1Interview with the General Manager of Broadnet S.A. After knowing more about Broadnet, it’s market, customers, products and services if offers actually, I did an interview to the General Manager, Alexandra Herrera, in order to know about the acceptance of implementing a loyalty system that allows offer all customers and consumers an added value in the purchase of prepaid services purchase for the three mobile phones services Claro, Movistar and Alegro and with it the loyalty to it brand Ponle+ and growths to it sell activities. About the knowledge of the system of loyalty programs, Mrs. Herrera showed a completely conviction about the results this programs do in the election of the consumers that decide to return once and again to the stores that offer the system. However, she emphasized and pointed that what is important is the development and execution when there were no competitors the same offer to customers, because it would stop being attractive to the consumer. About the implementation of this plan in Broadnet S.A., the answer was yes, because the manager found different advantages of applying the system in the business after mentioning that the prepaid recharge is a massive consume in the Ecuadorian market so, to offer a loyalty system that rewards the customers’ purchases of PONLE+ products in its network, making the positioning of the brand, the increase of the frequent costumers and with that, raise the sales base. According to the criteria of the Broadnet representative agent the suitable system will be a loyalty card with the purpose to accumulate points for each purchase of prepaid recharges that customers would do in the PONLE+ network, the ones that can be changed for more recharge and prizes and, additionally, a previous agreement with the affiliated firms, customers will obtain as discounts and offers with the purchase of the products owned by the firms of the network, in which were mentioned Pharmacies as Pharmacy’s, Cruz Azul, service stations as Primax, Mobil, Terpel; stores as Comandato; and others.

  • 10. Herramientas de Colaboración Digital Ma. José Jurado Finally, she highlighted the ease of distributing the card through the same facilityaffiliated with a major in print media outlets for more advertising in media such asradio and newspapers. 2.1.2SWOT Analysis In order to take a decision of using loyalty cards, we should analyze different factors based on the SWOT of loyalty cards’ use. S: Is a very common system, easily to handle with it by the enterprise and the customers, does not have a high cost and help to make decisions because it helps to know about the behavior of customers with the business. W: People do not often use the loyalty cards and or do not, sometimes the discounts are done anyway but because of the people which do not use the cards, the expense of the discounts are not always covered. Other case is that people feel their privacy is disturbed so they do not trust in the program. O: Help not to decrease the customers’ base of the businesses. Customers can form part of a publicity method by commenting others about the business they are loyal at and customers also spend more in the products the brand offer. T: Competition can easily realize the strategy used, so they would apply it also. People sometimes manipulate them obtaining the maximum of benefits at the lower of frequency. So based on the benefits and limitations of the loyalty cards’ system will be easier to show the effects they would show when used by BROADNET S.A.: Benefits: Help to know the behavior of the customers can help to make decisions where implementing new methods or paying more attention of the movement of customers. The lack of image BROADNET S.A. projects to the general public can increase during the use of the program. Página 9 de 29
  • 11. Ma. José Jurado Herramientas de Colaboración Digital People after recognizing the benefits BROADNET S.A. provides can tell others about the brand and convince them to buy the services that it offers. Limitations: Not very trustable for people byhe service offered and the provider because not everybody knows about the brand name BROADNET S.A. or PONLE+ At the moment when the competitors notice the new activity, they will be tempted to use it too, so the publicity that customers would do, would be ineffective. 2.2 Surveys results In order to have the correct idea of the necessities of the market about the usage of loyalty cards, it was used a survey as a tool to gather information, which in attached in the Appendix 2 Based on the results obtained in the application of the “Gauss curve theory”, there were done surveys to 41 (forty one) different people from the different social classes. This tool is formed by nine closed questions in order to obtain specific information of the actual situation. Below will be shown the results: The first question was: Do you have a cell phone? In the first question, the whole population answered “Yes” that they have cell phones with a permanent use. The second question was referring about the kind of technology the surveyed people use with their mobile phones system. The 4% answered they use a pay-as- you-go service, the 10% use contract plan and the 86%use the prepaid service. Página 10 de 29

Broadnet S.A. ha sido una empresa pionera en la venta de recargas electrónicas desde los inicios en el año 2005 convirtiéndose en una de sus fortalezas más importantes el conocimiento del mercado y todo el aprendizaje obtenido desde ese entonces para la comercialización de las recargas electrónicas. El grupo humano que trabaja en esta empresa y su cobertura nacional, es otro pilar fundamental para que Broadnet se haya mantenido con crecimientos importantes año a año captando nuevos clientes. Su infraestructura tecnológica y capital de inversión y de trabajo ha permitido que Broadnet se posicione en el mercado ofreciendo una variedad de medios de comercialización de acuerdo a las necesidades de cada cliente, por otro lado, el poder ofrecer productos y servicios adicionales a las recargas, las promociones propias a su red de clientes y consumidores y finalmente el lanzamiento de su marca PONLE MÁS con publicidad impresa y en radios, constituyen hasta hoy una de sus principales ventajas competitivas en el mercado. ¿Considerando el amplio mercado de compradores de recargas electrónicas, cuáles son los planes de Broadnet para hacer crecer sus ventas en los próximos años? Efectivamente, Broadnet identifica como una oportunidad para captar nuevos clientes y poder incrementar notablemente su facturación anual, el incorporar nuevos productos y servicios como el pago de servicios básicos (agua, luz y teléfono) a su portafolio. Adicionalmente, reforzar el posicionamiento de su marca PONLE MÁS para que sea identificada en el mercado como la red de productos y servicios electrónicos más grande del país y así lograr la preferencia de los consumidores a nuestros establecimientos afiliados. ¿De acuerdo a su experiencia y conocimiento del mercado ecuatoriano, qué opinión tiene usted acerca de los sistemas de fidelización? Página 22 de 29
  • 24. Herramientas de Colaboración Digital Ma. José Jurado Los sistemas de fidelización bien implementados, y siempre y cuando sean únicos en su categoría, constituyen una fuerte herramienta de marketing y ventas que le permite a la empresa indudablemente crecer en sus ventas y además, desarrollar una rica base de clientes consumidores y que al tiempo de conocer las necesidades de ellos, les otorga valor agregado a los clientes- consumidores premiando la lealtad en sus compras a través de premios, descuentos, sorteos, etc. E incentivando a repetir la compra de los productos en un mismo establecimiento. ¿Y en ese mismo sentido, para lograr la preferencia de los consumidores a los establecimientos de su empresa, consideraría usted la implementación de este sistema para Broadnet? Por supuesto que sí, la implementación de un sistema de fidelización para Broadnet sería de enorme beneficio para la empresa, más aún, en los actuales momentos, ninguno de nuestros competidores directos lo ofrece. Por otro lado, la recarga de minutos para celular en el segmento PREPAGO, es un producto de consumo masivo, lo que nos favorece y permite garantizar un alto éxito en el enganche de los consumidores al sistema, tomando en cuenta que el universo al que se apunta alcanza más de 10 millones de líneas de prepago y no menos de 8 millones de abonados y se comercializa a través de diferentes categorías de clientes que van desde grandes cadenas nacionales como Pharmacy´s, TIA, Comandato, Primax, etc hasta pequeñas tiendas, como farmacias, abarrotes, papelerías, cybers, líderes de barrio en todo el país. ¿De los diversos sistemas de fidelización, cuál consideraría Broadnet implementar para lograr el éxito en la estrategia? AL contar con la ventaja de que Broadnet tiene a través de su red de más de 8.000 establecimientos afiliados llegada a todo el target de consumidores de minutos prepago celular, el sistema idóneo a implementarse sería una tarjeta de lealtad con acumulación de puntos por cada compra de recargas de minutos para redimir más minutos y premios en combinación con los descuentos y ofertas directas ofrecidas por las compras de los productos que ofrecen cada uno de los establecimientos afiliados a la red.
