Verizon FIOSIt’s the kind of relationship you
want to be in

Roadmap for today’s
presentation
• Market analysis
• Marketing objective & target audience
• Big Idea
• The path to woo (and media and creative to support)
Is telecommunications a product or a service?
What industry providers say ….
PRODUCT
XFINITY is instant entertainment and connection – anywhere, anytime, on any screen.
XFINITY Internet: Stream the fastest Internet. The future of awesome.
Time Warner: Come home to a world of entertainment waiting for you. From your TV to your tablet, you can enjoy what you want, like never before.
RCN: When you come home to RCN, you’re connecting to a competitive digital entertainment provider that is committed to bringing customers the best quality digital cable TV, high-speed internet, and phone bundles.
But product features fall to deaf ears
They are hard to deal with.“Cable companies are about as fun to deal with as your parents’ divorce.”
They lie. “They never honored the original quoted price, promised by several people.”
They don’t listen.“They had a total of 9 service calls to my house, 51 emails, 3 faxes, a certified letter, and 31 tweets. No discounts.”
They are all like this. “I guess I should just be happy I have TV service though because it’s Comcast.”
They are not reliable.“Comcast missed three appointments and didn’t even bother to show up until someone from executive customer service dispatched three techs directly to my house.”
They make me wait. “We waited for a cable guy for seven weeks. I don’t think we’d go back to Cox.”
Leaving us, a disjointed reality and unrealized potential

TV and digital strategy to communicate ‘break up’Position FIOS benefits against what generally
characterizes ‘bad relationships’
Our display ads and commercials feature four benefits:
(1) Customer service
(2) Entertainment
(3) Speed (fiber-optics)
(4) Benefits as a ‘package’
“Just ain’t workin out” byMayer Hawthorne
Don´t want you to be sad girlDon´t want you to be afraidI know that will you understand my waysOne day! (oooh)No need to be upset girlPlease don´t scream and shoutI know that you were hearing wedding bellsBut I´m sorryCause it just ain´t working out
Mayer Hawthorne, Musician
Benefit #1: Reliable and responsive customer service
I feel like you’re not listening to me.
Why is it so hard for you to answer the phone when I call?
You’re testing my patience.
The benefit of being in an exclusive relationship is that you don’t have to compete for attention.
The customer service reps at Verizon FIOS want to get to know YOU.
You deserve better.
Verizon FIOS: It’s the kind of relationship you want to be in.
Benefit #2: Entertainment
We never try anything new anymore.
Verizon FIOS offers up to 130 HDTV channels, 530 all-digital channels, 36 commercial-free music stations, and more than
30,000 On Demand titles per month.
Get out of the rut.
Verizon FIOS: It’s the kind of relationship you want to be in.
Benefit #3: Fast and reliable speed
I hate not being able to depend on you.
Long distance sucks. I feel like I spend more time waiting for my computer to buffer than speaking to you.
Verizon FIOS’ fiber-optic speed is the fastest and most reliable in the nation. So you don’t have to
wait to be with the people & things you love.
Isn’t it time you found someone who meets your needs?
Verizon FIOS: It’s the kind of relationship you want to be in.
Benefit #4: All-around better relationship
The problem with our relationship is, we’re in one.
You’re just not meeting my needs.
Verizon FIOS provides the speed, customer service, and entertainment that’d make anyone re-evaluate.
What are you waiting for?
Verizon FIOS: It’s the kind of relationship you want to be in.

….So you don’t have to resort to a word search puzzle on a Saturday night.
Entertainment IS the kind of relationship you want to be in, and Verizon FIOS has got it all to offer.
Print Ad #3: Speed
Relationships are tough when you’re looking at screens like these, and saying things like –
“Hey, can you repeat that?”
“Sorry, hold on, computer’s still loading.”
“You keep breaking up.”
Talk about the things you love with the people who matter.
Verizon FIOS’ fiber-optic cable provides the fastest and most reliable speed in the nation so you don’t have to BREAK UP on account of your Internet connection.

These days, it can be hard to find long-lasting love.
Britney Spears and Jason Alexander were married for 48 hours. Terrell Owens signed a contract to play for the Seahawks on August 6; on August 26, the Seahawks released him. Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries were married for 73 days. Dennis Rodman and Carmen Electra were married for 9 days.

We hope this is the beginning of something great. You can visit www.verizonFIOS/mykindofrelationship to learn more about our offerings.
Best,The FIOS team
A piece of heart-shaped mail from a national cable/internet/phone provider? We admit – it’s a rare – extremely rare and seemingly unfit – occasion.
But it’s because we are doing something totally new at Verizon FIOS. In a world of short-lived and tumultuous personal relationships, we have taken a renewed focus on what comprises good relationships so that we can deliver the BEST kind of relationship to our customers.
Responsiveness. Reliability. Entertainment. Fiber-optic speed. Just a few traits that make FIOS the kind of relationship you want to be in. To demonstrate our commitment in creating an environment that provides the best kind of relationship, last week we sponsored a speed dating event with Patti Granger, host of Millionaire Matchmaker. We have included some additional information on the kind of relationship Verizon FIOS is offering to its customers. To demonstrate our commitment to you, we want to offer you the opportunity to have installation fees waived should you sign on within the next month.
