Promotional Offers Can Lure Back Cord-Cutters

April 16, 2013

According to research company Parks Associates, nearly half (44%) of those who initially cut their cords in favor of over-the-top (OTT) services, and then re-subscribed within the past 18 months (about 7% of the pay-TV households), did so because of a promotion offering a discount or better deal than they had before.

“One-half of those who responded said they came back, and they did so because of a promotion or offer,” said John Barrett, director of research at Parks Associates, in a webcast on the findings -- noting that many people who cut the cord did so because of economic factors. “We’re advocating to [pay-TV providers that they] continue to rely on traditional subscriber acquisition tactics.”
