O2 Germany: 'Genion' - Acquiring High Value Customers & Retaining Them

August 2004 (16 pages)
O2 Germany (formely Viag Interkom) was the last operator to enter the German mobile market in October 1998. From the outset the company recognised the need to differentiate its service offer from that of the incumbent operators (T-Mobile, Vodafone and E-Plus). This was essential if it was to achieve its key objectives of gaining an 8% market share of the total German telecom market by 2006, and a 25% share of new mobile connections on yearly basis from 2000 onwards.

With Genion, O2 aimed to achieve differentiation, attract and retain high-value customers and attain early profitability. Five years from launch the O2 Genion service concept remains unique in the German market and unchallenged by competitors. For O2, Genion represents its core offer and a major driver for subscriber and revenue growth.

In this report, we profile and analyse:

  • The implementation of the Genion service
  • Key tariff elements
  • Positioning and promotion amongst consumer and business, prepaid and postpaid customers
  • Drivers and barriers to uptake
  • How Genion customers amounted to as much as 73% of O2's contract base (42.5% of their total customer base) by the end of June 2004
  • The unique nature of the Genion proposition in the German market, and its positive effect on customer loyalty

Price: EUR 2,500.00 / GBP 2,000.00
