Providing seamless and immersive customer experiences
It is important to immerse users in the provided content to maximize customer experience value. It is also necessary to ensure that satisfaction does not decline between the time one content experience is complete and the next begins.
Maximizing customer satisfaction requires a seamless customer experience design that allows for transitions between multiple pieces of content, for example, enjoying a meal at a restaurant, and then going shopping or watching a match or show. This creates a connection and breadth to the content and enriches the experience.
The Shift to Direct to Fan (DtoF) Models
Technological advancements allow content holders to create content themselves and to sell it directly to customers. Previously, e-commerce, electronic tickets, filming, streaming, etc. relied on external vendors. It is now possible to handle these tasks internally and deliver content directly to the customer.
Leveraging multi-functional e-commerce platforms and technology from multiple partners makes it possible to increase DtoC sales.
Creating new value through cross-industry partnerships
The strength of sports and entertainment lies in its messaging and ability to connect companies. Collaboration with sports and IPs enables the delivery of information to a wider audience. Many companies are involved in sports and IP sponsorships, where it is possible to form strong partnerships through a single piece of content.
New business and service planning that properly analyzes, coordinates and leverages content holder and corporate assets can turn into the sort of unprecedented value provision unique to the sports and entertainment industry.
ABeam Consulting focuses on the length of time customers interact with content and the number of touchpoints, and draws a value journey to maximize the experience value from the perspectives of business (is it profitable?), technology (can it be done better?), and customers (is it a high experience value?).
