How can you reduce data churn and implement proactive strategies to retain your mobile clients?

Data churn is a major challenge in today's ultra-competitive world. With an increasingly demanding client base and smartphones at the heart of their daily lives, operators must adapt to offer user experiences that are smooth, attractive, and, above all, faithful to their users' needs.

A few key figures:

• The average churn rate in the sector is around 67% per year.
• The cost of acquiring new customers is 25 times higher than retaining them.

A proactive approach to reducing data churn can turn a costly problem into an opportunity to build loyalty and maximize customer value.

💡 Here is a practical guide to identify the key levers to activate.

#1 – Identifying the warning signs: when and why does data churn occur?

Before thinking about strategy, it is essential to identify the behaviors that precede churn.

For example, a subscriber who usually consumes many streaming services and drastically reduces his consumption over several days should alert you.

There are several early warning signs of churn

📲 Change in purchasing behavior : a dropin the frequency or amount of purchases may indicate a loss of interest, satisfaction, or attractiveness of your offers.

📉 Under-utilization of data : some customers consume little data or feel a lack of value in their offer.

📈 Overconsumption : customers who frequently exceed their bundle may feel frustrated or misunderstood.

👎 Negative experiences : network slowdowns or technical problems can impact their perception of the quality of your services.

🥷 Holding another SIM card from a competitor: opportunistic customers tend to switch to other operators with more attractive offers.

#2 – Anticipate the signals that announce churn

🔎 The key is data analysis: it will enable you to determine recurring patterns and quickly detect the simple signals heralding churn, such as drops in consumption. 

Investing in 360° customer knowledge is essential for monitoring the use of your services and analyzing customer engagement.

This approach, while important, remains insufficient in the face of the scale of the challenge: your predictions will lack precision, and you'll miss out on the more complex signals.

🚀 To accurately predict and deploy large-scale anti-churn initiatives, you need to choose solutions powered by AI-based predictive analytics, such as Splio's Individuation® platform. They will enable you to go further and implement a proactive approach.

• Identify the most complex and invisible churn signals: based on all your data, the algorithms will identify and combine several hundred variablespreviously hidden , or simply impossible to identify with traditional analyses, to predict churn.
• Automate large-scale prediction: don't waste any more time with analysis, reports, and dashboards: every day, predictive models will automatically and accurately identify at-risk customers.

#3 - Delivering personalized offers for each individual, at the right time: an antidote against churn

How do you react once you've detected the signals?

Personalization must be the watchword. Every message and every offer must meet the individual needs of each client.

• Adapted bundle or offers: propose a new offer adapted (content, validity, price, etc.) to changes in user behavior.

For example: a higher offer for clients who consistently exceed their data limit.

• Flexible offers: introduce additional data options when usage peaks (without long-term commitment) to fill the remaining days of the valid bundle, for example.
• Targeted special offers tailored to each user's fragility, so as not to risk cannibalizing your revenues.

For example, you can offer incentives: promotions or bonuses (for example, a day of unlimited data) to customers at greatest risk.
