Foxtel has the traditional pay TV service, the subscribers need a set-
top box, this installation has a fee. Foxtel has it is own internet
streaming service (Foxtel Now), the subscribers can access all same
content, but over the internet, and can be used by phone, laptop or TV.
Both Foxtel and Foxtel Now divide channels into "packs" which are purchased on a per-month
basis. Neither service allows to the subscribers buy the Sports pack on its own, though. It will
need to combine it with either Foxtel's base "Entertainment" pack for $26 per month or any of
Foxtel Now's starter packs which cost $10-$15 per month
• $55 per month for traditional Foxtel ($26 entertainment pack + $29 sport pack)
• $39 per month for Foxtel Now ($10 starter pack + $29 sport pack)
PRODUCTS:
Foxtel’s base pack is Entertainment, it has 45 channels, then if the subscribers wish can add
on extras packages like sports, movies, drama, entertainment plus, docos and kids.
SERVICES:
• Foxtel app: is free for residential customers, allowing access to any channel that are
subscribed to.
• Foxtel Now: is a streaming service. allowing access to any channel that are subscribed
to. The subscribers have two weeks free trial. (Netflix, Stan, Amazon prime video)
• Foxtel guide: free app TV guide for program descriptions and classifications and remote
record.
• Foxtel magazine: contains daily listings for most channels. It has an extra cost for month.
I am going to focus and study the customer behaviour in the sport package by streaming.
Actually, Foxtel has over 40 different sport like cricket, supercars, F1, NBA, NFL, A-league,
Football, Tennis, Rugby, and more but I want to know more about introduce the feminine target
for support feminine sports, because the last years is more and more common the equal
opportunity for both girls and boys in all sports.
The media plays an important part in Australia's sporting landscape, with many sporting events
televised or broadcast on radio as well as several magazine publications dedicated to sport.
There’s a lot of different options on TV. There are pay TV packages, apps and catch-up TV
options. There are options to bundle subscriptions with their broadband or mobile plan and even
stream sports data-free. This is the most important competitors for FOXTEL:
• OPTUS: with two focuses: FIFA World Cup and English Premier League.
Access to Optus Sport will be:
• Fetch TV: is an internet TV service like to Foxtel and with many of the same
channels. Fetch TV does require a set-top box and you get a choice between
the Fetch TV Mini ($169) and the Fetch TV Mighty ($399). Like Foxtel, Fetch
TV will also require you to choose one of four channel starter packs ($6 each
per month) before you can get access to beIN SPORTS
- $14.95 per month
• Strengths: Foxtel has the Australia’s best sports coverage, on- demand content, the
subscribers have the flexibility to change package once a month.
• Weaknesses: The service doesn’t work with all streaming devices, only in a few
specific, the service is more expensive than your competence. The package sport
isn’t available without a basic subscription. The service won’t work when the
subscriber is travelling outside of Australia.
• Opportunities: Foxtel can access to more subscribers through women’s sports.
• Threats: The service depend of the internet service.
To carry out the consumer behaviour analysis, a survey was designed in SurveyMonkey, which is
a website that allows do online surveys. With this tool, a survey was developed with three
demographic questions and seven closed questions with the idea of knowing what the consumer
knows about Foxtel and what their interests are in the television companies. This survey is in the
Appendix 1.
The survey showed in the demographic questions that of 100% of the people surveyed that live in
Australia, 57.14% is around the age of 14-27 years, 14.25% are 28-33 years old and 28.57% are
in the age range of 34 to 50 years. Of these, 85.71% are women and 14.29% are men. In the
question of the current employment status, 42.86% are employed full-time, another 43.86% are
employed part-time and 14.29 are self-employed.
In the closed questions it was found that 29.57% of the respondents were extremely likely
watching TV, 28.57% moderately likely, another 28.57% slightly likely and 14.29% not at all likely.
When asked which device they use to watch TV, 48.86% of the respondents answered that on
TV, 29.57% on the laptop/desktop, 0% on a gaming console and 28.57% on the mobile device.
Of the respondents, 42, 86% spend 0-4 hours per week watching TV, another 42.86% spend 5 to
8 hours and 14.29% more than 13 hours per week. The TV package that they are most like to
watch with 57.14% are movies, 14.29% is drama, 14.29% is entertainment and another 14.59% is
documentaries. The category of children and sports was not selected by any of the respondents.
A 28, 57% know about Foxtel by television, 42.86% by recommendation, another 14.29% by radio
and 14.29% by print advertising. 42.86% have never heard about Foxtel. In this case, the
influence of TV advertising is higher than radio and print advertising, but the recommendation
between family and friend are the mayor percent of the respondents.
Of those who know about Foxtel, 28.57% are extremely likely to recommend Foxtel to a friend
family member, and in equal percentages, 14.29% quite likely, moderately likely, slightly likely and
another 14.29% not at all likely. With this survey we perceive that Foxtel has a good perception in
the people, which is why they like to recommend it. In the last question, 28.57% pay less than $
25 in the monthly cable bill / internet package, another 28.57% between $ 25- $50, another
28.57% between $ 50- $ 100 and only 14.29% pay between $100 - $150
Acquire new users by 10% by 2020. Extending our consumers, make it more inclusive, since
currently the percentage of men who only watch sports is greater, the idea would be to try to
visualize more the sport of women.
• Increase the transmission of female sports, to give greater visibility to it, since there is
currently a great difference between the coverage of male and female sports on
television.
• Make alliances with partners and sponsors, involve them through campaigns and
promotions.
• Increase communication in social media by 10%, through campaigns, generating
content appropriate to the target.
Strengths: sport in Australia is in high demand, which is why the offer is facilitated. In
addition, we have a large number of female high-performance athletes in different sports and
great career that represent the country proudly.
On another hand, Foxtel has a wide spectrum of channels, in addition it has the option of
Foxtel Now, where it includes live coverage and via streaming and for this reason, it has a
good reputation among users.
Weaknesses: You cannot record games or programs in Foxtel Now, which means that
people who cannot access the channel at this time, lose their favourite games or programs.
Opportunities: It could improve the online interface and digital skills to reach new customers
and thus improve the user experience. In addition, we can increase the demand for a female
market.
Threats: when making coverage in female sports, do not generate as much demand as you
would like. Our social media campaigns would depend on the type of internet connection.
Product strategies: it is the medium that is used to satisfy the needs of the consumer.
• Carry out coverage of different sports, with greater variety for all types of public.
• Use a simpler and friendlier user interface to create an attractive user experience.
• Increase the quality of the content, with live analysis of the matches.
• Include in Foxtel Now options, recording live matches.
Price strategies: This component will always be a basic concept in economics that is the law
of supply and demand. With this law, the price must be adjusted to the product.
• To attract our new consumers, an offer will be made with the first three months free.
• Compared to the competition, the price of the product is high, but Foxtel has a good
reputation, which is why it seeks to carry out campaigns and offers for potential
consumers.
Promotion strategies: It ensures that the brand is recognized and promotes a reputation and
recognition through the different channels of communication.
• There will be a campaign to encourage the audience in the women's matches of the
different sports through advertising banners, the digital media and social media
channel and the platform will be in Foxtel's website and social network platforms.
Market segment:
• Geographic: person that live in Australia, far target segmentation and original area,
from different race and cultures.
• Demographic: young adult and adults between 14-50 years old, could be singles or
have a family, employed and students, could have a healthy life style.
• Psychographic: consumers interested in sports, from enthusiasts to passionate fans.
They interested in knowing all about the last news, matches, statistics, analysis about
their favourite sport.
Marketing Position:
This is the place the product has in the minds of consumers relative to the competing
products. The Foxtel’s sport package is expensive than the competence, but this offer a
mayor number of channels.
Marketing environment:
Digital entertainment can be distributed and accessed through thousands of platforms and
content formats. This content format makes the Internet user feel closer to the event that is
being broadcast and the live broadcasts on social networks make it possible to have a direct
channel with customers.
On another hand, gender equity should be sensitive when transmitting female sports content
of equal or greater importance to men. Currently there are high performance women who
excel in different sports, and do not have the same sports coverage and journalistic approach
as the male part.
• Print media (newspaper, flyers, billboard): when sports events are held or there are live
matches, flyers can be distributed with subscription discounts to the sports package,
directly reaching the specific target. It is a channel is cheaper but it not effective when we
need position the brand.
• Mass media (TV and radio): it is the most effective and direct way to reach the target, as
well as having access to those that can sometimes be difficult to reach or they do not
have access to internet.
• Social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) is the means to reach younger people, as
well as the effectiveness of the campaign can be measured.
• Digital media (website and e-mail): it is the place where the user is directed to obtain
more specific information of the product to be offered, there the direct purchase can be
made, or a consultant can be consulted instantly
With the design of the direct response offer, we want to reach customers more efficiently to
create more solid and personalized relationships in order to obtain an immediate response.
The main offer would be: if two people are subscribed to Foxtel, during the first three months
they pay the price of a single person and the sports package is included. With this offer we
want to achieve our main marketing objective, which is to acquire new users by 10% by 2020,
so the offer is given to understand the interest or curiosity of the customers and thus publicize
our sports package.
Hard offers: our serious customers are offered the free sports package for the first six
months and includes the 4K package on two TV screens and Full HD for mobile devices.
Soft offers: for our customers who have a long-term interest in the product, they are offered
the free sports package during the first three months and the 4K package for a single screen
or device.
With these offers we also want to increase traffic in our social networks by 10% so that when
designing our advertising campaigns, we can move forward through them and we can have
more control over the offer.
Thanks to tools such as Twitter Analytics, Facebook Analytics, Google Trends, Google
Analytics, etc... We can measure the effectiveness of digital campaigns. we only need to have
an account in each of the social media platforms and so we can begin to analyse how
effective they are in digital campaigns.
In our digital campaign in social media we can measure and monitor the effectiveness of the
offer, through Facebook Analytics and Twitter Analytics, these are free tools that give us
information such as age, sex, location, interests, and we can be analyse in real time. In our
website we can measure and monitor the effectiveness of the offer, through Google Analytics,
this gives us all the information if we have a banner with the advertising of the campaign that
informs us of the traffic of this, the duration of the session and the contents visited, gives us
an extensive traffic analysis on our page.
We can monitor our offer, making a monthly report on customer comments, reviewing the
annual financial growth report, and making a quarterly report on customers who did not
subscribe.
