Abstract
The United States, Canada, The United Kingdom and South Africa all now have
advertiser-sponsored, free-to-consumer telephone-based information services.
These services have enjoyed varying levels of success. Key elements within the
business models of each service have contributed to this variation. Whether
you offer or plan to offer these free-to-consumer services or are competing
against them, you need to understand each offering in detail. Each of these
services is unique.
This Report Features:
- 33 Charts and Tables (See Table of Charts & Figures)
- 128 Pages that provide an understanding of what these free-to-consumer
services are, how they work and why they have been launched now
- Detailed review of provider's business models and call flows for each
service reviewed
- Test call results to gauge and compare service accuracy, speed, ease of
use, and call features for the North American services.
- Two separate forecasts that detail two possible scenarios for the
development of these services in the US market.
- Actionable recommendations for both those who provide advertiser-sponsored
services and those who find themselves competing against them.
Who Needs This Report?
- Companies that offer, or plan to offer, advertiser-sponsored services
- Companies that are now competing against "free" advertiser-sponsored
services
- Yellow Pages and Internet directory publishers
- Technology suppliers to the industry
- Venture capital firms and investors in the information services arena
Key Findings:
The confluence of key market factors have created the opportunity for new
advertiser-sponsored, free to consumers, information services to enter the
market in the US and Israel within recent months. These new services join the
ranks of already successful implementations in Canada and South Africa. This
report details how and why these services have emerged now, the strategic
approach each has taken and provides the results of thousands of test calls
placed to test the overall accuracy, and efficiency of these services.
- Three new advertiser-sponsored "free" DA/DQ services joined
1-800-SAN-DIEGO in the US market since November of 2005. Each of these new
services has unique elements to their business model; all share some of the
same challenges.
- The United Kingdom, Canada, South Africa and Israel also have free to
consumer information services applications. Each of these is unique and
approaches both consumers and advertisers with a different positioning in the
marketplace.
- The new, national advertiser-sponsored services are cannibalizing some
DA/DQ call volumes, but they are also expanding the entire category with new
incremental call volumes from consumers who were not heavy users of
traditional DA/DQ services.
- Under the right circumstances free to consumer DA/DQ applications could
grow to reach 1.5 Billion calls per year in the US market by 2010.
- To reach that number of calls each year just being "free" is not good
enough
- Test calls to these services generated a range of results. The quality and
accuracy of some of these services is approaching that of US fixed line
carrier offerings which range in price to consumers from $0.20 (Sprint New
Jersey) to $1.99 (AT&T).
- Traditional DA/DQ services can compete with "free" if they lose their
traditional mind set and focus on the right strategic elements. You are
offering a solution to a consumer's problem, not just a telephone number
lookup.
- The Pierz Group projects the on-going successful introduction of similar
services in other markets around the world.
