Every day, Calix partners with innovative CSPs to cut through the social media noise and communicate directly and effectively with their subscribers without incurring cost-per-click expenses. This powerful daily connection with subscribers is an important step for CSPs to take when battling consumer giants for the subscriber’s home and mindshare. The Revenue EDGE is designed for this purpose and the new enhancements will further enable marketers with powerful tools.
- Calix Marketing Cloud: The redesign of CMC will streamline marketing processes and make it faster and easier than ever for marketers to segment, target, and engage their subscribers based on their propensity to buy advanced services and Revenue EDGE Suites, identify churn risk, and target new subscribers. Calix Marketing Cloud will combine real-time behavioral data with predictive analytics and Customer Success-generated industry best practices to deliver pre-configured micro-segmentations and help CSPs launch targeted campaigns for everyone—from gamers and streamers, to work-from-home professionals. Calix Marketing Cloud will also provide tools to easily complete custom segmentations tailored to a CSP’s unique marketing strategy. The Calix Customer Success team will provide support and guidance to ensure that customers can utilize these new capabilities across all their campaigns.
- CommandIQ mobile application: The redesigned and improved CSP-branded CommandIQ app places a powerful CSP communication channel directly into the palms of all subscribers’ hands. As subscribers embrace new technologies such as home network security, parental controls, and connected devices, the need for a central control “hub” for the home has become paramount. The CSP-branded CommandIQ app provides a simple and intuitive way to view and control every aspect of the connected home—from running speed tests, to setting up guest networks and parental controls, to receiving automated security alerts, and more. Thanks to mobile notifications delivered through Calix Marketing Cloud, the newly designed CommandIQ app cuts through the social media noise bombarding subscribers to create a zero-cost, dedicated communication channel. As the CommandIQ application can be easily personalized with the CSP’s brand, every interaction reinforces their brand—and only their brand—with the subscriber.
- EDGE Enablement: Every CSP using the Revenue EDGE solution gains access to hundreds of world-class EDGE enablement marketing assets, enabling the CSP to quickly and easily launch branded campaigns that leverage the real-time behavioral insights provided by CMC. These assets range from fliers, advertisements, education booklets, support videos, and web /social media templates. In the latest release, Calix has prioritized video as it is an invaluable asset to educate, inform, and engage subscribers. Calix has launched the Market Activation Video Editor to help CSP marketing teams personalize BLAST videos and deliver world class educational and promotional videos that promote their brand. With MAVE, it has never been easier or faster for a CSP to elevate its brand.
