We recently added the STARZ Network to our premium cable tier.
Currently, 852 of our basic service su
bscribers purchase this service.
At the current price of $10.50, our
revenues from this new channel are
$8,946 per month.
As you know, our penetration rate for STARZ is not as high as we
expected. Compared with the other
two pay services we offer (HBO
and Showtime), the number of subscribers for STARZ is still rather low.
Some of our customers have indica
ted that the main reason they
haven’t signed up is the price.
To boost revenues, I am thinking
that we might want to offer a
promotional price for STARZ starting in
July. Since this offer will be part
of our summer promotion plan and will be well publicized, the same
deal has to be offered to our existing subscribers as well. My concern
is that the additional subscriptions generated by the lower price may
not fully offset the revenues lost from
our existing base of subscribers.
The marketing department provided the attached data on the demand
and costs for this channel in our Region 1 service area. Please
evaluate our current pricing strategy for STARZ based on these data.
I am particularly interested (1) in whether lowering the price will yield
higher revenues, and (2) in an estimate of the maximum monthly
revenues we can achieve through this channel.
