[On-Demand Webinar] Mobile Device Trade-Ins and Insurance: Ways to Gain Consumer Trust in an Online Process

Webinar Overview

The year 2020 saw a significant disruption in the sale of smartphones; risk-averse consumers and the physical restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic combined to create the perfect storm and make mobile device sales and trade-ins much more challenging. Yet the outlook is positive; the transitional process to 5G accelerates, and with it comes significant opportunities for mobile carriers, retailers, used-device processers, and insurers for increased revenues, as well as customer satisfaction and retention.

In this webinar, Blancco’s EVP of Products and Technology Russ Ernst will explain how the 5G ‘super cycle’ can stimulate trade-ins for the used devices market and sales of mobile insurance, increasingly seen through online channels.

Key topics include:

  • The demand for 5G devices? and the ‘super cycle’ effect
  • The impact of COVID-19 on consumer buyer behaviour and how you can adapt to meet changing buyer habits
  • In-store vs online trade-ins and mobile insurance: how to improve the online experience and gain consumer trust
  • Examination of the reasons consumers aren’t comfortable with trade-ins, and the strategies available to change this
  • How to improve customer experience and revenue in a 5G, lockdown and post pandemic environment
