Why is it important to build a service that customers love?
With direct-to-consumer (D2C) streaming services, broadcasters have to closely track and improve all stages of the user journey. One of the most under-appreciated yet most important links in this chain is customer care since as directly affects user satisfaction and retention with your service. Having to worry about the audience - or consumer-focus is something new for many media companies, but this is an urgent task if you want to succeed in the D2C world. After all, acquiring a new subscriber is 5 to 25 times more expensive than retaining an existing one (according to research by Fred Reichheld, the inventor of the Net Promoter Score).
It makes sense: you don’t have to spend time and resources going out and finding a new customer — you just have to keep the one you are happy with. Keeping subscribers happy and knowing how to keep them loyal is key to the long-term success of OTT initiatives. That's where Cleeng comes in with Hi5 - cloud-based, AI-enhanced customer care!

AI-Powered Chatbot Support: If the Help Center doesn't address their needs, users can engage with our advanced chatbot for real-time assistance. Our chatbot achieves on avg. 73% automatic resolution rate!
-
Personalized Human Interaction: In instances where the chatbot can't fully address the concern, users can seamlessly transition to our ticket contact form within the chat environment. This paves the way for our expert agents to provide specialized support. In 2023, we achieved an impressive one-touch resolution rate of over 72%. Tickets that are not resolved in one touch typically require intervention from our tier 2 support team for more complex issues.
-
Efficient Resolution: For the small fraction of cases that require deeper investigation or are beyond the customer tier 1 scope — only about 1% users are considered for refunds or seamlessly escalated to the technical support.
By adopting this tiered approach, we not only optimize our support channels but also enable our agents to concentrate on intricate issues. This ensures they deliver exceptional, tailored support, elevating the overall user experience.
