setup.

Subject: Re: [WISPA] The Cord Cutting Sales Pitch

We are promoting cutting the cord and streaming. So many people in our area 
don't like the cable company or don't want dish. We do OTA installations for 
$199 and then $99 plus tax for the antenna (this includes other equipment as 
well). We are doing probably 5 a month if not more. We do them stand alone or 
with our Internet. If someone installs internet and TV at the same time they 
get a $50 discount off the entire install.  We have people we do installs for 
who have an antenna already, they get a $50 discount for the antenna, so they 
still pay $49 plus tax for other accessories.

We will help set up the streaming device and we recommend only streaming 
devices with an ethernet port - just too much wireless interference in DC to 
use a stick.

Here is the page on our website about cutting the cord:

Here is a website we put together, but have not actively promoted (yet):

customer would be resistant to change without us being able to provide their TV 
service. 

We have been evaluating two IPTV service offerings and just don't feel like 
they are going to be profitable or a good business line to invest in long term. 
 Interested in feedback but between the slim margins, setup costs, ongoing 
support, and the transport or transit that would be required it seems 
break-even would be a best case. I know it would probably win us more internet 
customers but not sure it would be enough to be worthwhile. 


We have done satellite TV  sales in the past and I don't want to get back into 
that either. 


I am curious if any of you are actively marketing or encouraging streaming to 
try to make cord cutting part of your sales pitch. We are even considering 
giving one of the $30 Roku players along with installation. I am curious how 
you are marketing this and how much support you offer to people on the 
streaming side. Like most rural areas we have a large number of not very tech 
savvy users.


Also curious about installing OTA TV antenna as an additional service at 
installation. Anyone doing that and how is that working out?


Thanks
