Insights

Market Research Analyst

This holiday promotion campaign represents a strategic move by Verizon to boost Q4 sales through aggressive discounting and bundling. The trade-in offers for premium smartphones like iPhone and Samsung devices, combined with free tablets and watches (up to $2,000 value), indicate a push to lock in customers on higher-tier Unlimited Ultimate plans at $90/month. The Netflix & Max streaming bundle and Xbox gaming promotions for home internet subscribers show Verizon's focus on expanding its home services segment.

The 25% cashback offer (up to $250) on accessories using the Verizon Visa Card is a clever strategy to increase card adoption and accessory attachment rates. While these promotions may pressure short-term margins, they could drive long-term value through increased subscriber retention and higher-value plan adoption.
