Get The Best Rates For Bulk Cable TV
Today's technology-driven world demands the best in telecom services, and cable TV and Internet are no exception. With so many providers out there who all claim to be the best, it can be confusing for property owners to choose which one will work best for their residents and community.
At Converged Services, we help you navigate the landscape of cable TV and Internet service providers from start to finish. We handle every step of the process, from vendor selection to contract negotiation, and can even project manage the installation.
Whether it is a negotiation on price, contract length, or other requirements, let us help improve your profitability by advising a better bulk cable TV and Internet contract for your property.
What is A "Bulk Cable TV Contract"?
While some apartments or condos do not offer cable TV or Internet bundled into their leases, most properties will include these services in the lease as building amenities. In order to provide these services, the building will open a “bulk contract” with the service provider to ensure building-wide coverage.
While the nature of the agreement is pretty straightforward, there are a vast number of variables that can cause the price of these agreements to go up or down. Factors like the number of users, the amount of bandwidth, the length of the agreement, and more will all impact the final price for your bulk contract.
Like in any other business relationship, there’s usually some room for negotiation when the service provider gives you its initial offer. However, negotiating a bulk cable contract is different from haggling over a car's price. It’s vital that you have a technology solutions partner like Converged Services in your corner that understands the ins and outs of bulk cable TV negotiations before you sit down at the table.
The Benefits Of Bulk Cable TV For Your Property
If you are the owner or manager of an apartment, condo, or another multifamily residence, there are a number of benefits to engaging a cable company that provides cable TV and Internet services in bulk. Whether you’re looking to improve tenant satisfaction, increase profitability, or expand your building amenities, bulk cable TV and Internet is an excellent approach for achieving all three.
It's Cost-Effective
Like any other industry, when you’re willing to buy cable TV in bulk, the vendor is willing to cut you a break on the price. Once you’ve reached an agreement and your cable TV and Internet service are installed, your building essentially becomes the service provider for the tenants.
This gives you the ability to bundle the service cost into each lease. Whether you plan to upcharge the resident for the connection or simply to include it “for free” as a value-added benefit, it’s likely that the price they pay would be considerably lower than if they were to open their own contract making it a win-win.
In addition, if you do plan to charge your tenants for the connection, you can create an additional profit stream with little to no extra effort. For example, let’s say you have 100 tenants and make an additional $20 per month from cable TV contracts. This is an additional $2,000 per month that you can reinvest into the property you’d otherwise miss out on.
Get Faster Connection Speeds
At the end of the day, the thing most people are concerned with when it comes to their cable TV and Internet services is the connection speeds. Nobody likes streaming content that has to constantly buffer, dropping Zoom calls when working from home, or not being able to get online to check important emails.
One of the most significant benefits of engaging an ISP in a bulk cable TV contract is getting more bandwidth for less money. In some cases, instead of negotiating a lower rate, cable TV providers will offer more bandwidth or more channels/content than would be available otherwise.
Not only will these enhanced services improve tenant satisfaction and lease renewal rates, but they will also create additional marketing opportunities for your property. For example, you can offer “faster connections at lower rates” than your competitors or even advertise your upload and download speeds in your marketing materials.
Make Your Tenant's Lives Easier
There is nothing more frustrating than getting ready to unwind after a long day only to find that your cable TV or Internet is not working as expected. The last thing anyone wants to do during their relaxation time is spend a bunch of time on hold with the cable company.
When one provider is responsible for all of the cable TV and Internet for a building, it simplifies the support and troubleshooting process. When issues arise, one point of contact at your building can contact their point of contact at the cable TV company, allowing problems to be resolved more quickly.
When you take on a bulk cable TV agreement, you’re taking the customer service burden off your tenants and ensuring a smoother experience with better uptime and support.
