Unlocking Customer Loyalty, Growth, and Margin in a Changing Wireless Market
Retailers need to do more than just put phones on display and hope for foot traffic in today's rapidly evolving wireless market. To succeed in 2025, you must have alliances and product offerings that address consumers' three primary needs: value, dependability, and flexibility.
That’s where AntGen comes in—helping retailers tap into Verizon Prepaid’s growing opportunity.
This blog explores the reasons behind Verizon Prepaid's growing status as a "secret weapon," how it contributes to retail success, and what you should be doing immediately.
1. The Huge Potential: Why Prepaid Is Important
A. The demand from consumers is changing
Long-term agreements and intricate postpaid commitments are becoming less popular among consumers, especially those who are cost-conscious. They prefer plans that let them pay monthly without credit checks or long-term commitments.
Because prepaid provides this flexibility, retailers can reach a wider audience. "Customers want prepaid," according to AntGen. Verizon delivers the same service.
Customers are also expecting better network quality, even in less expensive plans: coverage, 5G, and no surprises. VP fulfills that promise.
B. Verizon's brand equity and network strength
- Verizon Prepaid’s network is one of the key factors that make it stand out: "More than 2.68 million square miles and over 99 percent of the US population" are covered, according to Verizon.
- Verizon has received repeated recognition (e.g., J.D. Power awards) for network quality — this helps eliminate a primary objection that value-conscious consumers often raise (“Isn’t the network worse if I go prepaid?”)
C. Benefits for Retailers: Increased Profit, Possibility of Cross-selling, Reduced Operational Risk
- AntGen highlights that Verizon Prepaid lowers retailer risk—no annual contracts, no long-term commitments.
- More significantly, the prepaid structure creates opportunities for upselling and cross-selling, including bundle discounts, device and accessory offers, and multi-line discounts. Retailers can maintain their competitiveness on value while increasing average ticket size and margins.
2. What Sets Verizon Prepaid Apart in 2025
In 2025, retailers should highlight the following key attributes and selling points:
- No credit checks, no yearly contracts.
Customers aren’t penalized for switching plans or canceling anytime. Verizon claims that there are "no annual contracts or credit checks." - Network access and 5G are included.
Verizon's nationwide 4G LTE and 5G networks are accessible through VP plans.
"You're getting the top network, not just a budget alternative," retailers need to stress. - Transparent pricing and discounts for loyalty and autopay.
Verizon offers a variety of plan options, including Talk & Text for as little as $30 per month (with Auto Pay discount).
Retailers can boost retention and build recurring revenue through loyalty and Auto Pay discounts. - Flexible device options and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies.
To ease the transition, retailers can highlight that customers can choose a new device through Verizon Prepaid or keep the one they currently own.
This helps close sales by reducing friction. - Travel-friendly and international features.
Features like unlimited texting to more than 200 countries and the ability to talk and text in Mexico and Canada are included in VP plans.
Retailers who cater to immigrant populations or frequent tourists can benefit significantly from this. - Retailer assistance through the Master Agent channel (e.g., AntGen).
AntGen's status as an authorized master agent saves the retailer from having to start from scratch, including brand compliance, store design, training, and activation tools — all available when you partner with AntGen.
This greatly streamlines onboarding and continuing sales.
3. How Verizon Prepaid Can Help Retailers Succeed
Verizon Prepaid gives retailers a competitive advantage, but how well you position, market, and maintain it will determine your success. Here's how to take full advantage of this 2025 opportunity.
- Take the Lead with Simplicity and Trust
Customers are drawn to straightforward plans with no fine print. Highlight Verizon’s transparent pricing, no-contract flexibility, and trusted network coverage. Keep messaging simple: “Top network. No contract. Great value.”
This clarity expedites the purchasing process and boosts confidence. - Establish a Superb In-Store Experience
Verizon Prepaid excels at the point of sale.
Teach employees to debunk myths about "lower quality" and provide a clear explanation of prepaid benefits.
Streamline activations by making them quick, paperless, and user-friendly.
To help customers see the value right away, display comparison charts and clear pricing boards.
A seamless, expert setup converts walk-ins into loyal clients. - Pay Attention to Value for Customers, Not Just Price
Value wins loyalty, but price attracts attention. Demonstrate to clients how Verizon Prepaid provides 5G access, loyalty benefits, and premium coverage without committing them to a plan.
Promote loyalty programs and Auto Pay enrollment as wise financial tools rather than merely as sales. This strengthens long-term retention.
4. Important Retail KPIs to Monitor
Keep an eye on these to make sure you're benefiting as much as possible from the VP partnership:
- Device + accessories + plan add-ons = average sales per activation.
- Line growth is the number of new prepaid lines added each month.
- Upgrade rate: how many customers switch to higher tiers or add lines.
- Prepaid line retention rate and churn - evaluate against your other products.
- Prepaid lines - These lines typically have a higher profit margin than postpaid lines because they receive less subsidy.
- Customer satisfaction and activation speed - the duration between in-store sales and the start of service, as well as the first week of retention.
- Accessories, multi-line upselling, and mobile hotspot sales are examples of repeat purchase or add-on rates.
