During the holidays, it’s easy to become overwhelmed. There’s an endless to-do list, and expectations can be high to deliver memorable experiences for our loved ones. In many ways, the very services that are intended to make things easier actually serve to add some complexity – often unintentionally – to our lives. When it’s possible to order same-day shipping from numerous online vendors, and send returns back just as easily, it’s a very slippery slope before you’re placing multiple orders in one day (we’ve all been there.)
One aspect of consumers’ lives that has quietly become simpler is the integration of mobile phone plans from your local cable and internet provider. It used to be all the rage
to try and order mobile and video services from different vendors, but instead, we became consumed with trying to manage multiple phone, data, and video plans from different providers, a practice that can become particularly unwieldly at a busy time like the holidays. Ultimately time spent managing multiple vendors cut into simple joys like a movie with the family, FaceTime with the grandparents, and so on.
According to the American Psychological Association, 38% of people say their stress increases during the holidays. A survey by the American Heart Association found that the holidays are more stressful than taxes for many Americans. Sources of turmoil include lack of time, juggling school and community events, trying to get family to agree on when to get together, and on the list goes on. As you can see, there’s already plenty of stress this time of year – so why not simplify where you can?
Companies like Cox are trying to reverse some of the unintentional chaos that came with giving consumers too many choices. Think of it this way: the more convergence of services under one umbrella, the more your convenience increases. It took some time to sort this out, but it’s clear the prevalence of choice does not necessarily translate into an abundance of convenience.
With mobile phone plans that can yield significant savings compared to standalone mobile and data packages and the ability to integrate many of the most popular streaming services into one video plan, it’s safe to say Cox has your back when it comes to saving money and simplifying things.
Now those rare moments of peace and tranquility can be spent with your loved ones and friends rather than remembering another password. In fact, Cox Mobile can offer cost savings through a variety of plans and discounts, including:
• Bundling: Adding Cox Mobile to a Cox Internet plan can save $14.99 per month on the internet plan for 24 months.
• Multi-line discounts: Customers with multiple Gig Unlimited lines can save on their monthly bill. For example, a customer with four Gig Unlimited lines pays $30 per line per month.
• Savings calculator: Customers can use the Cox Mobile savings calculator to estimate how much they can save based on their current mobile provider and the number of lines they have.
• Gig Unlimited plan: Cox customers can save an average of $180 per year with the Gig Unlimited plan.
• Pay As You Gig plan: Customers can choose the Pay As You Gig plan for $15 per gig per month.
This holiday season, focus on the things that matter the most, like the people right in front of you or the neighbors who need a warm hug. Let Cox handle the multimedia and mobile so you can enjoy the time that is precious and the people you love.
