The Secret of "Chimney Seikatsu" Prices
Why is it cheaper than major companies? 3 Promising Reasons
"Chimney Seikatsu" utilizes the existing infrastructure of major operators and achieves low prices through the following three mechanisms.
(1) No TV commercials or large-scale advertising
We have adopted a model that reaches users directly through Akihiro Nishino's proprietary media, without spending hundreds of millions of yen in advertising costs for TV commercials and talent casting. The saved costs are returned through lower fees.
(2) Completely online & zero store maintenance costs
All rent for physical stores and personnel costs for counter staff are cut. By making it completely online, the reduced costs are returned directly to the fees.
Also, there is no need to go to a store and wait for hours. Mobile switching can be completed from a smartphone in as little as 3 minutes, keeping the same phone number. Optical internet can also be switched just by applying via the Web.
* Web operation by the customer themselves is required.
(3) Using the same network as major companies
