PVR Cinemas Group president and CEO Pramod Arora said, "In our everlasting zest to provide convenience to our esteemed patrons, we have associated and partnered with Bookmyshow.com as our preferred e-ticketing channel partner. We have been in discussions with BMS for quite some time to work out this association, which shall help us touch millions of new additional customers who may now experience the joy of watching films at PVR Cinema near them. This is another initiative to help augment the box office revenues by reaching out to more and more consumers and achieving better penetration in our micro markets. Besides a better reach, our association with BMS shall also help us in CRM initiatives by deploying tools like KYC (know your customer) to help us serve our customers with their preferred choice of seats, concessions and other soft offerings. To sum up, this association is a sure delight not only for us but for our patrons, film distributors and producers alike!" Bookmyshow will market and sell tickets of PVR Cinemas, over its web, mobile apps and other affiliate channels. The significant consumer shift over the past few years towards online and mobile sales, with a strong CRM backbone allows better segmentation and analysis in marketing relevant content to users. This shift also helps reduce the burden at the box office by reducing costs and making up for the lack of customer data thereby helping in predictive modeling.
