Consumer Cellular Announces Partnership with Nurture Connect

Consumer Cellular, the exclusive wireless provider for AARP members, has announced a partnership with Nurture Connect, a company dedicated to helping 50+ consumers learn about technology. The collaboration will help educate seniors about communication technologies and cellphone services.

“As we look to share Consumer Cellular’s wireless services with new customers, Nurture Connect provides us with additional expertise in the boomers marketplace,” said John Marick, CEO of Consumer Cellular. “Through this partnership, Consumer Cellular will be promoted among Nurture Connect’s current communication technologies, enabling both companies to better reach the boomer marketplace and enhance seniors’ lives.”

Nurture Connect works with a variety of companies committed to the wellness, security and connectivity of seniors. Its product offerings include: health monitoring, medication management systems, computers with friendly email and video chat features, personal safety GPS locators, brain fitness software and more.

As part of the agreement, Nurture Connect will utilize its sales consultants to promote and market Consumer Cellular among its diverse product offerings. Additionally, Nurture Connect will engage local representatives as Consumer Cellular ambassadors at events and technology training courses. Nurture Connect’s approach is to educate customers about cellular and other technology products, as well as deliver product demonstrations in homes and communities allowing customers to see, touch and experience the products before making purchases.

“Having a cellphone and service is more than a ‘nice-to-have’ item; for active people, a cellphone is important for personal safety and security while at home or away. Consumer Cellular is an important partner that helps us deliver on our promise of bringing safety products to our mature customers,” said Shana Duthie, Nurture Connect’s CEO. “We are excited about the partnership with Consumer Cellular, because we know their cellphones and affordable service plans are needed by our customers. Plus their customer service is exceptional.”
