In the vibrant and competitive South African mobile landscape, strategic partnerships and innovative promotions are crucial for driving sales and brand loyalty. De Risk International partnered with a leading mobile network operator (MNO) and a top smartphone manufacturer (OEM) to create a guaranteed reward campaign that exceeded expectations, taking into account the unique preferences of South African consumers and the importance of driving contract conversions.

Challenges in the South African Context

The project faced unique challenges in the South African market:

De Risk International’s Solution: A Guaranteed Reward Campaign on a segmented bundle offer.

De Risk International devised a tailored solution that addressed these challenges head-on. The campaign offered customers a guaranteed reward valued at a significant amount when they purchased the target smartphone model and activated it on the MNO’s network. Crucially, the reward options were carefully curated to cater to the target consumers.

Driving Growth Across Multiple Dimensions

Our guaranteed reward solution not only boosted sales for the targeted smartphone models but also yielded broader benefits for the MNO:

Reward Choices: Catering to the South African Consumer

De Risk International recognizes that successful reward campaigns must resonate with the specific needs and preferences of the target audience. In the South African context, where lifestyle rewards and practical necessities are highly valued, we crafted a reward selection that addressed these specific desires.

Customers who participated in the campaign were offered a choice between two compelling reward options:

  1. Retail Chain Vouchers: Vouchers for a popular retail chain specializing in clothing, groceries, and other lifestyle products. This option appealed to the diverse needs of South African consumers, offering flexibility and choice in how they spent their reward.
  2. Food Delivery Service Coupon: Coupons for a leading food delivery service, recognizing the increasing popularity of convenient dining options in the country. This option provided a practical and enjoyable benefit that resonated with busy lifestyles.

By offering a combination of lifestyle-oriented rewards and essential services, the campaign catered to a broad spectrum of preferences, driving higher engagement and participation. This strategic approach was crucial in incentivizing consumers to purchase the smartphone and activate it on the MNO’s network, ultimately leading to the campaign’s impressive success.
