Evaluating • Monthly Growth
Evaluating Dayman Subs>Non Dayman Subs. • ARPU But it was a genuine behaviour, higher recharge values. • Churn Rate Dayman Subs<Non Dayman Subs. Dayman Subs>Non Dayman Subs. - (Active/Total Base) With a difference of 20% after 10 months of launch. • No remarkable differences had been found regarding the subscribers behaviour from different products. A slight higher (Bonus Given/Recharge Value) for RAZOR subs., and that is justified by their higher ARPU & MOUs.
Evaluating • (Benefited Subscribers/Participants) • Not all participants had benefited “monthly” from Dayman due to: • Entering into the Reactivation Period. • Not achieving the total of JD15 in that month. • Considered as a registered subscriber, but not aware of the mechanism. • (Bonus Given/Recharge Value) • Feb02: 6.5% • Feb03: 15.2%
Evaluating • Telemarketing Campaign, September 2002 • Questionnaire was designed to serve both Dayman & Non-Dayman subscribers. • Findings: • Dayman subs. follow new promotions offered by Fastlink more than Non-Dayman subs. by a higher difference of 16%. • The highest promotion remembered by both segments was Dayman!! • 7.6% of Dayman subs. did not know about the programme, on the other hand 56.0% of Non-Dayman subs. did not know about it!
Evaluating • Findings – cont; • D) Both segments had heard about Dayman by: • - W.O.M - about 50% of respondents” in both segments • - Newspapers • - Fastlink Employees • - T.V - Dayman was not advertised by any T.V commercials! • - Other Tools of Media • E) 29% of Dayman subscribers claimed that they did not feel any difference with Dayman, why? • Getting extra credit talking more • Talking more losing credit!
Different Retention Schemes • By studying Dayman and its impact on the market, the main concern for all subscribers was to get free bonus regardless of the mechanism. • Market needed a simpler mechanism to get instant bonus, with no need to register “Do not trust any long-term promotion”. • The monthly given bonus “money spent” for Dayman was enormously increasing. • The intention to increase the ARPU/MOU’s has already been achieved.
Different Retention Schemes • In order to capture the created value with Dayman, a decision was taken to stop Dayman after a year and new approaches were adopted and implemented on the Prepaid RoadMap of 2003 & 2004. • Interesting Fact!! • Specific segment “high value recharging behaviour” was getting the big portion of the monthly given bonus!
