How digital engagement 4.5x’d using perk-based incentives

Executive summary

A leading ISP and mobile bundle provider struggled with digital engagement despite strong service adoption. By embedding Paylode’s loyalty platform into its app and web portal, the provider saw a 4.5x increase in app installs, 38% more bundle upgrades, and a 72% perk redemption rate within 120 days.

Challenge

Customer interactions were transactional, with limited mobile engagement and no compelling reason for users to explore the digital ecosystem.

Low app engagement among mobile-only users
Only 20% of users had downloaded the app, limiting the opportunity for digital upsells and loyalty-building.
Lack of incentive for digital behaviors
Actions like autopay and eSIM activation had no reward mechanisms, reducing adoption of cost-efficient behaviors.
Minimal upsell conversions
Mobile-only customers showed low interest in upgrading to bundled plans due to a lack of timely, relevant value incentives.

Paylode launched a fully embedded loyalty solution with perks unlocked by completing high-value digital actions.
