[Case 04]

400% MAUs increase through contextual entry points

Telco

Increased MAUs by 400% by implementing contextual promo tiles

Increasing engagement with contextual entry points

[Project Overview]

Several products within the ‘Living Network’ ecosystem faced lack of awareness/visibility due to feature prioritisation on the app, leading to low engagement of many of the LN features, Optus Eco being one of them.

[Problem Statement]

Optus aimed to achieve it’s ‘mission’ of being Australia’s most loved everyday brand’ by differentiating from other telcos with its Living Network suit of innovative products. However, users lack awareness and engagement with Living Network products, such as Optus Eco, while surfacing the My Optus app due to poor visibility amongst other higher priority features on the home screen

[Process]

[01] User Research

Gathered insights around user traffic and engagement service features and LN products within the app

Analysed user behaviour data to understand which service features users engage the most with and engagement with promo tiles at the time

Benchmarked against other apps to identify best ways to create awareness/engagement with other products within the app at the right time and place.

[02] Insights

Users are unaware of many Living Network products

Users dismiss current promo tiles as they take them as visual clutter or don’t feel they are usually relevant to them

Users would rather have a more personalised experience with the promotions they surface on the app

[03 Design Solution]

Contextual entry point tiles across the app to increase discoverability and engagement when and where most relevant

Iterated on multiple design to reach maximum simplification and reduce the ‘visual noise’ within the app

Applied same UX logic to increase engagement of several other Living Networks features

[04] Testing & Iteration

Conducted A/B testing with MOA users testing previous entry points performance to propose design

Gather metrics through data analytics to prove the proposed UX solution success

Applied proposed design to all MOA users

[Outcome]

Increased Optus Eco MAU’s by 400%
Created a reusable component as an effective way to promote products
Increased perceived pertinence of promo tiles by making them more relevant to specific users

[Key Learnings]

When and where matters

Users are a lot more likely to show interest if products are promoted at the right place and time

Simplicity speaks louder

Over-cluttering with highly graphic promotions tends to make users instantly dismiss them, so keeping a simple design can be a much more effective way to deliver a message

Personalisation is key

Users are a lot more likely to interact with a feature when the message is relevant to them
