Let’s Hear YOUR Ideas for upcoming promotions 🤓

Pizzaeh — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 11:46:53 GMT

For current customers on a plan paying less than $30 every 30 days, offer them a $10 credit for six months when the following three requirements are met:

1. They switch to a $30 (or greater) plan.

2. Set-up (turn On) autopay.

3. Plan stays at the $30 (or greater) price for at least 6 months after the plan change.

Community, what say you? 👍 or 👎 whether this idea lives or dies.

Who's the "we"? If you mean the plebecites, TBH, I don't think you've thought it through.

Both the consumer and Public Mobile wins in this transaction. Long term goes to PB. A healthy PB hopefully translates to maintaining the prices.

Let me ask you this, how many times have people posted that they signed up for the $10 plan, but want to switch to the $30 plan for the 6 months credits?

Appreciate the opinion whether it's up or down.

Yes only for the 6 months so then PM is selling a $30 plan for $20 then they go back to the $10

Exactly, consumer Joe/Jane pays an extra $10 per month for at least six months. Some will switch back to a cheaper plan after six months, while some consumers will find the extra minutes/text/data useful and stay on the $30 plan.

Looking at the overall long-term picture, not only the immediate credits.

Save me (the customer) any money is 👍

But public mobile caters basically everything to gaining new business.

The current promotion is not open to current customers. This would be for Public Mobile customers who switch from a plan that is less than $30.

The last time they ran this same promo, was it not also avaialble for existing customers?

@pm-smayer97, you're the one who keeps track of these things, you tell us.

Promos differ all the time. New user promos happen more often than all user promos.

It was for new activations; existing customers switching from the $10 plan, for example, to the $30 plan were not eligible. As a result, they were annoyed. Sure, a current customer could buy and activate a new sim for the $30 plan, but you can understand they wouldn't be happy about that.

I realize that the goal of the promotion, offering it for new activations, is meant to bring customers over from other carriers not part of the Telus family (Telus, Koodo, Public Mobile).

My thought is, by extending this to current customers, PM gets additional revenue (during the 6 months - especially for the current cutomers on the $10 plan) for at least 6 months, and could potentially convert some of those $10 plan customers to the $30 plan long-term after the 6 months are up. With the autopay turned on, and after they get to experience unlimited text/calling and some data, some of those customers may continue on the $30 plan.

I don't know why the offer is not extended to current customers. Perhaps there are additional costs assciated with the marketing/promoting or when customers switch plans, that are greater than the guaranteed additional revenue for the six months, but I guess that's why we're not in the business of running a telecom. *shrugs*

What kind of flippant reply is that? Why are you an oracle with replies like that?

@pm-smayer97 I see it more as factual than flippant. You have started several threads about being on top of new promotions. Also, promos do differ frequently, and more often than not they target new users. I don't see any problem with @stonechucker's reply or oracle team membership.

There is nothing factual about this statement "you're the one who keeps track of these things, you tell us."

That is flippant.... and condescending.

I do not know why anyone thinks that I keep track of promos. I simply came up with a solution to allow anyone to be notified of new promos, announcements, or the ability to follow ANY category of discussions in this forum. I do not commit any promos to memory.

How to get notified of ANY New Promos, Announcements, System Outages, etc (& any others)

And anyone who is an oracle should be more respectful. There is nothing I said that should warrant that kind of response.

Honestly, I was not being flippant. I look at the promos everyday via the Announcements forum, so I don’t keep track of them. I don’t keep records in my inbox, as I don’t subscribe to your list.

Someone who does subscribe to a notification of promos, or any other thing that might be posted to that forum, or any other forum, may indeed keep those, to keep track.

im sorry @pm-smayer97, if. You took it otherwise. No offense was meant.

I appreciate the reply. Sometimes things can get lost in the text translation... no tone, body language, etc. No problem. 😉

P.S. It is not my list... just a tool for anyone to use. 🙂

The $10 credit is great for people who only want to be on a $25 or $30 plan but only have to pay $20 for the next 6 months until they decide which plan they really want after the promotion ends.

Hey @Pizzaeh

@powerg21,

We definitely want to hear your suggestions for the upcoming promo deals. Don`t forget that there are also rewards for refer-a-friend and tenure for Public Mobile customers. Please feel free to add any other thoughts in regard to promos! 🙂

My idea for a promotion would be 2GB autopay bonus for $40+ 3g 30 days plans. Not only would it encourage both preauthorized payments, it would also be one last nudge to get people off voice-only plans, and plans that only include a small amount.

I also suspect that Telus does want people off Public's Fall Promo plans. I believe that such a promotion would be in line with things such as data bonuses being provided at other carriers, and that it would cost Public Mobile very little as customers tend not to use all included plan data.

powerg21 — Thu, 07 Mar 2019 17:22:37 GMT

Instead of offering promotions, change the plans and make it worthwhile to stay with PM. Most of the existing plans offer Unlimited talk and text. You have to work on the data part. Offer BIG data for cheap prices. What attracts people like myself is the amount of data the plans come with. Offer 10G, 20G, 30G etc for under $50. It does not mean people will use that much data but they will be happy to have that much. For example, offer 20G with UL talk and text for $40 and you will get a ton more new clients!

Well if we're throwing in promo ideas...unlimited province-wide talk, unlimited international texting...$10. Uses existing components so nothing to alter. Opens the up-sell to the LD and data add-ons. And heck...if you want...500mb on autopay.
