FRiENDi Brief

confidential
Agency Brief
1. Background/overview
FRiENDi mobile launched the online recharge service in June 2011.The
service provides FRiENDi customers with the convenience of recharging their
accounts whenever and wherever they wish with complete confidence and security.
So far, there was no marketing campaign to support the service. However
and with the FRiENDi new web site and web self-care launching soon we think
it’s a good opportunity to promote the service and increase its awareness and
encourage its usage especially that people in Oman are not familiar with on line
payment and most of them don’t trust this channel.
Both Oman mobile and Nawras have also the online recharge. However
FRiENDi has two exclusive functionalities: The auto and scheduled recharge
features.
2. Offer description
The online recharge service allows customers
to recharge their accounts as many times as they want and wherever they are.
All what they need to do is to register themselves as well as their
credit/debit card details through few simple online steps. Then they will be
able to use the service. FRiENDi online recharge provides customers with three
features:
-
Instant
recharge: The
customer will be asked to choose a predefined recharge amount from the drop
down menu.
-
Scheduled
recharge: The
customer will be asked to choose the amount of the recharge, and the day
required to do the recharge to occur on ( ie. RO 5 on 2nd of every
Month). The recharge will be processed automatically at the specified date.
-
Auto
recharge: The
customer will be asked to choose from the predefined recharge amount from the
drop down menu. Once his credit goes below RO 2, he will be automatically
recharged with the predefined recharge amount he has chosen. For example: a
customer wants to recharge his prepaid account with RO10 every time his balance
falls below RO2. The recharge will be processed automatically when the
condition is met
3. Objectives
- Increase the service awareness and benefits to attract new
users among FRiENDi customers
- Attract post-paid customers from other providers who might
consider switching to FRiENDi mobile once they know that with the auto recharge they will never run out of
credit
4. Target audience
All FRiENDi customers who have
credit/debit card and potential customers who are using their debit credit card
for online payment
5. Period
December 2012
6. Requirements, Media vehicles
- Creative concept for the communication campaign in both
English and Arabic with a full plan execution: Media support mainly Print,
Radio, online and PR
- Budget: 30-40K
