“LotusFlare has been our technology partner since 2017 and have helped us build an entirely new digital journey for our customers. ARPU has grown by more than 20% with this new app that leverages OTT best practices.” – Head of Consumer Mobile Business, Globe
The Switch app has been downloaded 13 million times since its launch: it has become the main channel for Globe to engage and advertise new offers to its customers.
What was Globe’s initial objective in launching the Switch app?
– Providing prepaid customers with a ‘digital storefront’ that helps them discover new apps,
– Accelerating the transition from free to paid mobile data usage, ultimately raising ARPU and revenues for the operator.
We learned that building a strong customer app that is well-liked by subscribers also has the potential to improve brand perception. It can shift the conversation with customers away from just minutes and megabytes to exciting new video, music and gaming content.
