Snipp Leverages Rewards to Dramatically Reduce Churn for American Multinational Telecommunications Corporation

BETHESDA, MARYLAND--(Marketwired - Oct. 6, 2015) - Snipp Interactive Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SPN) ("Snipp"), an international provider of marketing promotions, rebates and loyalty solutions listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, has implemented a successful rewards program with one of the largest multinational telecommunications corporations in America.

The results of the pilot showed that the Snipp promotion successfully reduced churn by a factor of four, and based on the results, the client is now working with Snipp to expand the use of its platform across their entire subscriber base.

With the influx of choice and competition in the telecom world, customer loyalty initiatives can prove invaluable, and Snipp was pleased to demonstrate the efficacy of its incentive products in this sector for the first time. Focusing on enhancing loyalty among subscribers of their combined service offerings (television, internet and telephone), the company partnered with Snipp to target subsets of their subscriber base that were identified as highly likely to cancel services.

Using Snipp's proprietary SnippRewards rewards platform, a pilot program was developed which targeted specific double (TV/internet) and triple play (TV, internet, telephone) customer subscribers. The company sent an email blast surprising the targeted customers with a reward for being a loyal customer. The email contained a redemption URL along with a code for either 10 Credits (DoublePlay) or 15 Credits (TriplePlay) redeemable against all content types. As mentioned, the campaign resulted in a fourfold reduction in customer churn, a key operating metric for subscription-based businesses.

According to Baris Karadogan, the COO of Snipp Interactive, "With our SnippRewards solution we are able to create targeted and impactful solutions for our clients to incentivize and reward their customers. In particular, we have a slew of very innovative rewards options in the telecom sector that we are very excited about, including a data rewards incentive that is truly unique in the marketplace. We have successfully launched a number of programs in the last few months on these platforms and will continue to develop these solutions to meet the need of the market."
