Key Learnings & Recommendation

Program targets (1 200 000 entries) were too

optimistic/ over-estimated
Free of charge SMS (instant win mechanics) is one of the key attractions, making enter easier for SOB
Optimal length of retention-aimed program is close to 12-15 weeks (3-4 mnths); shorter then that working towards only trial
RECOMMENDATION:
Exploit current promo mechanics further considering key learnings and research findings
Period of the program 3 months to ensure continuous retention and conversion
Free SMS as the key registration channel
Visual Execution should be perfect and in-line with Image communication
