Business Goal

The ENTERTAINER sought to maximize the impact of its Visa partnership by driving activations and redemptions within the Visa Rewards App. The brand needed a solution to:

  • Enhance customer engagement and personalize offers to its diverse customer base.
  • Achieve ambitious growth targets set with Visa for activations and redemptions.
  • Optimize campaign efficiency while managing complex segmentation and personalization strategies across various regions and bank partnerships.
  • Ensuring the ongoing retention of existing users and fostering a habit of repeat app usage

    Customer Lifecycle Personalization and Optimization

    The ENTERTAINER spearheaded the personalization and optimization of the entire customer lifecycle within the Visa Rewards App by leveraging MoEngage’s Customer Data and Engagement Platform, covering:

  • Registration and Onboarding: Personalized the initial onboarding with targeted offers based on early customer interactions, significantly boosting engagement from day one. An example of this is the onboarding campaign that The Entertainer ran. Upon registration, users were enrolled in the onboarding journey through MoEngage’s Flows. The journey used behavioral triggers to serve personalized nudges.

    Another example is the Post-first Redemption campaign. After a user’s first redemption, a follow-up campaign was triggered to encourage a second action within 72 hours. The messaging used personalization (merchant type, location, Visa tier) and highlighted the ā€œmost redeemedā€ offers.

  • Monthly Communications: Facilitated themed monthly campaigns, transitioning towards dynamic content delivery via API for efficient and personalized updates on offers and events.
  • Zero Redeemers and Dormant Users: Enabled precise identification and re-engagement of inactive users (customers who haven't redeemed in 60 days) through targeted pushes and compelling offers, preventing churn.

    A Multi-Layered Segmentation Engine

    At the heart of The ENTERTAINER and Visa's success lies its sophisticated, multi-layered segmentation strategy. The brand meticulously segments its customer base into numerous dynamic cohorts, ensuring every campaign is precisely targeted and relevant. This includes:

  • Tier-Based Personalization: Recognizing that not all offers resonate with every customer, The ENTERTAINER segments customers based on their VISA tiers, such as Platinum, Signature, and Premium. This ensures that only relevant, exclusive offers are presented to the appropriate cardholders, maximizing engagement and offer redemption.
  • Hyper-Local Relevance: To deliver truly impactful experiences, the brand also precisely segments app users by region, aligning offers and communications with what's available and popular in specific geographical areas. This hyper-localization ensures that customers receive timely notifications about deals right in their vicinity.
  • Behavioral Intelligence: Diving deep into user preferences, The ENTERTAINER also creates segments based on comprehensive customer behavior. This includes analyzing past purchase history, offers viewed, and product affinity, allowing them to anticipate needs and proactively recommend experiences users are most likely to enjoy.

    Strategic Campaign Timing and AI-Driven Newsletters

    Beyond detailed segmentation, The ENTERTAINER meticulously optimized campaign timing with strategic time-of-day deployments for maximum customer receptiveness and immediate conversions. They understood that the 'when' is just as critical as the 'what.' This strategic initiative ensured their messages cut through the noise, driving immediate action and higher conversion rates by reaching customers exactly when they are most likely to act. An example of this is the Flavours of the World campaign, where an A/B test comparing a human-written vs AI-generated content led to a 106.28% increase in redemptions, from 4,778 to 5,078 in just 10 days.

    Furthermore, The ENTERTAINER excels in maintaining consistent, high-value communication through their monthly newsletters. These are highly thematic and tailored to specific regions, reflecting cultural nuances and timely events, such as offers on Iftars during the Ramadan month for the GCC region. This personalized content, delivered at scale, is powered by Merlin AI, MoEngage's generative AI engine. Merlin AI crafts diverse, engaging newsletters, saving the team hours and ensuring a consistent brand voice.

    Some of the monthly newsletters that performed really well are the Ramadan ones. Regionally personalized Ramadan newsletters highlighted Iftar buffets and dining deals in key cities across the GCC region. This campaign saw the highest open rates of the year, i.e., 62%, and a spike in redemptions during week 2 of Ramadan.


    This holistic use of segmentation, trigger pushes, timing, and AI-driven content empowers The ENTERTAINER to engage customers with unparalleled precision, driving loyalty and significant business growth.
