Driving Data Rollover adoption for by.U’s customers

As part of the by.U platform migration, improving feature discoverability and understanding of new offered products as part of an updated launch value prop was critical within a complex, modular telco offering.

This case focuses on simplifying the awareness layer of power-up products and driving Rollover adoption.

Overview

This initiative focused on improving how users discover and understand new “Power-Up” data packages within the by.U app.

The experience follows a three-stage funnel:
Awareness → Consideration → Purchase

Success metric:
Increase user understanding → consideration → conversion of these new Power-up packages

Approach

Iteration 1: Broad Exposure

Initial exploration introduced multiple power-up data packages (Rollover, No Expiry plans, Super Saver, Hourly packages). We did this by exposing all power-ups upfront to educate users.

What we tested:

  • Can users distinguish between the different power-up products?

  • Can users identify which to choose?

Results:

  • Low comprehension rate → Users unclear how power-ups differ

  • Misinterpreted product model → Assumed packages were related/bundled

  • High cognitive load → Too many options at entry point

  • Low decision confidence → Hesitation to proceed to purchase

👉 Insight: More exposure ≠ better understanding

👉 Impact: Drop-off risk at awareness → weak conversion downstream

Strategic Pivot: Focus & Simplify

We shifted from “feature set completeness” → “decision clarity”

Key decisions:

  • Prioritise Rollover as primary product with alignment from our business team and the client

  • Defer other power-ups to later stages

  • Design for progressive disclosure

Why data Rollover (data-backed):

  • Highest user resonance in FGD

  • Strongest perceived value (unused data recovery)

  • Highest potential conversion leverage

👉 Hypothesis: Reducing options will increase comprehension and decision speed

Iteration 2: Rollover as a Champion

We redesigned the flow to optimise for clarity and action:

  • Dedicated awareness entry point

  • Clear benefit-first messaging

  • Simplified information hierarchy

  • In-category comparison (within Rollover only)

  • Improved CTA visibility and placement

  • Leveraged existing catalog for scalability

Testing Goal

Measure improvement across:

  • Findability → Can users locate Rollover easily?

  • Comprehension → Do users understand how these products work?

  • Decision readiness → Are users willing to purchase?

Outcome

Quantitative

  • SEQ: 6.8 / 7 (High usability)
    → Users found the flow easy to complete

  • Task success: High
    → Majority completed key journey without assistance

Qualitative (Behavioural Signals)

Post-iteration users were able to:

  • ✅ Accurately explain how Rollover works

  • ✅ Identify key benefits (no wasted data, flexibility)

  • ✅ Compare packages and select confidently

  • ✅ Show stronger purchase intent signals

Impact (Framed for Product)

  • ↓ Cognitive Load → Fewer choices, clearer path

  • ↑ Feature Comprehension → Correct mental model formed

  • ↑ Decision Confidence → Reduced hesitation

  • ↑ Conversion Readiness → Stronger progression to purchase

👉 Net effect: Improved Awareness → Consideration conversion quality

Reflection

Initial approach optimized for coverage, but not clarity.

By narrowing focus to a single, high-value product, we aligned the experience with how users actually make decisions:

→ Start with value
→ Build understanding
→ Enable comparison
→ Drive action

Clarity reduces friction. Reduced friction improves conversion.
