PSEG Long Island Increases Enrollment for Paperless Billing by 51,190 Customers

Challenge

PSEG Long Island’s goal was to enroll residential customers in paperless billing to reach conversion goals and reduce billing costs. 

Solution

Questline Digital became a partner to help grow PSEG Long Island’s paperless billing program. With Questline Digital’s recommendations, the energy utility took advantage of various incentives to encourage paperless conversions.

Questline Digital and PSEG Long Island tested smaller incentives, such as gift cards and free LED lightbulbs, given to all customers who signed up. They also gave away large monetary prizes to only select customers, including $1,000 and the chance to win tickets to a major league baseball game.

Results

Through testing of numerous incentives, PSEG Long Island identified what worked best for their target audience and successfully increased paperless billing enrollment by 51,190 customers. The energy utility discovered that tangible, guaranteed incentives drove greater engagement.
