AIS opens up app strategy to attract new normal customers with insights Turning myAIS into a brand new friendly app with lifestyle privileges for every day

17 August 2020: As Thai consumers have shifted their behaviors to go online increasingly, myAIS App has become a vital channel regularly used by AIS and AIS Fibre customers. From the first year of launch until now, the app has been downloaded by over 16 million subscribers, with over 5.5 million active users per month currently. The proportion of privileges usage on myAIS App has tripled, and AIS Points redemption has quadrupled from last year. This has led to a key update of myAIS App to version "X" with better insights from maximal understanding of customers. This version has been upgraded to be an Everyday Lifestyle Application covering all the bases with the concept, "Personalized to Delight." Easy-to-access and convenient services, and privileges which can be applied for better value in every day, have made the app the number one channel which customers accept and trust the most.

Bussaya Satirapipatkul, Head of Customer & Service Management at AIS noted, "Throughout its life, myAIS App has been continuously developed into an app which customers use regularly to bring them convenience anywhere and anytime. The development of this latest version is a significant upgrade. Studies of customers' behavior show that online channels have been normalized with consistent use for shopping, ordering food, or making financial transactions. It has now been proven that anyone can use the app, which caters to lifestyles in the age of New Normal. We have developed this latest version of myAIS App with the concept of Everyday Lifestyle Application. The user interface has been improved to better fit with people's lifestyles, while myAIS App is now a lot smaller, to save on smartphone storage space. Functions have also been developed with better customer insight, offering packages which match customers' service usage, and special offers for customers to follow, giving them special privileges every day."
