Tactic 2: Make an Offer They Can’t Refuse

Incentives aren’t bribes, they’re bridges.

The right incentive reduces hesitation and psychological barriers, making paperless billing feel rewarding rather than risky.

High-impact approaches include:

  • Small bill credits that deliver immediate value.
  • Low-commitment trials, such as a paperless trial period with the safety net of a mailed bill.
  • Values-based incentives, including sustainability initiatives or community giving that align with customer priorities (e.g., tree planting for every enrollment during Earth Month or donations to food banks during the holidays).

Why this works: Incentives remove mental barriers and show customers that they are valued, encouraging more people to make the switch and stay engaged. Consider values-based incentives that align with customer priorities, including sustainability initiatives or community giving.
