OUR APPROACH
A market scan and survey allowed us to understand the playing field and uncover the gaps. We determined FortisBC’s user personas and specific content needs through extensive research.
We architected the layout to marry user and printing requirements for the physical bill and crafted the online experience. Focus groups helped us zero in on the look and feel that delivered the most connection and sense of ‘wow’.
This curated system of bill designs across print, web, mobile and email formats – 32 bill variations in total – enabled FortisBC to provide clear information relevant to its varied audiences on payments and energy use and to encourage smart energy choices. The new bill designs provided the right information to the right person, solidifying FortisBC’s position as a provider who cares.
FortisBC earned Chartwell’s Bronze Billing and Payment Programs Award for its Beyond the Bill program. The new designs have improved a key contact center performance indicator and effectively achieved the objective of providing a fresh and exceptional billing experience for all its customers.
