Australian TV and movie streaming and DVD rental service says the partnership will help improve customer engagement
Movie and TV streaming and DVD rental service, Quickflix, has teamed up with Rewardle to use the customer loyalty program provider’s digital platform to drive customer acquisition and engagement.
Under the partnership, Rewardle will integrate special offers from Quickflix streaming as member rewards members for redemption via its platform. In a statement, the companies said the partnership is aimed at driving customer take-up and engagement for both parties.
Rewardle claims to have more than 1 million members and 4000 local businesses Australia-wide signed up to its services, including cafes, grocery stores, newsagencies and gyms. The company recently added support for wearable devices to its loyalty program platform.
Quickflix’s fresh push for customer awareness and uptake comes as streaming services across Australia struggle to retain share following the local launch of US-based provider, Netflix, on 31 March.
“Rewardle is enjoying rapid growth and represents an exciting new channel to reach out target audience,”Quickflix CEO, Stephen Langsford, said. He noted a number of recent steps by Quickflix to improve its offering, including a reseller partnership with Foxtel’s Presto service to increase subscription streaming content, as well as work on a new user interface due out in coming months.
“The next exciting phase is growing our customer base through innovative acquisition marketing and Rewardle will assist in that.”
ASX-listed Quickflix raised $775,000 in capital in May to use both as working capital as well as to improve streaming services. The company claimed to have 123,553 paying customers as at 31 March 2015 and to be streaming one million hours a month.
Rewardle managing director, Ruwan Weerasooriya, said movie and TV streaming entertainment provides a high-value member reward and incentive.
“It is an exciting new category for Rewardle to participate in and we are delighted to be partnering with Quickflix, which shares our spirit for innovation and being at the forefront in driving new consumer behaviour,” he said.
The pair said they are also looking to expand collaboration further.
In April, Quickflix started selling gift cards through retail outlets including Big W, Coles, Target, Australia Post and Myer to help further customer acquisition. The cards will also be available in Officeworks from 22 June.

Welcome to Launch Marketing Council’s new 3-part series focused on unlocking the secrets of launching brands, products and service by exploring real-life examples from Australia’s marketing elite, in conjunction with the independent agency Five by Five Global.
In early 2020, I had the pleasure of staying at the newly opened Fullerton Hotel in Sydney. It was on this trip I first became aware of the Fullerton’s commitment to brand storytelling.
If you’ve been around advertising long enough, you’ve probably seen (or written) a slide which says: “They won’t remember what you say, they’ll remember how you made them feel.” But it’s wrong. Our understanding of how emotion is used in advertising has been ill informed and poorly applied.
The launch of a new brand, or indeed a rebrand, is a transformation to be greeted with fanfare. So why is it that once the brand has launched, the brand execution phase can also be the moment at which you kill its creativity?
Algorithms that can make sense of unstructured data is the future. It's great to see experts in the field getting together to discuss AI.
