Why growth gets expensive

Marketing buys attention. It rarely buys customers who stay.

A growing business needs attention, and ads, influencers and events are good at it. Turning that attention into customers who act, week after week, is the hard part.

  1. Ads buy a moment

    Someone sees it, maybe clicks. Next month, the spending starts again from zero.

  2. Influencers and events buy awareness

    People hear your name. Far fewer become customers who act.

  3. Cash bonuses attract bonus hunters

    Cash can be withdrawn, so fake accounts sign up, take it and leave.

What customers already value

Your customers already buy mobile data. It runs their lives.

Work, payments, family, entertainment and getting around all depend on it. It is easy to value, already in the budget and needed again next week. And unlike cash, it can’t be withdrawn.

What Aura makes possible

Your data plan. Your rules. Your customers.

Launch a mobile data plan with your name on it. Customers join with the first step that matters, and keep the plan by coming back each week. You pay for data only when they act.

You decide

  • The action that starts the plan, and the habit that keeps it
  • How much data, and how often it arrives: daily, weekly or monthly
  • Who can join, the limits and the total budget
  • Your plan’s name, and your brand on it

Aura runs the rest

  • Delivery on whichever network each customer uses
  • Every plan moment, from welcome to renewal
  • Bonus-hunter checks on every reward
  • The comparison group and the result
  • Your Lender

    Your 6GB plan

A plan, not a bonus

A bonus creates a moment. A plan kept every week creates a habit.

1.5GB this week. Another 1.5GB next week. One plan covers acquisition, engagement and retention: the customer who joins for this week’s data comes back next week to keep it.

A one-off sign-up bonus

  2. Week 2Nothing
  3. Week 3Nothing
  4. Week 4Nothing

A moment. Once it is withdrawn, nothing brings the customer back, and bonus hunters can take it and leave.

A plan kept by acting: switch a week off to see what happens

Momentum: the design inside every plan

It looks like a data plan. It works like a habit.

Momentum is our name for the design inside every Aura plan that turns one valuable action into a weekly habit. Each ingredient is a choice made on purpose.

  1. Owned, not earned

    “My 6GB plan from Your Lender.”

    People protect what they own. A reward is collected and forgotten.

  2. Starts at first value

    The plan begins the moment they first get what they came for.

    Keeping customers starts where value starts, not at the download.

  3. A weekly rhythm

    1.5GB this week. 1.5GB next week.

    A rhythm turns one action into a habit.

  4. The nudge before the loss

    “Your plan cancels on Sunday.”

    The fear of losing something moves people more than the hope of winning.

  5. A plan that grows

    Three months in, it gets bigger.

    Progress you can see keeps you going.

  6. Proof built in

    Nothing. This one is for you.

    Every plan is measured against customers who did not get it.

Who it is for

One plan, for any business where one action earns more than the data.

Agent and merchant networks and lenders run their own plans. Banks and large fintechs, savings apps among them, buy a managed programme.

Agent networks

Win agents who go live quickly and stay busy on your terminals. Agents pay for the data their work runs on, reportedly up to ₦30,000 a month (TechCabal, June 2025), so a plan that covers it is worth real money to them.

Who it is for
New agents in their first weeks, and agents whose transactions have slowed.
What starts the plan
The first 20 transactions on a new terminal.
What keeps it
50 transactions every week.
The plan
3.5GB a week on the line the terminal or phone uses. About ₦6,000 a month on MTN.
How it is measured
Agents active each week and transactions per agent, against agents who were not offered the plan, and the cost of each extra active agent.

Proof built in

Every plan shows what it drove, and what each action cost.

Your first screen, and the report you take to your board, open on the result, measured against customers who did not get the plan. Aura reports the numbers. You decide whether they beat your other channels.

  • Extra actions

    Did the plan drive the action? Customers offered the plan against the comparison group, week by week.

  • Cost per action

    Data spent, divided by the actions of customers holding a plan.

  • Cost per extra action

    Data spent, divided by the actions the plan caused. The number to set beside your other channels.

  • Cost per new customer

    What the first week of data cost for each new customer, by where they came from.

  • Customers kept

    The share still holding the plan in weeks 4, 8 and 12, against the comparison group.

  • Your other channels

    What a customer costs you today from ads, influencers or cash bonuses, which you type in, shown beside it.

Not counted as success

  • Gigabytes given out
  • Sign-ups that never act
  • Clicks and opens

Test it on your next campaign: run the same ad with and without the plan offer, and compare what each new customer cost.

Questions

What growing businesses ask first.

All questions, by team

What does Aura do?

Aura lets your business launch its own mobile data plan, which customers keep by doing what grows your business: repaying on time, transacting on your terminal, saving every week. You win more customers from the same marketing budget, and keep them coming back.

You choose the plan and the actions that keep it. Aura delivers the data on whichever network each customer uses, and you pay for data only when they act.

Does it replace our ads and influencers?

No. Ads, influencers and events tell people about you. A data plan turns more of that attention into customers who act, and keeps them coming back. It takes a slice of your marketing budget, not all of it.

To see what the plan adds, run the same ad with and without the plan offer and compare what each new customer cost.

Why mobile data, and not a cash bonus?

Cash can reward the same actions at the same moments, but cash can be withdrawn, so fake accounts pay. Bonus hunters sign up, take the money and leave.

Data can’t be withdrawn. At most it can be shared to another phone on the same network, within daily limits, so a fake account gains almost nothing. Real customers use it every day, for work, family, payments and getting around.

Could we build this ourselves?

Your team can send data in a day. Knowing what makes customers come back took three years and over ₦1 billion at PressOne Africa, where Aura’s method comes from.

PressOne lost 80% of its new customers within three months, and discounts, credits, automations and advertising didn’t fix it. Momentum is our name for what it learned: the design inside every Aura plan that turns one valuable action into a weekly habit.

Who decides the rules?

You do. You choose the action that starts the plan, the habit that keeps it, how much data and how often it arrives, who can join, and the limits. Aura delivers the plan and keeps customers posted at every moment.

What does it cost?

A platform plan, plus the data your customers keep. Growth is ₦200,000 a month and Scale ₦1,000,000 a month, billed quarterly, or yearly with two months free. Banks and large businesses agree Enterprise terms with us.

Data is charged at each network’s own price, with nothing added, and only when a customer acts.

What does our team need to build?

Very little. Your systems send Aura each action as it happens, through the API or a file upload, with your customer ID and the customer’s phone number. Aura checks it against your plan, delivers the data and tells your systems what happened.

You can test everything in a sandbox before going live.

Start with one action. Grow it into a habit.

Tell us the action you want more of. We will help you size a first plan, and show you what it needs to be worth.
