  • Set a budget that you intend to use for this feature. Send an email to support@echomobile.org with the subject “Use of Incentive Feature” and include your use case and the budget for the estimated number of people you intend to reward using this feature.  This is to help us advice on optimal way of setting this up.

Note that in some cases, where this airtime reward is publicized, members of the public may take advantage as they can easily opt in given the information and take advantage of the airtime incentive.

Mpesa Incentive Payments

Incentives can also be offered via M-PESA top up. How this works on the contact side is that  once a respondent completes a survey, they will receive a message from M-PESA with a debited amount to their M-PESA account.

Set a completion limit for the quiz according to the incentive budget you would have set.
