. It will aim to attract price-sensitive customers with its all-encompassing discount and then go hard on the tactic at the heart of all bundling offerings: cross-selling.If the company can bring existing subscribers to Optus Sport – and access to one of the most popular sporting competitions in the world – over to non-Optus services, partners will stay involved and presumably others will join the program. In turn, that will lead to growth for Optus.
