Note: since we made this video, the Simple Saver pack has got a new look and name. You'll now find 'Staying Power' in the Shop instead.

“So, you’re a Powershop customer, and you’re loving it. You have the ability to buy discounted power through our monthly Staying Power and our other specials, you can buy discounted power through our Future Packs and keep track of your usage through our handy mobile app.

But, do you know what would make being a Powershop customer even better?

Getting your mates to pay your power bill.

I’ll let you in on a little secret, it’s called Switch Your Mates.

Here’s how it works. For every friend you get to successfully switch over to Powershop, not only will they score an awesome power credit as a welcome, for your troubles, you’ll get some too!

Hi I’m Ben and i’m here to help you convince your mates to ditch their old electricity company and get all the great control and service that Powershop is famous for.

All you need to remember is ‘DEAL’

The ‘D’ is for delighted, which is exactly how they’ll feel when they see how much money they’re saving.

The ‘E’ is for everywhere, which is where they can purchase power and monitor usage through our mobile app, putting the power in your pocket.

The ‘A’ is for our awesome Special Powerpacks, which provide discounted power to help you save. There’s normally three or four of these a month, often themed around what’s going on in the world.

Last but not least, “L’ – leave it to us. All we need is a few details and we’ll take care of the rest.

So, ready to start convincing your friends? There are two easy ways you can get your mates to switch to Powershop.

You can invite your friends via Facebook, Twitter, text or email by copying the customised link…

…that you can find by navigating to the bottom of the Balance page and clicking on the Switch Your Mates banner or by heading to the Switch Your Mates tab under the My property heading on the mobile app.

You can also enter their email address and send them a personalised email, with all of the reasons why they should make the switch.
