Retail SMS Marketing Campaign Uses Mobile Passbook

Bloomingdale's

While there are many retailers using text message marketing, Bloomingdales’ has decided that they’re going to go above and beyond just sending a standard text message to their customers. In one of the retailer’s most recent text messages, they’ve started to use a Passbook link, which gives customers the ability to store the promotion within their Passbook application on their iPhone.

You can see Bloomingdale’s most recent text message below, which was sent to the retailer’s SMS subscribers. The text message advertises a private sale, in which SMS subscribers can take $25 off almost every $100 they spend, up to $400. Pretty good deal!
