Wallet Pass Marketing Playbook

Get your brand onto customers’ phones in 2 days. They add your pass to Apple/Google Wallet. You send short, timely lock-screen nudges that lead back to a clear offer or action—no app required.

Chapter 1 of 120%

1) Why Wallet Passes Work Now

Your customers don’t want another app. A wallet pass lives where they already are—Apple/Google Wallet—so the “install” is a tap, not a project. Once saved, you have a lightweight presence on their phone and a respectful way to nudge them on the lock screen.

Keep the promise tiny: open the pass → tap the link. Tiny, consistent actions beat occasional big campaigns. Short copy. Clear value. Predictable timing. That’s the habit loop you’re building.

“I’ve seen a lot of good ideas about marketing, but nothing I’ve ever had access to matches wallet pass marketing, FULL STOP.” — S. Warren, U.S. Army Veteran Business Owner

2) What You’ll Launch in 2 Days

  • Branded pass: your logo, colors, business name, and a short tagline.
  • Back-of-pass links: site/menu/contact plus one dynamic link you can change anytime (today’s offer, booking, etc.).
  • Save-to-Wallet entry points: a button on your site, a QR at the counter, and a link in email/SMS.
  • Cadence: start with one lock-screen notification per week, same day/time, to build a rhythm.

Your only goal at first: get the open. The dynamic link does the rest.

3) Quick-Start Setup (Checklist)

  • Approve pass design (logo, brand hex, short tagline).
  • Provide 2–3 static links (site/menu/contact) + 1 dynamic link destination.
  • Choose your weekly push time (e.g., Thu 9:30 AM) + draft 4 short messages.
  • Place “Add to Apple/Google Wallet” on your site; print a QR for your counter/menus.
  • Announce via email + social: “Add our pass to get this week’s perk.”
  • Teach staff a one-liner: “Want weekly specials on your lock screen? Scan to add our pass.”

4) Distribution That Actually Gets Saves

On Your Site

  • Top-nav button: “Add to Wallet.”
  • Homepage hero + footer repeat.
  • Menu/Order/Booking pages: add the same button.

In-Person & Messaging

  • Counter QR with 5-word benefit (“Weekly Perks → Add Pass”).
  • Receipt/email footer link.
  • SMS link for regulars and members.

Rule of thumb: if they can transact, they can add. Put the invite there.

5) Notification Strategy (One per Week to Start)

Choose a consistent day/time your audience will learn to expect. Keep it short (6–11 words) and front-load the hook. The purpose of the message is to get an open. The purpose of the pass is to get a tap on your dynamic link.

  • Cadence: 1×/week to start; add a second only if engagement rises.
  • Timing: 60–90 minutes before the action you want (lunch, appointment, after-work, weekend prep).
  • Rotation: update your dynamic link weekly—keep the reason to tap fresh.

6) Campaign Library by Industry

9) Metrics That Matter (Simple Weekly Scorecard)

  • Saves: total & new this week.
  • Opens near push time: proxy for attention earned.
  • Dynamic link taps: CTR on the back-of-pass link.
  • Conversions on push days: redemptions, bookings, or revenue proxy.

If taps dip, your link is stale. If opens dip, your message is vague. Fix one lever at a time.

10) Multi-Location & Agency Rollouts

  • Shared creative, local timing offsets.
  • Location tags in your reporting spreadsheet.
  • Quarterly refresh rhythm (design, copy, offers).
  • Standard staff scripts + QR assets per store.

Start with 3 pilot locations, confirm your weekly scorecard moves, then scale across the map.

11) Troubleshooting & Guardrails

  • Quiet hours: respect mornings/late nights.
  • Fatigue: if engagement drops, skip a week and relaunch with a strong hook.
  • Stale links: rotate weekly; preview on device.
  • Short copy only: 6–11 words wins. Hook first.
  • Privacy: no sensitive personal data in messages.
