Email fatigue is real. App installs are slow. And digital ads often get scrolled past. But mobile wallet campaigns offer something better—direct, persistent access to your audience through their Apple Wallet or Google Wallet.

With one tap, a customer can save a loyalty card, digital coupon, or event pass. From there, brands can deliver personalized updates that land directly on the lock screen—without needing to send another email or build another app.

Mobile wallet campaigns are fast to launch, easy to scale, and high-performing across industries—from retail to hospitality to events.

Let’s explore five campaign types that are proven to work.

1. Loyalty Campaigns: Make Loyalty Cards Actually Work

Loyalty programs often fail because customers forget they signed up. Mobile wallet loyalty campaigns fix that by turning traditional loyalty cards into dynamic, always-on engagement tools.

When a customer adds a loyalty card to their mobile wallet, it becomes a live channel for updates: reward point balances, tier changes, and exclusive offers can be pushed straight to the lock screen. No app required.

With Badge: Brands can design and automate mobile wallet loyalty campaigns using ready-made templates—making it simple to launch or modernize a loyalty rewards program that actually drives repeat visits and purchases.

2. Offer Campaigns: Smarter Digital Coupons That Convert

Mobile wallet offers are a more effective version of digital coupons. Instead of being forgotten in inboxes or printed at checkout, offers saved to the wallet stay visible—and update in real time.

Use cases include:

• Geo-triggered coupons when a customer is near a store

• Expiring weekend offers that update barcode and terms automatically

• Personalized “we miss you” incentives based on inactivity

With Badge: You can run digital coupon campaigns that update the same wallet pass with new offers—no need to issue a new one each time. Trigger notifications based on time, behavior, or location for high-impact results.

3. Event Campaigns: Ditch the PDFs for a Better Digital Ticket

The days of emailing PDFs and printed passes are over. With mobile wallet event campaigns, you can issue a digital ticket that’s easy to save and update—ideal for festivals, concerts, conferences, and venue-based experiences.

Each digital ticket includes real-time event info, attendee details, entry codes, and lock screen notifications. These can be used for last-minute updates, reminders, or to drive attendance and engagement at nearby experiences like concession stands, merch tables, or partner activations.

With Badge: Event campaigns support barcode updates, attendee personalization, group check-ins, and session alerts—all managed through a single pass. No app. No inbox clutter. Just seamless access and communication.

4. Membership Campaigns: Turn Your Membership Program Into a Mobile Experience

Running a membership program? Mobile wallet passes make it easier for members to access benefits—and for brands to keep them engaged.

Whether you're offering monthly perks, VIP access, or loyalty tier upgrades, these wallet-based passes can display membership status and trigger updates like:

• “Your benefits have refreshed”

• “New perks unlocked for Gold members”

• “Renew now to keep your rewards”

With Badge: You can automate your membership program with time-based or behavior-based triggers, send renewal reminders, and push content based on member tier—all without building a new app.

5. Custom Campaigns: For Everything Else That Doesn’t Fit the Mold

Some brands need flexibility beyond loyalty, offers, or tickets. That’s where custom mobile wallet campaigns come in.

Whether it’s pushing a shift schedule to an employee, sending real-time alerts for travel or logistics, or embedding wallet features, your already robust and dynamic SaaS platform custom campaigns allow you to adapt the wallet to your unique workflow.

With Badge: Developers can trigger pass updates through API calls, link wallet passes to real-time data sources, and configure push notifications to fire at exactly the right time. Perfect for complex business logic or ecosystem integrations.
