The INKEY List UK engaged subscribers with a question that’s asked all Halloween night: Trick or treat? They used two-way texts to let their subscribers choose if they wanted a trick or if they deserved a treat. It was a great way to create an air of mystery and put subscribers in charge of what kind of reward they got back from the brand.
