Healthy snack brand HighKey sent a playful text message teasing their "JUMBO-SIZED" announcement. They blurred out part of the picture to keep their announcement a secret, while still giving subscribers a sneak peek at what was coming. The brand also included a 15% off discount in case subscribers couldn't wait. HighKey then followed via SMS up a couple of days later to officially let subscribers know they could purchase jumbo-sized bags of their popular mini cookies.

It was a simple yet effective change, but by emphasizing the limited-time nature of their offer, they created a greater sense of urgency for customers to shop immediately and take advantage of the deal before it expired.

Certain states have a back-to-school sales tax holiday, when clothing, footwear, backpacks, notebooks, pencils, and other items are all tax-free for a period of time. To help parents, teachers, and students save on new shoes for the year, Shoe Carnival used geo-targeting to remind customers in those states—like Florida—to take advantage of the tax break.
