New in marketing:
Snapchat introduces wearable Snapcodes
You may have heard of Snapchat’s Spectacles, camera sunglasses that allowed users to capture their everyday experiences. Now, Snapchat and Coach have partnered up to introduce wearable Sanpcodes in the form of stylish pins. According to AdWeek, it’s the first time a brand has created a product with the technology embedded in it. To get one of the free, limited-edition pins, Snapchat users simply complete a quiz and head to one of 20 Coach stores across the country to pick up their pin. Scanning the Snapcode allows Snapchat users to play a game based on Coach’s holiday video campaign. The campaign is intended to drive more in-store visits to Coach’s stores.
