Target REDperks First Use
Sent May 2015
A promotional email sent to new users of the Target REDperks loyalty program. Users who downloaded the app and signed up for the pilot rewards program received this email, which featured a deep link to the app—a first for the team. The call-to-action button, including its shadow effect, was built using table layouts and text rather than an image. REDperks was a pilot program that later merged into the Cartwheel app.
