Macy’s announced that it will participate in the launch of Facebook Deals which will offer special discounts when customers check in using Facebook Places. The effort will launch November 4 and be redeemable at Macy’s stores in the continental United States through November 14.
Facebook Places gives people the power to easily share where they are with friends on Facebook, find friends who are nearby, discover new places, and now with Deals, take advantage of special offers by checking in.
“With a reach that is 500 million users strong, the power and influence of Facebook today is undeniable,” said Martine Reardon, Macy’s Executive Vice President of Marketing and Advertising. “As we continue to aggressively pursue opportunities to reinforce Macy’s leadership position within the dynamic social media and location-based movements, the chance to be a part of this launch with Facebook is an obvious win. Not only is it a new way for customers to engage with our brand, but we can thank them for doing so immediately with a special offer they can use while still in our store.”
When customers check in to Facebook Places from a Macy’s location, they will get a pop-up yellow icon that will include an offer for 20 percent off most apparel, accessories, jewelry and select home items or 10 percent off electrics/electronics, furniture and mattresses.
