Victoria’s Secret PINK has positioned its mobile application as a central hub for exclusive deals, member-only perks, and introductory offers for its target demographic of college-aged women and teen girls. According to a press release shared with Mobile Marketer, the brand revamped its loyalty program and mobile app to deliver a more engaging brand experience, featuring a fresh user experience for easier navigation, access to special deals, first looks at new products, in-app games, and member-only shopping events. The Pink Nation app and loyalty program are free to join for both iOS and Android users.
New registrants who download the app and join Pink Nation can expect a special offer. One specific offer identified in the source material provides an incentive for new members: an offer for any item free with a $25 purchase. To access this offer, users must have an existing Victoria’s Secret account before signing in to the app. Once the app is downloaded and the user joins Pink Nation by entering their email and password, the offer is accessible under the "offers" or "members only" section. This specific offer was valid through October 22nd, though the brand generally issues new offers to registrants each month. The offer can be redeemed either in-store or online.
The application serves as a digital extension of the brand’s loyalty initiatives. Members of VS & PINK Rewards earn points with every purchase, which convert into perks such as free shipping and top-tier deals. The app also provides access to the "Community," a space designed for users to create, connect, and get inspired. Additional features include the ability to find local stores, explore same-day delivery and in-store pickup options, and view "just-for-you" content such as fun quizzes and behind-the-scenes campaign videos.
Birthday rewards represent another avenue for members to receive value. While specific amounts can vary, rewards typically range from $10 to $15. Credit card holders who spend $750 or more annually may receive a $15 reward. Additionally, the Victoria’s Secret Angel Card offers a $10 credit towards a purchase on the cardholder's birthday. The brand also offers a standard $5 birthday coupon or reward.
Beyond digital offers, the brand utilizes the app to connect consumers with Campus Reps who serve as brand ambassadors at more than 100 U.S. universities. To promote the mobile loyalty initiative, the brand has hosted events such as concerts and pop-up activations. Consumers are encouraged to manage their accounts and track orders through the app, as well as stay updated on sales, offers, and new collections.
