Neiman Marcus Launches Its First Interactive Mobile Challenge With SCVNGR

Neiman Marcus announced today its first ever interactive mobile challenge with SCVNGR, the social game all about going places, completing challenges and earning rewards. The promotion runs from March 17 through April 10th, 2011 at all 41 Neiman Marcus locations.

The SCVNGR mobile challenge works with the following few steps:
Download the FREE SCVNGR app at the Android Market or the Apple App Store onto a Smartphone.

Upon downloading the SCVNGR app customers will be asked a series of questions that can only be answered by completing interactive tasks within a full-line Neiman Marcus store.

The SCVNGR mobile challenge is divided into three distinctive tiers, after successful completion of each tier the customer is rewarded with a gift from the Neiman Marcus store.

A customer may win up to two gifts and a chance to win a $2,500 shopping spree at Neiman Marcus. Rewards include a makeover at the le Metier de Beaute counter and a special gift.

"We are delighted to introduce this new mobile challenge and are excited about engaging our customer in-store. The partnership with SCVNGR is a sample of the mobile and digital based customer programs we hope to extend in the future," said Wanda Gierhart, Chief Marketing Officer, Neiman Marcus Group.

The interactive SCVNGR game debuts during Neiman Marcus' Big Night Out -- an event designed to offer looks from Dress Collections for prom, spring formals, and every celebration on your spring social calendar.

"This partnership is a great example of how a luxury brand like Neiman Marcus can be an innovative leader in the retail industry by leveraging SCVNGR's social game layer," said Chris Mahl, SVP and Chief Brand Alchemist at SCVNGR. "The 'Big Night Out' campaign creates stronger community engagement and a memorable shopping experience for customers."
