		<description><![CDATA[I think Passbook is a great idea. Apple is always ahead of the curve, and often it takes other&#039;s time to understand how innovative it is. Because Passbook is native and included on the iPhone, it will slowly show it&#039;s value. Right now, most people don&#039;t understand it, but soon, e-coupons and passes will surpass redemption of paper ones. Instead of clipping Sunday coupons, you&#039;ll save them in Passbook. I envision a time when you can even scan them from the Sunday paper into Passbook. This will save paper and encourage spending into the economy. Wait, you&#039;ll see, it will happen. Businesses will see the value and start utilizing it. Google, Samsung, Android will all copy Apple, and the Passbook concept will dominate the coupon and ticketing industry. Eventually, Apple and the rest will figure out a way to take a bite out of this billion dollar redemption industry.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Appsolutely :-) Our clients are distributing Passbook Passes via multiple channels (web (including social media), email marketing, SMS marketing, traditional print, from app etc..). And in many cases finding the most effective channel NOT via apps. Indeed what we find is that once someone Adds a Pass to Passbook they are more likely to then download the associated app. In other cases, smaller business are finding that they don&#039;t need to waste time and money on an app as the Pass effectively operates like a mini app and is totally adequate for their needs.

For any business wanting to easily create, distribute and manage Passbook Passes take a look at PassKit.com (there are also links to video tutorials and case studies).  We provide end to end set of tools (Pass creation, Pass use/redemption tools, customisable behavioural analytics, and integration tools (for example integrating into your existing Point of sale system).
