I was thinking of offering a birthday special for my past hosts during the month of their birthday. Do any of you do this? If so, what do you offer them? A % discount, free shipping, etc? Maybe I'm being too generous. Maybe just a card would suffice. What's your opinion?
 
I have only a few birthdays noted in my customer list (and I always forget to mention), but I send an email offering a free bottle of caramel or cinnamon sprinkles during their birthday month. It also has a coupon for 10% off an order that month, and a second bottle of sprinkles (the other flavor) if their order is $60 product value after the discount. Nobody's taken me up on it yet.
 
My Mary Kay lady sends me a 10 or 20% coupon around my b-day but I don't do it for my customers.
 
I offer 10% off their order to all my customers/past hosts on my email newsletter list. There's about 275 people on the list and I only have had about 5 take me up on it in 2+ years. They have to email me back with their birthdate (no year :) ) and then they are a member of the birthday club.
 
I have only had 1 person ask to sign up for the birthday club & then didn't even use her extra discount. Oh well! No loss for me then.
 
I posted this elsewhere, but . . .I signed up with birthdayalarm.com. They give you a link for your friends (or, in this case, customers and hosts) to use to enter their birthdays. When someone signs up for my newsletter, I invited them to enter their birthday. There's also a place on my website that gives people the link. Birthday Alarm emails me the first notice of their birthday a week before. The second I get the day before. At that point I email the person a birthday greeting and offer them 10% off anything they order for the next month. It makes people feel special, and it doesn't cost me much.BTW, Birthday Alarm is free.
