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.

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.
