Overview
The Birthday Program helps you celebrate your clients while encouraging repeat visits. Peach Suite Pro can assist you in sending birthday greetings, promotional offers, or special rewards to eligible clients using SMS and email.
A thoughtful birthday message is one of the simplest and most effective ways to strengthen client relationships and increase client retention.
How the Birthday Program Works
The Birthday Program uses each client's birth date along with their Contact Preferences to determine who is eligible to receive birthday communications.
Depending on your settings, you can:
* Send birthday SMS messages
* Send birthday emails
* Offer birthday discounts or promotions
* Promote specific services
* Include retail product offers
* Encourage online booking
Client Eligibility
Before sending birthday messages, verify that:
* The client's birth date has been entered.
* The client has opted in to receive SMS and/or email communications.
* Contact Preferences allow the selected communication method.
Clients who have opted out will not receive birthday communications.
Birthday Promotions
Many businesses choose to include a special birthday offer, such as:
* Discount on a facial or treatment
* Complimentary add-on service
* Retail product discount
* Free consultation
* Bonus loyalty points
* Birthday gift certificate
Peach Suite Pro allows you to customize your promotions based on your business goals.
Best Practices
Consider sending birthday messages:
* A few days before the client's birthday
* On the client's birthday
* During the client's birthday month
Keep messages friendly, personal, and easy to redeem.
Including an online booking link often increases appointment conversions.
