A Special Happy Birthday Wish

Over half of the Shopify merchants using Happy Birthday Emails send their messages to increase customer loyalty rather than drive sales.


 

Merchants really like the idea of the Happy Birthday app being more of a personal touch rather than a sale driver.

Message Idea: It's your birthday, {FirstName}! All of us at {SiteName} hope you have an incredible year! STOPXXXX to opt out

Characters: 110 / 160 | SMS Counter: 1

Give something without the expectation to get something back. It’s one of the best ways to make a great impression on your customers. Customers value this kind of experience and it always leads to positive results.
 

  Pro Tip:

When you use SMS to send those birthday wishes, the high open rate can almost guarantee that nearly all your customers will see their messages.


Unique Discount Code

Personalized discount codes can include the customer’s name to form something like JAKEBD to really nail their attention and make it hard for the customer to ignore.


 

You can send customers an automatic SMS offer with a special discount code they can use on their birthday to shop whatever they want from your Shopify store.

Message Idea: {SiteName} Happy Birthday, {FirstName}! (present emoji) Claim your 15% birthday discount until next week at {SiteURL}! STOPXXXX to opt out

Characters: 144 / 160 | SMS Counter: 1

Take the personal touch to a new level with a personal text message on their birthday showing not just their special deal, but that you care enough to go that extra mile.
 

  Pro Tip:

Now you can automate this entire process by connecting SMSBump and Happy Birthday Discounts using the setup tutorial here.


Special Limited Time Offer

One of the best ways to use SMS automations for your Shopify store is to send them to your customers for time-sensitive deals and promotions.


You can create urgency by sending SMS text messages to your birthday boys and gals letting them know that they have a few hours or days to claim their gift or discount.

Most of those promotions usually go into your customer’s inbox or social media feeds. Today, those channels aren’t actionable enough to get those sales going.

Message Idea: Happy Birthday from {SiteName}, {FirstName}! Claim your discount until the end of March at {SiteUrl} and have an awesome year! STOPXXXX to opt out

Characters: 148 / 160 | SMS Counter: 1
 

  Pro Tip:

SMS is one of the best tools for that because customers see it instantly, they view the information in a matter of seconds and can take the action right away. A frictionless experience.
