Birthday messages for clients on WhatsApp
Updated:
A birthday message is one of the few a client is always glad to get. It costs nothing and brings people back, but only if you remember the date, every year, for every client.
Schedule it once
- Ask for the birthday when a client first books or buys, and say why.
- In BetterZap, schedule a message for that date and choose Every year.
- Pick an hour when your computer is usually on. If Chrome isn't open at that time, the message is marked Late and waits for you to decide.
Sample message
Happy birthday, {name}! 🎉 We hope you have a great day. If you'd like to treat yourself, your next visit this month has 10% off 😄
Make it personal
Each message goes to one person, so write it for them: use their name, and mention their favorite service or product if you know it. A note on the contact helps you remember. Avoid a long sales pitch, which turns a kind gesture into an advert.
Only for people who agreed
Send birthday messages only to clients who gave you the date and agreed to hear from you. Someone who asks you to stop shouldn't get next year's message: cancel the one waiting in Messages, which ends the series.
Before you rely on this
- It's made for one message to one person. Only message people who agreed to hear from you.
Try it on your own number
BetterZap is free for up to 20 messages a day, and your contacts stay in your browser.
