Use Case

Automated
Birthday Campaigns

Celebrate your customers on their special day with personalized rewards that generate engagement and loyalty

4 Automatic Birthday Actions

OmniWallet performs these actions completely automatically when a user's birthday arrives

1

Automatic Points Gift

On the exact birthday date, the system automatically grants gift points to the user. You decide how many points to give based on the value you want to assign to this special date.

Configuration Example: 500 gift points = €5 voucher
1000 points = €10 voucher
2000 points = €20 voucher

Tip: Calculate the gift based on the average ticket. If your average ticket is €50, a €10 voucher (20%) is generous but ensures conversion.

2

Automatic Personalized Email

The user receives a congratulatory email in their inbox. The message can include their name, the gifted points, a special discount code, and a direct link to redeem their gift.

Email Example: "Happy Birthday, [Name]! 🎉
We've gifted you 500 points to celebrate with us. Redeem them for a €5 voucher or choose any reward from our catalog."

Tip: Add urgency: "Valid for 30 days" increases the usage rate.

3

Automatic Level Upgrade

As a special reward, the user automatically moves up to the next level of your loyalty program. This upgrade can be permanent or temporary (e.g., for 1 month).

Strategy Example:Temporary upgrade (1 month): The user tries benefits of the next level, gets hooked, and wants to keep them.
Permanent upgrade: Definitive reward that fosters long-term loyalty.

Tip: The temporary upgrade works best to motivate more purchases and "earn" the level.

4

Special Birthday Wheel

The user receives access to an exclusive birthday wheel with special prizes. This wheel is only available once a year, on their birthday, creating a unique experience.

Prize Example: • 100-300-500-1000 points
• Discounts 10-15-20-25%
• Free product
• Upgrade to VIP for 3 months

Tip: Ensure they ALWAYS win something good. It's their birthday, it should be memorable.

How Automation Works

Completely automatic system that runs without manual intervention

Technical Workflow

1. Automatic Detection

OmniWallet has the birth date data of each user. A daily cronjob (runs at 00:00h) checks which users have a birthday that day.

2. Points Granting

The system automatically adds the configured points to the user's account. These points appear immediately in their balance and can be redeemed right away.

3. Level Update

If configured, the system upgrades the user to the next level. If temporary, a task is scheduled to revert the level after the set period.

4. Wheel Activation

The special birthday wheel is enabled for that user. The wheel will be available for 24-48 hours (configurable) before automatically deactivating.

5. Email Sending

The congratulatory email is triggered through your email marketing platform (Brevo, Klaviyo, etc.). The email includes the gifted points and access to the wheel.

6. Push Notification (Optional)

If the user has the digital card installed, they receive a push notification on their mobile: "🎉 Happy Birthday! You have a gift waiting for you"

7. Tracking and Analytics

The system logs all actions: points granted, emails opened, wheels spun, gift conversion into purchases. Everything is measurable to optimize the campaign.

Why Do Birthday Campaigns Work?

Psychological principles that turn birthdays into a golden opportunity

Reciprocity

When a brand gives you a gift on your birthday, it activates the principle of reciprocity. The customer feels the subconscious need to "reciprocate" the gesture, usually with a purchase.

Emotional Moment

Birthday is a special day filled with positive emotions. Associating your brand with that moment creates a stronger emotional bond than any generic discount.

Feeling of Exclusivity

Receiving a gift "just for you" on "your special day" makes the customer feel unique and valued. It's not a mass discount, it's personal.

Opportunity Window

Birthdays create a natural buying window. People are more inclined to "treat themselves" on their birthday, increasing the likelihood of conversion.

Organic Virality

Users often share their birthday gifts on social media ("Look what [Brand] gave me"), generating free organic advertising.

Annual Touchpoint

Even inactive customers respond to birthday messages. It's a guaranteed annual opportunity to reconnect with users who stopped buying.
