Straight answers
You're going to ask. Good.
My POS already sends birthday emails.
To people you've already captured — it acquires no one new. Birthday Sprinkle brings you members from other businesses' tables, from the join-all network, and from local birthday searches, then proves each one at the register. Keep your POS program; this feeds it.
You text people? Isn't that legally risky?
Not the way we do it. Texting is opt-in only — a guest checks a box and enters their own number, and we timestamp that consent as proof. Every "STOP" is honored instantly and permanently, "HELP" replies automatically, and the whole flow is built to TCPA/CTIA rules so you're compliant without thinking about it. You get the one channel people actually read; your guests stay in full control.
Won't people abuse free stuff?
Every gift is a one-time code that dies when scanned. One birthday per member, locked after signup. Offers are with-purchase by default and you set a monthly redemption cap. Abuse is capped by design — not by trusting strangers.
How fast will I actually see results?
Fast — because birthdays don't wait for a campaign calendar. Roughly 1 in 12 of your customers has a birthday this month, so signups start the day your QR tents hit the counter, gift emails start going out the very next morning, and most businesses see their first redeemed party within the first couple of weeks. The dashboard timestamps every one, so you'll know the exact moment it paid for itself.
Will this spam my customers?
The opposite — restraint is the product. Members choose their level (birthday-only, occasional perks, or VIP), and platform-wide frequency caps mean no member ever gets buried, no matter how many clubs they join. That's why the open rates stay outrageous.
What's the catch?
There isn't one: every plan is free for your first 60 days. Card on file, and we email you a week before your first charge — no surprises. No contract, no hardware, no setup fee. If the dashboard isn't showing you parties, cancel in two clicks and export your member list on the way out — it's yours, always.
I'm not a restaurant. Does this work for me?
If you have customers, they have birthdays. Salons run "birthday blowout week," gyms run "birthday guest passes," boutiques run "birthday styling gifts." The machine is identical — only the gift changes.
