Birthday Marketing Cupcake

It’s no secret that our company is named after its birthday. We *LOVE* birthdays at October17media.

Everyone who works here gets the day off on their special day. Heck, even October 17’s two owners can often be found doing some quality shopping to celebrate. Why do women shop to celebrate? Yes, we know it bewilders men everywhere and makes perfect sense to women. Shopping gives you immediate gratification. The sort of gratification one wants on their birthday. Pretty much everyone looks forward to their birthday. Yes, I know some people claim otherwise as the years start to mount, but truthfully it’s a time to commemorate the years past.

So what does all this birthday talk have to do with Marketing? So glad you asked. Birthdays open the door to Marketers everywhere and allow them to reach out to their new, current and potential clients. They can send the typical ‘Happy Birthday Message’ to keep in touch but what about the opportunity of a once-a-year promotion? A special offer that you can only take advantage of on your birthday, or birthday week or birthday month.
