Birthday & Anniversary Campaigns Built for Bicycle Shops

{"faqs":[{"answer":"Yes — birthdays and bike-versary dates happen year-round, so the campaign gives your shop a natural, non-pushy reason to reach out during the slow season with a tune-up or maintenance offer. Because reactivating a customer costs roughly 5x less than acquiring a new one, it's one of the most efficient ways to keep the service bay busy when walk-in traffic drops.","question":"Can a birthday campaign actually help my bike shop's winter cash flow crunch?"},{"answer":"No. CallMyCustomers works from your existing list exactly as it is — a point-of-sale export, a CRM, or even a plain spreadsheet. There's no software to buy or learn, and replies route back into whatever booking process you already use.","question":"Do I need a new bike shop POS system or CRM for this to work?"},{"answer":"Complete control. We plan the campaign together, you sign off on every script, offer, and message before anything is sent, and texts and emails go out in your shop's name. Nothing reaches a customer without your approval.","question":"How much control do I have over the birthday offers and messages sent to my customers?"},{"answer":"It starts with a free list review, where we segment your customers and quote your flat setup fee and per-minute rate. Once you approve the scripts and offers, outreach begins — replies can come in as soon as the first wave goes out, and win-back campaigns typically run two to four weeks end-to-end.","question":"How long does it take to get a birthday campaign running for my shop?"},{"answer":"Automation tools send emails and leave the judgment to you. CallMyCustomers is done-for-you: real humans make calls on your behalf, texts and emails go out in your name, every message is approved by you first, and replies are routed into your booking process. Pricing is a flat setup plus per-minute outreach — no per-seat or software costs — and texts and emails aren't billed separately.","question":"How is this different from running birthday emails myself or using a marketing automation tool?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Free List Review","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Send us your customer list from your bike shop POS system, CRM, or spreadsheet.
