Birthday & Anniversary Campaigns Built for European Auto Specialists

{"faqs":[{"answer":"We start with a free review of your customer list from your CRM, spreadsheet, or point-of-sale system, segmenting it by recency and identifying customers worth a birthday or anniversary touch. Once you approve the scripts and offers, our team makes the calls on your behalf and sends texts and emails in your shop's name. Replies route back into your booking process with confirmations and no-show follow-up.","question":"How do birthday and anniversary campaigns work for an independent European auto repair shop?"},{"answer":"No. CallMyCustomers is done-for-you with no software to buy or learn — we work from a CRM, spreadsheet, or point-of-sale list exactly as it is. There's no per-seat or software pricing, just a flat one-time setup fee and a monthly plan that covers the full campaign mix of calls, texts, and emails.","question":"Do I need new software or a CRM to run these campaigns?"},{"answer":"Yes. We work only from lists of real customers, honor opt-outs immediately, and follow all calling and texting regulations, including TCPA and A2P 10DLC in practice. The booking flow also collects explicit consent, so every touch is permission-based.","question":"Is this outreach compliant with calling and texting regulations?"},{"answer":"Campaigns typically run two to four weeks end-to-end, with replies often coming in as soon as the first wave of outreach goes out. Because we book replies directly into your existing booking process, appointments can land on your calendar from the very first wave.","question":"How long does it take to see replies and booked appointments?"},{"answer":"Most tools stop at a mass email or automated text — CallMyCustomers combines real humans making calls on your behalf with texts and emails in your name, and every message is approved by you first. As the saying goes, one call is often all it takes to win someone back, and replies route into your booking process rather than into an inbox you have to manage yourself.","question":"How is this different from just sending birthday emails myself or using an automated texting tool?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Free List Review","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Send us your customer list from your CRM, spreadsheet, or POS.
