What's a birthday club and why is it effective for email capture?

A birthday club is a content upgrade where people sign up to receive something special on their birthday—this could be free merchandise, a discount coupon, or a custom birthday card featuring your art. While some people don’t enjoy birthday attention, the vast majority love being celebrated on their birthday and actively seek recognition. Birthday people will eagerly opt in to receive special treatment. It’s an effective landing page offer, and it also works well as a footer link on your website. The appeal is universal enough that it converts well, yet it costs you very little—a discount coupon costs nothing, and even custom items are minimal expense for the value of capturing that email address. People who care about birthdays will readily exchange their email for this type of personalized attention.
