Introduction

How can you increase the customer base for your restaurant? One way to do this is by leveraging chatbot marketing. With a birthday chatbot campaign, you can use Facebook ads to target an audience with an upcoming birthday and then leverage the chatbot to capture their date of birth and email address in order to qualify leads.

The goal is not just about getting more names on your mailing list or signing up for your newsletter; rather, it's about delivering relevant offers that will convert these new leads into customers!

1. What is a birthday chatbot and how does it work?

A chatbot is an automated program that can carry on a human-like conversation via voice commands, text messages, or both. It’s like having an extra set of hands to help you do more, so you can focus on what matters most - growing your business.

A birthday chatbot is a new marketing strategy that will help the restaurants to draw in more customers by targeting those with an upcoming birthday with Facebook Ads.

People love to receive gifts on their birthdays. The birthday chatbot delivers a compelling offer to Facebook users with upcoming birthdays to capture the customer's date of birth and email address for lead qualification purposes. It also offers users an e-card delivered on their actual birthday date.

They can also be programmed to do more than just answer questions - for example, you could program your chatbot as an automated concierge that tells the location, hours of operations, special offer of the week, and more.
