Birthday gifts for members

Recommended Posts

So I think I put this in the right place, I'm trying to build a community feel for my site, and I'm aware its one of my members birthdays. Now normally I'd just put up a thread with a google'd picture of a cake etc, but I'd like to do something a bit extra for the member (and all members if I'm aware its their birthday). The shop system we have allows me to create a) gift codes and b ) mystery item things. Would you find it either as a member in general or as a member receiving such as a gift off putting or not?

I wouldn't. I'd be tickled damn pink honestly. It's a nice gesture and it's nice to be thought of. That's not to say someone else won't think it's off putting but I think it's lovely.

Lovely! I give my members cards, musical dedications and sometimes e-books for their birthdays.

I think it's especially nice to get something for your birthday on site! Even if it's just shop items or site currency, it's such a nice gesture and really helps establish a sense of community!

A forum I was a part of a long time ago used to make graphics for people, so a nice surprise graphic of something they like is a nice idea (and which can only be used by them.) It could be a signature or an avatar. As to whether people would find it off putting or not, I don't know. I suppose it depends on if people are comfortable with sharing their personal info, or not.

Oh that sounds neat. The only thing that I've ever thought to do is to make graphics.

 

I think the only way it would be off-putting is if you made something they didn't want. Like you made a code for a post template for them, but they were comfortable using their old one and now they think they are required to use yours.

Gift Code for a "freebe" item sounds like a wonderful idea, and the best part is that it doesn't require a whole lot of extra work as an admin to set up. You can easily do it for each member without worrying about something TOO personal, like a specialty avi-siggy set (personal in terms of knowing what the member likes as far as object of focus, color scheme, etc).

That is a damn adorable idea. I'd love it if a site did something like that. Though, if you do I'd make it an option for members to let you know when their birthdays were privately so no one's left out!
