Kids Eat Free on their Birthdays, Compliments of Your Camp!

Posted on December 3, 2011

Ever wished you could start a birthday club the way restaurants do, and give kids a free meal on their birthdays? Well, you can, and you don’t need to own a restaurant or spend any money to do it. Let me explain.

If you’re like most camps, you probably send postcards to campers to acknowledge their birthdays. If you don’t, you should, because it’s an easy way to make kids feel special while keeping your camp’s name in front of their face year-round.

But you can do better than just sending a simple birthday postcard. You can set up a system where you give campers a free meal on their birthdays, just like restaurants do.

All you need to do is PARTNER with a restaurant to offer your campers a free dinner on their birthdays. The restaurant would LOVE the free advertising and this action will also make your kids’ birthdays much more memorable while generating more word of mouth marketing for you since you will be the only camp around to give kids a free birthday dinner.
