Pet Birthday Campaign & Loyalty Referral System
A done-for-you veterinary practice automation built for the Marketing Coordinator, connecting Twilio, Airtable, and Mailchimp so the work below happens on its own.
What this automation does, step by step
Every pet's birthday on file triggers a personalized birthday email from the practice, with the pet's name, a cute graphic, and a special birthday exam or grooming discount that expires within the birthday month.
Pet owners who haven't visited in 12 months receive their pet's birthday message with a particularly compelling win-back offer attached.
Clients who refer a new patient receive an automatic thank-you and a loyalty credit to their account, and the marketing coordinator sees a monthly referral leaderboard showing which clients are the practice's top ambassadors, so the team knows exactly who to recognize and appreciate.
- Veterinary practice management software
- Zapier or Make.com
- Mailchimp or ActiveCampaign (birthday and referral sequences)
- Twilio (birthday SMS)
- Airtable (referral tracking and loyalty credit log)
Using different software? We build around what you already have, so you never have to switch tools to automate.
The manual way vs. the automated way
Without automation
Manually, a marketing coordinator is stuck doing repetitive follow-ups and data entry that could otherwise run quietly in the background. Over a month, those small manual steps add up to a significant amount of lost time.
With this automation
- Win-back sequences triggered by inactivity, not guesswork
- Renewals and memberships that never lapse silently
- Referral and loyalty programs that track themselves
- Segmented campaigns built from actual purchase history
