In this digital era of internet, finding birthday freebies for yourself or anyone dear to you can’t be easier!Proximity doesn’t count especially when the birthday freebies come with free shipping.
I will share with you practical examples on how to find birthday freebies near you and give few examples.
On my list are 5 things you must do to find and get your birthday freebies.
1.Visit freestuffs websites
There are are many freestuffs websites out there now if you don’t have an account with them, you can sign up and request for notifications.
From some of these websites, you also get important information especially on birthday celebrations giveaways.
A very good example is Julie’s Freebies and of course you’re reading about this now because you visit my FreeStuffsNg blog.
Some freebies website actually give freebies on days,one of which coincides with your birthday and trust me, such freebies add to the treats and gifts you receive on your birthday!
So, for freebies that are redeemable on a day that falls on your birthdays, look them up and request for them days,week or even months before your birthday.
If you ask me; “when is the best time to ask for a freebie?”My response will be “Now!”
Today is the best time to look up the available giveaways on freebies websites so if it’s going to take days for shipping it to you or you need to do more surveys to earn much points in exchange for your freebie, the days of interval before you eventually receive your birthday freebies would have been factored in by you.
So start now!
2.Search and Sign up to websites and loyalty program
To increase your chances of getting freebies near you on your birthday, do random but deliberate online searches using keywords for example “Yourbirthmonth birthday freebies”.
If you’re on twitter, Facebook or Instagram, have a list of local accounts you check in on regularly, especially if you see a record of them posting birthday celebrations freestuffs.
Twitter has a feature that lists businesses or influential accounts that you can follow in columns using Tweetdeck, or Hootsuite.
You can use the handy user-friendly Geo-tagging feature of Twitter that lets you see tweets within a set radius of your location.
Using Tweetdeck or an advanced Twitter search, just run a radius search from the point of your location to find the local tweets containing freebies for your birthday, or list of days in the month of your birth.
For free, sign up to receive direct notification from Google on your keywords I earlier suggested using google alerts.
One of the other ways to successfully search online and find places that offer giveaways for your birthday is to look for newsletters to sign up for.
Usually on the sign up page of most news letters, you will see if there is any special offer that you can benefit from when you sign up.
You may just find birthday freebies included.
Just sign up soon enough before the birthday giveaways run out.
For some birthday freebies, they come as reward for your membership of their club. For example, The Friends and Benefits loyalty program of Bare Minerals gives their members a free birthday gift every year of active membership.
They send the member a product coupon redeemable in exchange for a birthday gift, usually a cosmetic item such as an eye shadow or lip balm.
No purchase is required to redeem your gift in their stores, but you must make, at least, one online purchase for you to redeem your birthday gift.
For some like World Market, you are issued membership ID when you enroll in the World Market Rewards program and that gets you a free birthday reward each year.
So, sign up for their text notifications, expect to receive your birthday reward message at the beginning of your birthday month and remember that the opportunity to redeem it expires at the end of the birth month.
3. Physical visit
Though most orders are now made online, restaurants and a few supermarket chains still encourage physical visits to their premises by giving you freebies on your birthday.
To redeem it will therefore require physical visit to their sites or in some cases, you are actually encouraged to hold your birthday get-together with friends and family members there in their restaurants and bars.
So you need to include such physical visits in the itinerary plan on your birthday and don’t forget to go with a valid ID as proof that it’s your birthday.
The process to collect your birthday freebies could vary though.
While some don’t require any sign up but you need to print a birthday coupon before the visit, some restaurants like Acapulco restaurants give you a free entrèe on your birthday just for signing up and some like Dominoes give you special points on your birthday plus a “Buy One Get One Free” special birthday reward.
For some like Jack In The Box with most of its over 2000 outlets located in the West coast of the United States which affords you the choice to choose the outlet closest to you, you are required to visit their website and print out the special birthday coupon.
On your physical visit to their outlet,you show your ID as proof and claim your birthday freebies!
4. Ask around
This shouldn’t be difficult because there’s probably someone within your circle of acquaintances who is familiar with birthday freebies and the only thing you have to do is ask!
Now if you still can’t find anyone to tell you of one nearby, I encourage you to ask from the official who attends to you when next you visit your favorite restaurant or supermarket or electronics store if they have special promotions as birthday freebies.
You may just be one inquiry away from a birthday free!
5.Corporate birthday mates
Now just imagine your birthday falls on July 4, you definitely sure gonna enjoy some special fame and privileges every Independence Day!
Now most people don’t know that their birthday coincide with days some organisations celebrate their milestones and give special treats to make the day special.
Some of these days could even be their Founder’s Day marked with special funfair and giveaways that your benefit of having your birthday during such a day and attending such corporate occasion can fetch you birthday freebies.
