Cake, Confetti & Conversions: The Power of Celebrating Milestones

Let’s be honest—do YOU celebrate your birthday or business anniversary in your VIP group?

If your answer is no...why not? And if your answer is yes...are you actually having fun with it?

This month, I’m putting that question front and center because July 20th is my birthday and I’m not letting it pass quietly. I threw a full-on Birthday Tee Party inside my VIP group as I do annually! 🎉👕

Here’s the thing: celebrating milestones in your group doesn’t have to feel cringey, over-the-top, or fake. It can be (this applies to biz anniversaries too):

• A moment of reflection

• A burst of creativity

• A business strategy (yes, let’s not act like we’re not here to sell too!)

• And most importantly, a fun way to connect with your community

Why It Works:

1. It humanizes your brand.

People want to celebrate with you. Showing up as yourself (party hat and all) reminds them you’re a real person, not just a sales machine.

2. It creates urgency + excitement.

Flash sales, giveaways, birthday coupons—they hit different when they’re tied to something personal.

3. It brings back the FUN.

If your group has been feeling a little flat, a birthday bash or anniversary takeover can be the resuscitation it needs. (You know I’m all about reviving things... The Digital Pulse vibes. 💖)

What I Did This Year

Besides turning another year bolder, I ran my Birthday Tee Party this way:

🌟 Dropped limited, NEW tee designs all week

🎂 Hosted daily fun + games inside the VIP group

🎉 SURPRISE for you - Offering 38% off my VA services with code TDP38 during my birthday week (because yes, I’m turning 38 and I love a good theme)

And guess what? None of it was overly planned. It’s colorful, it’s chaotic, it’s organic—and that’s how I like it. You don’t need a perfect strategy. You just need to show up and invite your people to join you.

Not Sure Where to Start?

Here are 5 easy ways to celebrate your next milestone:

1. Grab a bundle or party pack from SAL (use code AKMAKES) or SKVA

2. Pin a post with your origin story + a heartfelt thank you

3. Host a one-day flash sale on your most-loved item

4. Do a giveaway and ask your community to share memories or photos

5. Go live and share your favorite biz lesson or blooper

Final Thoughts:

Your birthday isn’t just a personal celebration—it’s a brand moment. So is your biz anniversary, your first sale, your 100th follower. Use these milestones to build connection, hype, and yes…a little revenue boost never hurts.

So I’ll ask again: Do YOU celebrate in your VIP group? And if not, what’s holding you back?

Drop a comment, shoot me a message, or better yet—come party with me and let’s celebrate life AND business together.

Because around here, we resuscitate everything...even birthday energy.
