What is HalfyBirthday?
Put simply...the HalfyBirthday Celebration is about 1 thing. Making more people smile. Life is short, and we think it should be celebrated more often! Soooo...2 X the Birthdays = 2 X the Fun!
Installation and Set Up.
After download, on the bottom of the 3rd intro screen, select the "Connect With Facebook" icon to synch the APP with your Facebook account. It will then ask you to select contacts to import from your current set of Facebook friends. This will create a new in APP contact list, calculating and showing both HalfyBirthday date and Birthday date for each contact. It will also ask to synch with your twitter account. (optional) Once set up is complete, at any time, via the "My Settings" screen, you can also import contacts from your iPhone contact list, or, via the "contacts" screen, directly input a single contact from scratch.
For best results, you should also try to get an email address entered for all your in APP contacts. Note - eMail ids are NOT populated by the Facebook synch.
What will the APP actually do?
The APP has a built in reminder function, "alerts tab" notifying you directly on your phone of each contacts HalfyBirthday and Birthday as those dates arrive on the calendar.
Remember, this is all about CREATING MORE SMILES! The main role of the APP is to now drive cheerful messaging between friends, with self managed integration into your Social Media presence - Facebook & Twitter.
But that’s just the beginning. The APP will soon also have all the following benefits:
•The ability to attach and send an e-gift to a contact directly from the mobile device.
•Choose from an ever expanding list of special offers, only available to HalfyBirthday subscribers.
•Frequent “Deal of the Day” rewards celebrating special occurrences
•The ability to send customized e-cards.
•Integration to an online store with tons of cool additional HalfyBirthday and Birthday gift ideas.
