Can I set up anniversary sale discounts?

Question

As an e-commerce business owner, I'm looking to create a strategic anniversary sale that rewards customer loyalty and drives repeat purchases. I want to understand how to design an effective anniversary discount campaign that feels special and personalized, without simply offering a generic site-wide sale. My goal is to make customers feel valued while also generating meaningful revenue during this annual event. I need practical guidance on timing, targeting, and implementation of anniversary discounts that go beyond basic percentage-off promotions.
