How to Add Date of Birth in Registration Form in Magento 2

• • Identify customers’ age group
  • Gather customers’ details for marketing strategy
  • Target customers based on the products appropriate for their age.

Knowing the age of customers helps merchants to launch marketing campaign age group wise. It is also extremely beneficial to recognize the psychographic purchasing behaviour of customers based on age groups. For instance, E-commerce store owners come to know.
