Tips for festive campaigns

  • Plan 3โ€“4 weeks ahead: designs, template approvals and segments.
  • Segment by region and faith, and send greetings only for relevant festivals.
  • Use local language where it fits (Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Arabic).
  • Respect quiet hours: avoid late-night sends.
  • Don't over-message: one greeting plus at most 2 offer reminders per festival.
  • Add a branded image in your festive palette for recall.

Send festive campaigns on WhatsApp, as RCS rich cards with images and buttons, or by email. Every tool has a free trial.

Quick answers

Questions readers ask.

When should I send festival greetings?

Greetings work best on the morning of the festival or the evening before. Send offer campaigns 5โ€“10 days before major festivals like Diwali, when people are planning purchases.

Can I send festival greetings to all my contacts on WhatsApp?

Only to contacts who opted in to receive messages from you. Mass messaging non-opted-in numbers risks blocks and a lower quality rating.

Should greetings include offers?

Mix both. Some customers appreciate a pure greeting; for others, a relevant offer is the value. Test and segment.
