How to send festival messages that people welcome
Festival season fills every phone with forwarded images and discount blasts. A message stands out when it sounds like it came from a person who knows the customer: the name, a short real wish, and one clear offer if you have one. Send the wish first and the offer second, because people reply to warmth more than to a sale.
Write the offer honestly
These samples use {offer description} instead of a figure because only you know the real offer. When you fill it in:
- State only what is true and current. Give the dates, what is included and any condition in the message or one tap away.
- Do not invent urgency. "Last day" should mean the last day.
- Keep the greeting kind and neutral. Short wishes read better than long poems or copied forwards.
- Match the message to the customer. Wish a festival only to people who celebrate it, or use a neutral seasonal greeting for a mixed list.
A simple festive calendar
| Occasion | Typical timing | Suggested message |
|---|---|---|
| Navratri | Nine days of the festival | Greeting with timings or offer |
| Diwali | Few days before to the day | Greeting, offer, holiday timings |
| Christmas and New Year | Late December | Thank-you and offer for the new year |
| Holi | Day before | Greeting with a short offer |
| Eid | Day before | Greeting, offer or timings |
Festival dates change every year, so check the calendar before you schedule. If you plan a Diwali campaign in detail, our Diwali WhatsApp message templates go deeper.
Rules for promotional messages
An offer sent to many people is a promotional broadcast. Send it only to customers who agreed to hear from you and include a way to say stop. On the WhatsApp Business API, a business-initiated message uses a template that Meta has approved, and the customer must have opted in. Submit the festive template for approval well before the festival, since review takes time. The template approval guide explains how, and broadcast rules and best practices covers frequency and consent. For a general set of sendable promotions, see the broadcast message samples.
After the festival
Reply to every answer you get. Festival messages bring a burst of questions in a few hours, and a shared inbox lets the team answer them without overlapping.
Sending festival messages to many customers
Copying a message by hand works for a handful of chats a day. Past that, three things usually break: someone forgets to send it, two people reply to the same customer, and nobody knows which customer answered.
- WhatsApp Business app. A broadcast list reaches up to 256 contacts at a time, and only people who have saved your number receive it. Good for a small, known customer list.
- WhatsApp Business API. A message you start outside the 24-hour window must use a template that Meta has approved, and the customer must have agreed to hear from you. Our guide to template approval shows what gets approved, and the guide to opt-in covers consent.
- A shared inbox. With Responseify the whole team answers from one number, each chat has an owner, and you can send an approved template to a tagged group of contacts as a broadcast. There is a free plan, and you can book a free demo to see it on your own use case.
To estimate what a month of messages costs on the API, use the WhatsApp cost calculator.

Frequently asked questions
What should I write in a festival message to customers?
A short, warm wish with the customer name, followed by one offer or a note about your festival timings. Keep it to three or four lines and add one link.
Can I send festival offers to all my WhatsApp contacts?
Send them only to customers who agreed to hear from you, and include a way to stop. On the WhatsApp Business API, business-initiated messages use Meta-approved templates and require opt-in.
When should I send a Diwali message?
A few days before the festival works for offers, and the day itself for a greeting. Festival dates change each year, so check the calendar before you schedule.
Should I mention a discount in every festival message?
No. A plain greeting builds goodwill, and an offer works better when it is real and specific. Mix both across the year, and state only the offer you are actually running.
How early should I submit a festival template for approval?
Well before the festival, because review can take time and a rejection needs a rewrite. Write the final wording with placeholders and submit it at least a week ahead.
