Festival offer templates for WhatsApp (Diwali, Holi, Eid and more)

Festival campaigns are where most Indian businesses use WhatsApp marketing, and where numbers get blocked most. Send them to opted-in customers, make the offer clear in the first line, add an image, and give an easy way to opt out.

When to send

  • 7–10 days before the festival (early-bird)
  • 1–2 days before
  • Last day of the offer (one reminder only)

4 ready-to-copy templates

Variables like {{1}} are filled in for each customer when you send. Change the wording to fit your business, and give Meta a realistic example for every variable when you submit.

Tips to get these approved

  • Only send to customers who opted in. Festival blasts to bought lists are the fastest way to get a number restricted.
  • Segment: past buyers of a category get the matching offer, not everyone.
  • Submit festival templates a week early. Approval is usually quick, but a rejection leaves you time to fix it.
  • Meta limits how many marketing messages one person receives from all businesses, so some messages may not be delivered during busy festival weeks.

Frequently asked questions

Can I send Diwali wishes without an offer?

Yes, but greetings are still Marketing templates and are charged at the marketing rate. A short greeting with a useful line (new timings, festive menu) works better.

Can I use emojis and images?

Yes. Emojis are fine in the body, and an image header usually gets more attention than text alone.
