Quick answer

Good WhatsApp offer messages are short, specific and time-limited: "This weekend only: buy 1 kg sweets, get 250 g free. Valid till Sunday 9 pm. Order: reply YES." Send them only to customers who opted in, no more than once or twice a week, at times they're likely to act (Friday evenings for weekend offers, a week before festivals). Use a clear call to action, a real photo, and a way to stop messages. Post the same offer on WhatsApp status and as a Google offer post.

Rules that keep your number safe

  • Message only customers who opted in.
  • Once or twice a week at most.
  • Ask customers to save your number so broadcasts reach them.
  • Include an opt-out.
  • Avoid bulk-sending tools on the regular app (WhatsApp ban prevention, API vs app).

Timing

  • Weekend offers: Thursday or Friday evening.
  • Festival offers: 7–10 days before.
  • Lunch offers: 11 am.
  • Evening offers: 4–5 pm.

Combine with Google

Post the same offer on Google as an offer post with dates and a code (offer posts).

Track results

Use a unique code or reply keyword per offer ("Reply DIWALI") and count responses. Compare offers to learn what your customers respond to.

Keep it honest

Offers must be real. Fake "was ₹2,000, now ₹999" claims and conditions hidden until billing lead to complaints and bad reviews. State conditions clearly and honour the offer until it ends (handling complaints).

Checklist

  • Hook, offer, deadline, action, opt-out
  • Real photo
  • Opted-in customers only
  • Once or twice a week
  • Same offer on Google
  • Unique code or keyword to track

Key takeaways

  • Short, specific, time-limited offers work best.
  • Respect consent and frequency to keep your number safe.
  • Track responses to learn what works.
