Before you send: getting the greeting right
- Deepavali, or Diwali, translates to 'a row of lights', which is why it's known as the Festival of Lights.

Keep it personal: add their name and yours
The festive greeting generator puts the client's name in the greeting and signs it with yours, and your company's if you add it.
Add names to a Deepavali greetingSend them on time, one client at a time
- The morning of the festival
- The evening before, if you won't be free on the day
- To each client on their own, with their name in it
- On its own, never in the same message as a reminder
Greetings for the other festivals
See who's due a message before the festival, not after
Palby CRM is the CRM we make. Each client's notes and WhatsApp chats sit on their record, so you can see when you last spoke.
- Link your WhatsApp number, and each client's chats sit on their record, so you can see when you last spoke
- Keep a note on each client's record of the festivals they celebrate
- The week before the festival, open the 30-day view: it lists the clients you haven't been in touch with for a month.
Questions
Both are right. Roots.gov.sg calls the festival "Deepavali, or Diwali". In Singapore most people say Deepavali, and that's the name on the public holiday list.
Yes. With the client's name and one line for their family, it's a complete greeting.
Yes. A short, sincere wish for a festival your client celebrates is a kind thing to send. Use the festival's usual greeting, keep it about them, and leave business out of it.
WhatsApp for clients you already message there, email for the ones you only email. Either way, send each one to one client, not to a group, so it reads as meant for them.
Open the festive greeting generator and type the client's name and yours. The greeting comes back with both in it, ready to copy. Or paste one of these and type the name in yourself.
You can, but a greeting sent to a list reads like it went to everyone. Send it to each client on their own, with their name in it.
Yes. They're greetings to copy and send yourself, so use them as often as you like and change any word.
Send one that sounds like you
The greetings stay free. Come back before the next festival.
