Can I send a Hari Raya Puasa greeting if I don't celebrate it?

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.

Should I send it on WhatsApp or by email?

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.

How do I add the client's name?

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.

Can I send one greeting to all my clients at once?

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. Copy as many as you like. There's no sign-up.

Before you send: getting the greeting right

Selamat is a wish for someone's well-being, so Selamat Hari Raya wishes them well for the festival.
Hari Raya Puasa is also called Hari Raya Aidilfitri, which is why the greetings say Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
Maaf zahir dan batin asks forgiveness for the seen and unseen wrongdoings and shortcomings. MUIS describes it as a custom of Hari Raya here.
Visits to family and friends go on through Syawal, so a greeting sent after the first day still arrives in season.

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 Hari Raya Puasa greeting

Send 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
