Happy Onam greeting with a festive offer
An Onam greeting for customers in Kerala that wishes them a happy festival and mentions a short festive offer with a clear end date.
May your home be filled with pookalam colours, a grand sadya and the laughter of everyone you love.
From all of us at Kasavu House{{2}}, thank you for a wonderful year. As a small festive gesture, all kasavu sarees and set mundu are 10% off until Thiruvonam day{{3}}, in store and on WhatsApp orders.
It is a festival greeting and it carries an offer, so it is marketing on both counts. Removing the offer line would still leave it as marketing, since Meta treats all greetings that way.
Variables
| Variable | What goes in | Example |
|---|---|---|
| {{1}} | customer name | Anjali |
| {{2}} | store name | Kasavu House |
| {{3}} | offer end date | Thiruvonam day |
When to use it
Send it to customers in Kerala and Malayali customers elsewhere in the days before Thiruvonam. Clothing, jewellery and home goods stores can combine the greeting with a modest offer, because Onam shopping happens right up to the main day. Keep the offer to one line so the greeting still feels like a greeting.
Best time to send. On Uthradom, the day before Thiruvonam, in the morning, when last-minute shopping is at its peak.

Tips
- Give the offer a real end date and honour it; "until Thiruvonam day" is clear to every Malayali customer.
- If most of your list reads Malayalam, a Malayalam version will do better than English.
- Show the actual sarees in the collection link, not a generic Onam banner.
Variations
