1. Prepare the ground for Black Friday

Informing WhatsApp channel subscribers in advance about early access to Black Friday promotions will make them feel special and enhance their loyalty.

Furthermore, suggesting that they start exploring the e-commerce site to create a wish list sets in motion their involvement and anticipates the excitement of shopping.

The clear promise of exclusive offers and continuous promotion via WhatsApp will keep customers engaged and interested as Black Friday approaches.

2. Grandparents’ Day

Grandparents’ Day is an ideal opportunity to offer customers a selection of gifts specifically designed for this special occasion.

By inviting customers to consult a dedicated catalog (which you can send directly in the WhatsApp message), you offer them a range of options to express their affection towards grandparents.

Furthermore, highlighting the attention to detail and the possibility of personalizing gifts can make the offer even more appealing to customers.

3. World Food Day/Pasta

World Food Day is the perfect opportunity to demonstrate your commitment to healthy food and invite customers to share this passion. By offering a special menu, sharing recipes and nutritional advice, show that your brand is an ally in promoting a healthy lifestyle.

Furthermore, using WhatsApp to communicate with customers allows them to interact directly with your restaurant or food business, creating a stronger bond between you and your clientele.

4. Halloween

The Halloween strategy is based on customer enthusiasm and active participation.

A fun idea is to launch a “Trick or Treat” promotion, offering a mystery discount or a surprise gift to encourage purchases on the website.

You can then invite your customers to visit your e-commerce site on Halloween and use the promotional code “TRICKORTREAT” at checkout. This way they will receive a mysterious discount on the purchase or a surprise gift!

5. Breast Cancer Prevention

Send a WhatsApp message to your customers involving them in the cause of breast cancer prevention during the purchase process on your site.

You can inform them that you will donate a portion of October’s sales to a specific association that deals with research in the field of breast cancer prevention.

You can also give the possibility directly in the cart to add an additional donation for those who wish.

This initiative, communicated via WhatsApp, combines discounts with charitable efforts, encouraging customers to contribute meaningfully to the cause while they shop.

In conclusion, as you have seen, the world days of October represent a unique opportunity to promote your products and services, sending valuable content to your customers on important occasions.

We are confident that these ideas will help you create engaging and original WhatsApp campaigns.
