Karva Chauth falls on Thursday, 29 October 2026. In the week before, salons fill up, mehendi artists are booked out, and jewellery and clothing shops see a rush. A few well-timed Karva Chauth WhatsApp messages help customers plan — and choose you.
A simple timing plan
- By 15 October: get templates approved.
- 18–22 October: booking and offer messages.
- 27–28 October: reminders and last slots.
- 29 October: a warm greeting, no hard selling.
Salons and beauty parlours
1. "Hi Ritu, Karva Chauth is on 29 October. Book your facial, hair and makeup slot now — the last two days fill up fast. Reply with a day and time."
2. "Only 4 slots left on 28 October. Reply BOOK to reserve yours." (Send only if it is true.)
Mehendi artists
3. "Karva Chauth mehendi bookings are open for 27–28 October. Home visits available in Vijay Nagar and Palasia. Reply with your address and preferred time."

Jewellers

Greeting on the day

Tips
- Message only customers who opted in.
- Keep the greeting separate from offers.
- Never fake urgency — only say "few slots left" if it is true.
- Confirm every booking in writing with date, time and address.
Handling the booking rush
In the last week before Karva Chauth, a salon may get more booking requests than one phone can handle. On the official WhatsApp Business API, the whole team replies from one number in a shared inbox, so no booking is lost. On our Growth and Pro plans, keyword replies can send your price list when someone types "rates", and you can send a confirmation template to one customer from the inbox even after the 24-hour chat window has closed.
See WhatsApp for salons or our plans from ₹790 a month.
