Many Indian jewellers run monthly gold savings schemes — the customer pays a fixed amount for about eleven months and buys jewellery at the end. The scheme works only if members keep paying on time. Polite WhatsApp reminders help.
1. Welcome message
"Welcome to our 11-month gold scheme, Mrs. Lakshmi! Your monthly amount is ₹5,000, due on the 10th. Scheme card no. GS-2214. Keep this chat for all updates."
2. Instalment reminder
"A gentle reminder: your instalment of ₹5,000 for scheme GS-2214 is due on 10 November. Pay at the counter or by UPI to our shop account."
3. Payment received
"Thank you! We received ₹5,000 for scheme GS-2214. Instalments paid: 6 of 11."
A receipt in the chat builds trust and saves arguments later.
4. Missed payment
"We noticed this month's instalment for GS-2214 is pending. Please pay when convenient so your scheme stays on track. Call us if you need help."
5. Maturity alert
"Good news! Your scheme GS-2214 completes this month. Visit us any day to choose your jewellery. Bring your scheme card and ID."
6. New design preview
"Scheme members get a first look at our new bridal collection this Sunday, 11 am to 7 pm."
Tips
- Keep the tone polite — these are your loyal customers.
- Always mention the scheme number and amount.
- Explain the scheme terms clearly at the start and follow them.
- Message only members who agreed to updates.
When you have hundreds of members
Sending reminders by hand every month is slow and easy to miss. With the WhatsApp Business API, reminders and receipts go out as approved templates from one number, and staff share one inbox for member questions. Note: the WhatsApp Business API sends messages; it does not collect the instalment itself. See WhatsApp Business API in Chennai or our plans from ₹790 a month.
