Sibling gifting three days after Diwali, into a list that has just had a full festive run. Send two or three messages, and make the offer a different one.

The sequence

The four Bhai Dooj messages, in order

Each preview is the real template — the exact body, the footer Meta needs, and the button. Amber marks the blanks you fill in. Copy any one of them, or download all four.

Free, no sign-up. Copy any single message with the button on its card.

The brief

What moves at Bhai Dooj

The commercial facts behind the copy: when the money moves, what sells, and where in India it matters.

When the money moves

The two days after Diwali. There is no run-up to speak of, because Diwali occupies it.

Where it matters most

North and West India, Maharashtra as Bhau Beej, Bengal as Bhai Phonta

What sells

  • Gift sets and hampers aimed at siblings
  • Sweets, chocolate and dry fruit
  • Grooming, fragrance and accessories for brothers
  • Jewellery and accessories at accessible price points for sisters
  • Tilak thalis and pooja kits as add-ons

When to send each Bhai Dooj message

Dates below are counted from Wed, 11 Nov, 2026. Submit the templates to Meta about a week before the first send, so an approval queue is never the thing that decides the campaign.

Windows are a starting point, not a rule. Shift them earlier if you ship nationwide, and earlier again for anything that has to arrive before the day.

What your customer is buying at Bhai Dooj

A sister is buying for a brother or the reverse, often while already together for Diwali, which means same-city and same-day delivery matter more here than in any other festival on this list. Baskets are moderate, decisions are fast, and the buyer is frequently someone who bought from you four days earlier — so send them something different, not the same hamper.

Who to send to. Your Diwali non-buyers first — they have intent left and no purchase — then Diwali buyers with a deliberately different product set. North India, Maharashtra and Bengal carry most of the volume.

Yours, not ours

Customise and personalise it in the dashboard

The Bhai Dooj copy is a draft, not a script. Rewrite it, set your own offer, pick the audience, and submit it to Meta from your own WhatsApp Business account.

What you change

  • Your store name and brand voiceEvery template carries a [Store Name] slot. Fill it once and the rest of the copy is yours to rewrite — the catalog copy is a starting draft, not a fixed script.
  • Your discount code and offer[Discount Code] is a blank, so the code, the depth and whether there is an offer at all are decisions you make per festival rather than ones the template makes for you.
  • The button and where it goesEach template ships with one call-to-action button. Change the label, point it at the collection you actually want to land on, or swap it for a quick-reply button.
  • Festive creative in the headerThe catalog ships without a media header, because that is the component Meta rejects most often. Add your own festive image or video on your submission when you want one.
  • LanguageThe catalog is in English. Submit a Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali or Gujarati version of the same template under your own account and send it to the segment it fits.
  • Who receives it, and whenBuild the audience from order history, city, past festival purchases or spend, then schedule each of the four messages against the festival date instead of sending them by hand.

From catalog to campaign

  1. Open the festive catalogAll one hundred templates are in your dashboard under the template library, grouped by festival with the same previews you see on this page.
  2. Edit and useOne click opens the template pre-filled — body, footer and button already in place — so you are editing a draft rather than writing from a blank form.
  3. Submit to MetaPush it to Meta for approval from inside the dashboard. Approval is usually hours rather than days once your business is verified.
  4. Schedule the sequenceSet the four sends against the festival date, pick the audience for each, and the campaign runs without anyone remembering to press send.

    “Moksh got our Shopify WhatsApp live the same week we asked. Abandoned carts and COD confirms on one stack — for a smart-home catalog with real AOV, that inbox with order context is what we actually needed.”

  • One inbox instead of WhatsApp Web and Shopify admin

    “We were juggling WhatsApp Web and Shopify admin for every order question. TopEdge puts the SKU and COD status beside the chat. Recovery sequences finally feel like Apex, not a generic blast.”

Bhai Dooj questions teams ask

Yes, but a shorter one. It is genuine sibling gifting with a named recipient, so the gift-picks message converts — but your list has just been through the Diwali sequence, so two or three sends beat four and the offer has to be different from the Diwali one.

Festivals close to this one

Plan the run rather than the date — the campaign that follows is usually the one that pays for this one.
