WhatsApp Bulk Promotion in India
Indian shoppers plan purchases around festivals, salary day and wedding season, and they increasingly discover offers on WhatsApp rather than in email. A well-timed Diwali or Navratri broadcast in Hindi or a regional language often outperforms weeks of social ads.
Cloud WhatsApp lets India brands run WhatsApp bulk promotions: one approved offer message, personalised with each customer’s name and sent to your whole opted-in list in Hindi, English and regional languages.

Best time to send WhatsApp promotions in India
Late morning (11 AM–1 PM) and evening (7–9 PM) IST tends to get strong read rates in India. Remember the local weekend (Sunday (Saturday for many offices)) and time zone (IST (UTC+5:30)), and compare results across two time slots.
- Send festive campaigns 3–5 days before the festival, with a reminder on the last day.
- Try Hindi or regional-language versions for mass-market offers.
