“Happy New Year,” “Happy New Year.” I'm sure you too will receive many such greetings from friends and acquaintances via WhatsApp this New Year's Eve. But you probably won't find New Year's greetings from your favorite company in your WhatsApp inbox yet. However, it also makes sense as a company to use WhatsApp as a personal communication channel for events such as New Year's Eve. In this blog article, we have summarized 4 ideas for you on how you can send New Year's Eve greetings to your customers via WhatsApp.

Why WhatsApp marketing makes sense on New Year

Using WhatsApp Business via the WhatsApp Business API allows companies to get in touch with customers in a particularly personal way. In contrast to email, WhatsApp is used every day by millions of people in Germany to communicate with friends, family or acquaintances. If a company now integrates WhatsApp into online marketing, you should make sure to consider this personal character of the medium when creating advertising campaigns. Special events such as Christmas, the customer's birthday or even New Year's Day are therefore particularly suitable for establishing a personal relationship with customers and standing out from other companies. With a personal message at the start of the new year, you remain present with your customers and show appreciation.

4 templates that you can integrate directly into your WhatsApp newsletter

1. Simple WhatsApp greeting message for New Year

A simple yet personal New Year greeting that you can send to your customers. Classic formulations such as “happy new year” or “happy new year” are ideal for this.

2. New Year greetings with a review of the year

Together with New Year's greetings, it's a good idea to give your customers a look back at the past year. What happened over the course of the year? Were there any festivals or anniversaries? Has your team grown?

3. New Year's wishes with an integrated outlook for next year

As an alternative to looking back on the past, you can also look to the future in your New Year greetings. Tell your customers what projects you have planned for the next year. Of course, you can also combine a review and outlook for the new year.

Probably the most popular promotional campaign of all - a discount or voucher campaign - is of course also ideal as an accelerator for the new year. You can send vouchers or promotional details to your customers via WhatsApp in connection with nice New Year's Eve greetings.
