When to send

Ramadan lasts 29 or 30 days. Announce your Ramadan collection or opening hours a week before it starts, then keep messages for the evening: people read and buy after iftar and late into the night.

Saudi Arabia sets separate promotional hours during Ramadan, so check the window below before scheduling evening campaigns.

Tips for this campaign

  • Open with a short greeting such as Ramadan Kareem, then get to the point.
  • Avoid sending promotions around iftar time, when people are with family.
  • Send service changes (opening hours, school timings, delivery cut-offs) as transactional messages without offers.

Sending-hour rules for promotional SMS

Promotional messages must reach people within the hours their regulator allows, in the recipient's local time. Transactional and OTP messages run 24/7.
