White Friday message templates for SMS and WhatsApp

White Friday is the Middle East's name for the Black Friday sales. Launch, early-access and last-chance messages, ready to copy in eight languages.

3 templates for this occasion

When to send

White Friday falls on the Friday after US Thanksgiving, and many retailers stretch it into a full week of deals. Tease early access a few days ahead and send a last-chance reminder before the end.

Promotional SMS must land inside each country's allowed hours, so do not schedule a midnight launch blast.

Tips for this campaign

  • Send early-access messages only to opted-in customers; it keeps complaint rates down at peak volume.
  • Use WhatsApp for rich offers and SMS for short reminders that link to the sale.
  • Book extra throughput with your provider for launch hour; volumes peak across the region at once.

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.

Check the send time for every country

The send-time planner converts your campaign time into each recipient's local time and flags countries where it falls outside the allowed window.
