The WhatsApp template library every local business should steal
Ready-to-send WhatsApp templates for welcomes, win-backs, birthdays, and referrals. Adapt them to your voice and go.
You do not need a copywriter to send great WhatsApp messages. You need a starting point. Here are the templates our merchants reach for most. Each one is built to feel personal, stay short, and earn a reply.
The welcome
Sent the moment a customer is enrolled. "Welcome to the regulars, [name]. Your loyalty pass is attached. Every visit gets you closer to a treat on us." Warm, clear, and it sets the expectation of more to come.
The win-back
Sent when a customer goes quiet. "It has been a while, [name]. Your usual is ready whenever you are, and dessert is on the house this week." Relationship first, reward second.
The birthday
Sent on or near their birthday. "Happy birthday, [name]. Come celebrate with us this week and the first round is ours." A reason to visit that has nothing to do with a discount.
The referral
Sent to your champions. "You clearly love this place, [name]. Send a friend our way and you both get a treat on your next visit." It rewards the behavior you already want.
- Keep every message under three lines
- Use the customer name once, naturally
- One reward per message, never a menu
- Always leave room for a one-tap reply
