Festival voice message scripts are short, ready-to-read greetings and offer announcements you can turn into audio and send to customers. Below are scripts for 8 upcoming festivals, in English and Hindi. Add your business name and offer once, and every script updates. Then generate the audio in Kveeky and share it as a WhatsApp voice message, an Instagram Reel or an in-store announcement.
Key Takeaways
- Keep festival voice messages to 10–20 seconds: greeting first, then one offer, one date and one place to buy.
- Each festival has a shop-offer script and a customer-wishes script, in English and Hindi.
- Kveeky also has voices in Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam and Punjabi. Translate the English script and paste it into the same voice workflow.
- Only send WhatsApp messages to customers who opted in, and stop when they ask. WhatsApp’s own Business Messaging Policy requires both.
- For audio you send to customers, use a paid Kveeky plan. Every paid plan includes commercial usage rights.

How to turn a script into a festival voice message
- Personalise and copy a script from this page.
- Paste it into Kveeky and pick a voice in the script's language. Warm, friendly voices suit festival greetings best.
- Adjust the delivery: slow down slightly for offers, and add a comma before the business name so it is heard clearly.
- Download MP3 or WAV and listen once on a phone speaker, where most customers will hear it.
- Share it as a WhatsApp audio file, as the soundtrack of an Instagram Reel, or on your in-store speaker.

WhatsApp rules for festival messages
Festival broadcasts are where businesses most often annoy customers. WhatsApp’s Business Messaging Policy sets 2 clear rules.
| Rule | What it means for your festival message |
|---|---|
| Contact people only after they opt in | Send voice messages only to customers who gave you their number and agreed to receive messages from you |
| Respect every opt-out | If someone asks you to stop, on or off WhatsApp, remove them from your list |
| Keep it short (good practice) | 10–20 seconds, one offer, one date, one place to buy |
| Say who you are first (good practice) | Put the business name in the first sentence so the message is not mistaken for spam |
Quick checklist before you send
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Business name is said clearly in the first 5 seconds | Customers decide in seconds whether to keep listening |
| Offer, end date and place match your store signage | Avoids complaints and confusion at the counter |
| Played once on a phone speaker | Most people hear it on a phone, not on headphones |
| Sent only to opted-in customers | Required by WhatsApp’s Business Messaging Policy |
| Audio made on a paid plan if it promotes your business | Paid Kveeky plans include commercial usage rights |
Frequently asked questions
How long should a festival voice message be?
Aim for 10–20 seconds. Greet first, then give one offer, one end date and one place to buy. Longer messages are skipped more often.
Can I make a Diwali voice message in Hindi?
Yes. Copy a Hindi script from this page, paste it into Kveeky, choose a Hindi voice and download the audio as MP3 or WAV to share.
Can I send these voice messages to customers on WhatsApp?
Yes, if they have opted in. WhatsApp’s Business Messaging Policy says you may only contact people who gave you their number and agreed to receive your messages, and you must stop when they ask.
Do I need a paid plan to use the audio for my business?
You can test scripts on the free plan. For audio that promotes your business, use a paid plan: every paid Kveeky plan includes commercial usage rights for generated audio.
Are these scripts free to use?
Yes. Copy, edit and use them for your business. They are written to be read aloud, so keep sentences short if you change them.
