Copy ## What to include in a grand opening invitation message Check the message covers these points before you send it, so no guest has to ask you for details later. - The name of the business and what it is, since the message is often the first anyone hears of it. - The full address with a landmark and the parking, this message is the one customers will search for. - The muhurat or puja time and the time the doors open, as two lines. - Who is doing the ribbon cutting or lamp lighting, if it is a guest of honour. - The opening offer or the welcome gift, in the message to customers. - A reply-by date in the message to family and friends, usually for the lunch. ### Before you send - Send two messages: a formal one with the puja time to family, friends and business contacts, and a customer message with the offer and the opening hours. - Put the address and a landmark in full. For a new shop the invitation is the only map most people will have. - If there is lunch or high tea for invited guests, ask for a reply. Customers do not need to reply, guests do. - Send it ten days ahead to business contacts and the family, and two days ahead to the customer list so the offer is fresh. ## Send the grand opening invitation on WhatsApp with one-tap replies Paste the message once and every guest receives it individually on WhatsApp with Yes, No and Maybe buttons.
