Easter messages for your customers and clients
This is the section most people miss. A short Easter text to your customer list does two things: it keeps your business name on their phone (so they think of you next time they need you), and it shows you're a real person, not just a company that sends invoices.
The best time to send is the last working day before the Easter weekend. Your message lands while people are still in "work mode," and your business name is the last one they see before switching off.
Keep it warm, keep it short, and include your business name so they know who it's from.
Professional and warm

How to send Easter messages to your entire customer list
Texting one person is easy. Texting 50, 200, or 500 customers individually is not. Here's how to send a personalised Easter greeting to everyone on your list without spending your evening typing.
Option 1: Use Remindlo's campaign feature
If you already use Remindlo as your appointment reminder system, you can send SMS messages to your customers directly.
Step 1. Log in to your Remindlo dashboard and go to customers.
Step 2. Pick the customer you want to send a message to. The more personalized it's going to be, the better
Step 3. Use the SMS icon inside the product paste your SMS wishes and send it over

That's it. Takes 30 seconds to send it over.
If you don't have a Remindlo account yet, the free plan includes 10 SMS per month - enough to send Easter greetings to your most important clients and see how they respond. No credit card required.
Option 2: Use a Google Sheet + Zapier
If you keep your customer list in a Google Sheet, you can trigger SMS messages through a Zapier integration. Add a column for "Easter message sent," and when you mark a row as "Yes," Zapier sends the text automatically via Remindlo.
For a step-by-step setup, see our guide to sending SMS reminders from Google Sheets.
Option 3: WhatsApp broadcast
If your customer list is small (under 30) and you have everyone saved as a contact, you can use WhatsApp's broadcast list feature. It sends the same message to multiple people as individual chats, not a group. The limitation: you can only broadcast to people who have your number saved in their phone, and there's no personalisation beyond what you type manually.
Timing: when to send your Easter message
Thursday is the sweet spot for business messages. It's the last working day before Easter, people are wrapping up for the break, and a friendly text from a business they know feels welcome rather than intrusive.
Saturday or Sunday works for personal messages - family, friends, people you're close to. An Easter morning text feels natural.
Avoid Good Friday for business messages. People are already in weekend mode and less likely to associate your text with your business.
Time of day: between 9am and 12pm. Early enough to be seen, not so early it wakes anyone up.
SMS length and cost
A standard SMS is 160 characters. Most of the messages on this page fit within that. If your message goes over 160 characters, it's sent as two SMS segments, which means double the cost per recipient.
At Remindlo's Starter plan rate (£19/month for 75 SMS), sending an Easter greeting to 75 customers costs £19. At the Standard plan (£49/month for 250 SMS), the same greeting to 250 customers costs £49. The per-message cost is roughly 19-25p depending on your plan.
For context: a single customer rebooking because your Easter text reminded them you exist is worth £50-150 in revenue. One conversion pays for the entire campaign many times over.

Frequently asked questions
Is it legal to send Easter SMS to my customers in the UK?
Yes, provided you have a legitimate basis under GDPR and PECR. If the customer has previously used your services and you're sending a seasonal greeting (not a hard sell), legitimate interest applies. Include your business name so they know who it's from, and make it easy to opt out ("Reply STOP to unsubscribe"). For details on SMS compliance, see our UK GDPR and SMS guide.
Should I include a promotional offer in my Easter message?
You can, but keep it subtle. A pure greeting with your business name is enough to stay top of mind. If you add a booking nudge, frame it as a helpful reminder, not a sales pitch. The "soft booking nudge" templates above show how to do this without feeling pushy.
What if my customers don't celebrate Easter?
Use one of the inclusive / non-religious messages. "Happy long weekend" and "enjoy the bank holiday" work for everyone and show the same warmth without making assumptions.
Can I send Easter messages through Remindlo's free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 10 SMS per month. If you want to reach more customers, the Starter plan (£19/month, 75 SMS) or the Standard plan (£49/month, 250 SMS) will cover most small-business needs for a seasonal campaign. Sign up free here.
