In the examples the shop is Shree Ganesh Sarees, opening on Friday 6 November (Dhanteras) at 10 am at CG Road, Ahmedabad. Change these to your own. Keep {{name}} as it is: Rapid Sender replaces it with each person's name from your list.
Some messages also use {{date}}, {{time}}, {{venue}} or {{offer}}. These are column names in your Excel sheet. If everyone gets the same details, just type them in. A column helps when, for example, you give wholesale buyers a different offer from retail customers.

Put each customer's name on the opening card
An opening card that says 'Dear Rajesh Patel' on it gets noticed. In Rapid Sender you attach your opening card or poster once as a PDF or image, place a name box on it and pick the font, and every person on your list gets their own copy with their name printed on it. Gujarati and Hindi fonts are included.
With a PDF, WhatsApp shows the first page in the chat with your message as the caption. You can also attach your catalogue PDF instead, so customers can browse the products before they visit.
How to send the invitation to all your customers with each name
- 1
Export your customer list
Take the names and numbers from your billing software, diary or phone and put them in an Excel or CSV file with a name and a phone column (with 91). Add an offer column if different groups get different offers.
- 2
Open Rapid Sender and link your WhatsApp
Open rapid-sender.com in your browser, with no install or signup. Scan the QR code from WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business (Linked devices, then Link a device).
- 3
Upload the list and write the message
Upload the sheet (up to 5,000 contacts), paste a template and insert {{name}} with the + Name button.
- 4
Attach the card and place the name
Attach the opening card, poster or catalogue, place a name box if you want each name printed, and check the live preview.
- 5
Test, send, and check the report
Send a test to yourself, then send to everyone. There is a random 7 to 10 second pause between messages, so 500 customers take about an hour and a half. Download the report as Excel to see who received it.
Tips for a shop opening invitation
Send the invitation 3 to 5 days before the opening and a reminder the evening before.
Message only people who know you: past customers, suppliers, neighbours, friends. Messages to strangers are often reported as spam.
Make the offer clear and true, with an end date.
Add the address and a map link in the message, not only in the image.
If you have a second WhatsApp number, use the alternate number option to spread a long list.
Opening on Dhanteras or Labh Pancham? Send the invitation before the festival rush, when people still read their messages.
Frequently asked questions
How do I invite customers to a shop opening?
Send a short, personal WhatsApp message with your shop's name, the date, time and address, and an opening offer if you have one. Rapid Sender sends it to every customer on your list with their name, from your own number, for free.
What is good shop opening wording in Hindi?
"आदरणीय {{name}} जी, श्री गणेश जी की कृपा से हमारी नई दुकान का शुभ उद्घाटन 6 नवंबर को होगा। आप सादर आमंत्रित हैं।" More Hindi and Gujarati versions are above.
Can I send the invitation to people who have not saved my number?
Yes. Rapid Sender sends normal personal chats from your WhatsApp, so the message reaches people even if they have not saved your number. A WhatsApp broadcast list does not do this.
Should I add an offer to the invitation?
An opening offer gives people a reason to come, and a small gift for the first customers works well. Keep it honest and add an end date.
When should I send a shop opening invitation?
Three to five days before the opening, with a short reminder the evening before. For a Dhanteras or Diwali opening, send it a little earlier, before people get busy with the festival.
Can I attach my catalogue or price list?
Yes. You can attach one file per send: a photo, video, voice note, PDF or document. A catalogue PDF shows its first page as a preview in the chat.
