Festival campaigns fail when codes leak on social media. Issue personalised coupons from Coupon & Loyalty tied to customer phone numbers with single-use redemption.
Festival coupon campaigns on WhatsApp in brief
Festival coupon campaigns on WhatsApp fail when one generic code leaks onto social media, so WappBlaster's Android Coupon & Loyalty app ties every code to a single customer phone number and allows it to be redeemed once. A retailer can run separate bursts for Diwali, Eid and the wedding season, each with its own offer and an expiry that sits inside the festival window, which gives shoppers a reason to visit now rather than later. At the counter, staff look the code up on the store's Android phone and mark it redeemed, so a forwarded code cannot be used a second time. Customers get a WhatsApp nudge seven days before expiry and another a day before, which helps late shoppers use the offer in time. A ledger shows redemption history and open offers for each mobile number, and multi-outlet chains can set rules per outlet while seeing combined reports. The app costs ₹2499 ($22.99) a year, and campaigns should go only to customers who opted in.
