As the year winds down, people slow down and make space for meaningful conversations. It’s the perfect moment to reconnect with your leads or clients with a simple message of appreciation.
Even if they don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, most people are in a more open, reflective mood in the final weeks of the year — and a sincere WhatsApp message can go a long way.
We’ve put together some gratitude message templates you can send right away via WhatsApp. You can even blast them to hundreds or thousands of leads in one click by using WhatsApp Campaigns on Privyr.
They’re a warm way to rekindle conversations you haven’t touched in a while, make new leads feel appreciated, or show your support to existing clients.
How to blast Thanksgiving messages via WhatsApp
When sending messages of gratitude to clients, they should sound genuine and not just be another routine greeting.
By using tools like Privyr’s WhatsApp Campaigns, you can instantly reach a large audience while still maintaining that personal, one-to-one feel.
Remember that this isn’t the moment for a pitch or hard sell. Focus on appreciation, connection, and the relationship you’ve built. Your WhatsApp message will resonate more than others that feel transactional.

Happy Thanksgiving messages to leads you haven’t engaged in a long time
It’s normal for conversations with leads to go quiet, especially when timing, priorities, or life changes get in the way.
Thanksgiving is a natural and low-pressure moment to check in — a simple, thoughtful message can remind someone who you are, rekindle interest, and reopen the door for future conversations.
Keep it friendly and highly personalised if possible. We also have more tips on how to reconnect with leads you haven’t spoken to in months or even years!
"Hi Ashley 👋 Hope you’ve been well! With Thanksgiving coming up, I thought of you and wanted to check in to see how you’re doing.
Wishing you a positive close to the year!"
"Happy Thanksgiving, Henry! 😄 It’s been a while since we last caught up — hope your marathon journey is still going strong.
If you’re ever thinking about restarting your fitness routine or trying something new at our studio, I’d be glad to help you ease back in.
Wishing you a restful, feel-good holiday!"
"Hi Timothy, warm Thanksgiving wishes to you and your family! 🙌
It’s been some time since we last discussed your financial goals, so I hope the year has been treating you well.
If you ever want a quick review or a second opinion at your plans, feel free to drop me a message. Until then, enjoy the holiday season!"
"Hello Max, just dropping in with a little festive cheer 😊 🎉 It’s been some time since we last spoke, but I hope the year has treated you well.
If you ever need guidance or recommendations in real estate, I’m only a message away.
Wishing you a restful, joyful Thanksgiving!"
As a bonus, here’s a highly personalised message to send to a lead you haven’t spoken to in a long time. Customise the template with personal preferences to win back their attention!
"Hey Chris, hope you and Sarah are doing well. Around Thanksgiving, I usually update clients on any new year-end launches.
There’s one in Edenbrook that lines up perfectly with what you were searching for last year.
Every 3-bedroom unit in this new project includes a balcony with a stunning view of the city.
Would you like to see the floorplans?

Summary
Whether or not your clients celebrate Thanksgiving, this time of year is a natural moment to pause, reconnect, and express appreciation. A simple WhatsApp message can go a long way in:
- Strengthening long-standing relationships
- Gently re-engaging leads you haven’t spoken to in a while
- Reminding clients that you’re still here to support them
- Creating opportunities for future conversations
The key is sincerity. Thoughtful, human messages always stand out in a season filled with generic WhatsApp greetings.
