Canada’s neighbourhoods celebrate a lot more than one holiday season. If you sell homes in Surrey, Brampton, Richmond, Markham or Mississauga, many of your clients are getting ready for Diwali and Gurpurab right now. Next spring brings Vaisakhi, Nowruz, Holi and Eid, and Lunar New Year comes in between.

A short, sincere greeting on your website tells those clients something a listing can’t: that you know your community. Starting today, every RealtyTerminus website can do that, for free, with Festival greetings.

15 festivals, in their own words

You choose from:

  • Canada-wide: New Year, Canada Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas (with a French line).
  • South Asian: Holi, Vaisakhi, Navratri & Dussehra, Diwali and Gurpurab (Guru Nanak Jayanti), in Hindi or Punjabi.
  • East Asian: Lunar New Year and the Mid-Autumn Festival, in Chinese.
  • Eid & Nowruz: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha in Arabic, Nowruz in Persian.
  • Jewish: Hanukkah, in Hebrew.

Each greeting pairs the English wish with a line in the festival’s own language and script — for example ਵਿਸਾਖੀ ਦੀਆਂ ਲੱਖ ਲੱਖ ਵਧਾਈਆਂ for Vaisakhi, शुभ दीपावली for Diwali, 新春大吉 for Lunar New Year and عيد مبارك for Eid — and ends with your name.

Greeting ribbons for Diwali, Gurpurab, Eid, Lunar New Year, Nowruz, Hanukkah and Canada Day, each with a native-script line.

Dates that take care of themselves

Diwali, Eid, Lunar New Year and Hanukkah fall on different dates every year. You don’t need to look them up. The dates are built in, as observed in Canada, and Thanksgiving always lands on the second Monday of October. Each greeting appears a few days before the festival and disappears a day or two after. You can widen or shorten that window for any festival.

  • Gurpurab (Guru Nanak Jayanti) —
  • Hanukkah —
  • Christmas —

Ribbon, badge, or both

Pick a slim ribbon above your header on every page (visitors can close it), a small badge on your home page, or both. Both use your website’s own colours, so the greeting looks like part of your site rather than a pop-up.

Respectful by default

Greetings are off until you turn them on, and you only choose the festivals your clients celebrate. The default messages are short, warm wishes with no sales pitch. If you’d rather say it your way, write your own message (up to 160 characters), or hide the native-script line and keep it in English.
