When should a business start planning its Ramadan and Eid posts?

Ramadan changes how people shop and when they are online. Restaurants switch to iftar deals and late-night menus, retailers extend hours for Eid shopping, and clinics and offices shorten theirs. Every one of those changes needs a post and usually a story, and each must be correct on the first day. Leaving them to the last week means rushed design, typos in timings and offers announced after customers have already decided where to go.

A complete set for most businesses includes the new Ramadan timings, a greeting at the start of the month, iftar or sehri offers if you have them, Eid collection or booking deadlines, delivery cut-off dates, the Eid greeting itself, closure dates, and a 'we are open again' post. Because the moon sighting decides the exact Eid date, prepare two versions of any date-specific post and publish whichever turns out to be right. The same planning habit helps with 14 August and the Eid ul Adha period.

Tone matters as much as timing. Respectful, warm designs in your own colours stand out more than the same crescent-and-lantern clip art every other page uses that week. Keep sales posts during Ramadan clear and modest, and be careful with celebratory designs around Muharram. We build festival graphics into the monthly posting calendar ahead of time, so they are approved and scheduled well before the date, even if the power goes out on the night.
