Powerful Network Planning for Saudi Brands

Using comprehensive research for a store chain, we identified that communications received between evening hours substantially surpassed those sent during traditional business hours, producing 187% greater open rates.

Initiate by mapping ALL your competitors – not just the major ones. During our investigation, we found that our biggest rival wasn't the famous brand we were monitoring, but a emerging startup with an unique strategy.

Through comprehensive research for a shopping business, we discovered that content published between evening hours dramatically surpassed those shared during traditional peak hours, generating one hundred forty-three percent better engagement.

Important image aspects to assess:

  • Suitable representation of individuals honoring social expectations
  • Color choices with awareness of traditional meaning
  • Buildings and landscapes that resonate with Saudi identity
  • Focus on particulars that demonstrate local knowledge
  • Heritage designs included tastefully

Last month, my friend's e-commerce store was barely surviving in search results regardless of offering exceptional products. After implementing the methods I'm about to describe, his organic traffic grew by 164% in just two months.

After extended periods of disappointing engagement with their target audience, their enhanced platform approach created a three hundred twenty-eight percent growth in interaction and a 187% growth in digital footfall.

Not long ago, I witnessed as three similar businesses poured resources into developing their operations on a certain social media platform. Their initiatives were unsuccessful as the channel appeared to be a bad match for our market.

I presently use several resources that have significantly enhanced our competitor analysis:

  • SEO tools to monitor other companies' keyword performance
  • Mention tracking platforms to track competition's online presence
  • Site monitoring tools to observe modifications to their online presence
  • Communication monitoring to get their campaigns

For a premium company, Jeddah website optimization we discovered that Snapchat and Instagram dramatically outperformed Meta for connection and purchases, creating a intentional reallocation of resources that increased complete effectiveness by over one hundred fifty percent.

Important scheduling discoveries:

  • After worship periods offering interaction possibilities
  • After dark usage spikes substantially greater than worldwide standards
  • Weekend habits significantly divergent from weekday interaction
  • Periodic changes during Ramadan demanding customized strategies
  • School schedule impacts on specific segments

For a luxury hospitality brand, we developed a communication methodology with precise attention to Arabic language refinements. This approach increased their interaction levels by over one hundred eighty percent.

Important elements:

  • Traditional vs. everyday Arabic usage
  • Regional accent variations suitable for the prospective customers
  • Formal addresses employment reflecting suitable honor
  • Spiritual references used with sensitivity
  • Metaphors that align with regional traditions

Current platform usage in Saudi Arabia:

  • Instagram: Dominant for lifestyle brands
  • Ephemeral platform: Remarkably successful with youth demographics
  • Conversation platform: Strong for announcements and social conversation
  • TikTok: Quickly expanding especially with younger audiences
  • Business network: Useful for corporate messaging

After years of underwhelming outcomes despite significant promotional expenses, their enhanced messaging methodology produced a significant improvement in engagement and a substantial growth in purchasing.

Important platform discoveries:

  • Messaging apps as principal communication channels for client support
  • Temporary content working remarkably successfully for specific segments
  • Motion content watching at substantially greater rates than international standards
  • Short-form considerable effect on community dialogue
  • Instagram notably successful for lifestyle brands

I use a straightforward tracker to record our rivals' rates adjustments every week. This has enabled us to:

  • Discover seasonal promotion cycles
  • Notice special offer strategies
  • Understand their cost structure

When I established my retail business three years ago, I was convinced that our unique products would stand out naturally. I ignored competitive research as unnecessary – a choice that practically ruined my entire venture.

I advise organizing competitors as:

  • Main competitors (offering nearly identical products/services)
  • Indirect competitors (with some resemblance)
  • Potential challengers (new companies with disruptive potential)

I invest at least a substantial amount of time each week reviewing our competitors':

  • Digital organization and navigation
  • Articles and content calendar
  • Online platforms presence
  • Client testimonials and evaluations
  • Keyword approach and rankings
