Powerful Platform Promotion Strategies for Saudi Companies

Valuable approaches featured:

  • City-specific segments beyond basic regions
  • Area-specific focusing
  • Metropolitan vs. provincial variations
  • Expatriate concentration areas
  • Traveler destinations vs. native districts

After extended periods of implementing generic consumer categories, their improved regionally-appropriate division methodology generated a 241% increase in promotion results and a substantial decrease in advertising spending.

Last quarter, a Saudi company approached me after spending over 120,000 SAR on international SEO agencies Riyadh review services with minimal returns. After executing a customized Saudi-focused search optimization, they experienced top rankings for 23 important keywords within only three months.

I use a basic spreadsheet to track our competition's rates adjustments on a regular basis. This has helped us to:

  • Discover periodic discount patterns
  • Recognize special offer tactics
  • Comprehend their value positioning

Two quarters into business, our revenue were underwhelming. It wasn't until I accidentally a thorough study about our market sector that I realized how blind I'd been to the competitive landscape around us.

A few weeks ago, a apparel company consulted me after wasting over 150,000 SAR on social media advertising with limited results. After revamping their campaign, we produced a six hundred thirty-one percent growth in advertising efficiency.

When I started my e-commerce business three years ago, Vhembedirect.Co.Za I was sure that our unique products would be enough. I dismissed competitive research as a waste of time – a decision that nearly destroyed my entire business.

I currently utilize several resources that have substantially improved our competitor analysis:

  • Keyword trackers to track competitors' search rankings
  • Brand monitoring platforms to track competition's digital footprint
  • Website analysis solutions to monitor modifications to their digital properties
  • Newsletter subscription to obtain their promotional messages

Through detailed analysis for a shopping business, we identified that emails sent between night time dramatically exceeded those sent during typical business hours, generating one hundred eighty-seven percent better readership.

Start by identifying ALL your competitors – not just the obvious ones. In our analysis, we identified that our largest competitor wasn't the established business we were watching, but a recent business with an novel model.

Not long ago, I observed as three rival companies poured resources into developing their presence on a certain social media platform. Their efforts were unsuccessful as the channel appeared to be a bad match for our sector.

I invest at least 120 minutes each regularly examining our competitors':

  • Online structure and navigation
  • Blog posts and content calendar
  • Social media presence
  • User feedback and evaluations
  • SEO tactics and positions

Recently, a entrepreneur asked me why his blog posts weren't producing any inquiries. After examining his content marketing strategy, I discovered he was making the same errors I see countless Saudi businesses commit.

I suggest categorizing competitors as:

  • Main competitors (offering nearly identical solutions)
  • Indirect competitors (with limited similarity)
  • New threats (new businesses with disruptive potential)
