Recently, a fashion retailer approached me after spending over 150,000 SAR on platform promotion with minimal results. After revamping their approach, we produced a dramatic growth in return on ad spend.
Not long ago, I observed as three rival companies spent significantly into developing their presence on a particular social media platform. Their attempts flopped as the channel proved to be a bad match for our industry.
Key prestige dimensions to assess for differentiation:
* Understated indication vs. obvious display
* Social confirmation of position
* Accomplishment focus coupled with inheritance recognition
* Hospitality demonstration as prestige display
* Faith association of premium consumption
If you're developing or redesigning a website for the Saudi market, I urge consulting designers who truly understand the subtleties of Arabic user experience rather than just adapting Western interfaces.
I presently employ several tools that have dramatically upgraded our market intelligence:
* Keyword trackers to analyze other companies' SEO strategies
* Brand monitoring tools to track competition's digital footprint
* Digital tracking solutions to track changes to their websites
* Communication monitoring to get their promotional messages
Successful approaches included:
* Curating items suitable for Saudi preferences
* Adapting item information to highlight features valued by Saudi consumers
* Unique selections for religious occasions
* Measurement adjustments for regional expectations
* Seventy-three percent improvement in website visits
* Premium rankings for multiple high-value keywords
* Significant rise in inquiries from our online presence
* Fifty-two percent growth in conversion rate
* Relocated product images to the left area, with product information and call-to-action buttons on the right
* Modified the photo slider to move from right to left
* Incorporated a custom Arabic typeface that preserved readability at various scales
Twelve months ago, my family-owned business was barely surviving to reach new customers. Our website was practically invisible in Google rankings. That's when I chose to try specialized search engine optimization.
Important advancement aspects to consider for placement:
* Functional advantages emphasis over newness
* Communal approval of technological adoption
* Conventional method augmentation rather than elimination
* Ease of integration into current habits
* Home improvements presentation
Begin by mapping ALL your rivals – not just the well-known ones. During our analysis, we discovered that our most significant competitor wasn't the famous brand we were monitoring, but a new startup with an innovative model.
After extended periods of disappointing performance in the Kingdom, their optimized strategy produced a significant growth in sales percentages and a one hundred eighty-seven percent growth in typical purchase size.
Essential modifications included:
* Clear delivery estimates for various areas of the Kingdom
* Various shipping choices including same-day service in major cities
* Complete visibility with native updates
* Flexible rescheduling for deliveries
Important support aspects to consider for differentiation:
* Connection foundation of service
* Expectation of immediacy
* Physical exchange inclination
* Complete issue solving anticipation
* Status recognition during assistance offering
* Repositioning CTA buttons to the right-hand portion of forms and pages
* Reconsidering visual importance to flow from right to left
* Redesigning user controls to match the right-to-left viewing pattern
* Use fonts purposely developed for Arabic on-screen viewing (like Dubai) rather than conventional print fonts
* Enlarge line spacing by 150-175% for better readability
* Use right-justified text (never center-aligned for primary copy)
* Prevent narrow Arabic typefaces that compromise the unique letter structures
A digital brand completely changed their business results by executing a repositioning approach that combined innovation with established [Middle East UX best Practices](https://Ljs.fun:19000/richelleconner). This approach enhanced their product interest by 142%.
For a international fashion brand, we implemented a placement approach that authentically resonated with conventional household principles while maintaining their worldwide charm. This technique improved their company significance by one hundred seventy-three percent.
I use a basic spreadsheet to monitor our competition's rates adjustments weekly. This recently enabled us to:
* Discover periodic price reductions
* Detect product bundling strategies
* Understand their value positioning
Throughout my latest project for a banking company in Riyadh, we found that users were consistently selecting the wrong navigation elements. Our user testing demonstrated that their focus naturally moved from right to left, but the important navigation elements were located with a left-to-right hierarchy.
