Successful PPC Strategies for the Saudi Consumer Base

Helping a high-end retailer, we identified that their Arabic branding was substantially inferior than their international communication. After achieving consistency between the language versions, they achieved a substantial growth in identity recognition among Saudi consumers.

For a software company, we adjusted their global visual identity to better align with Saudi design expectations while keeping visual recognizability. This technique increased their design resonance by 124%.

Last quarter, a store group invested over 200,000 SAR in traditional marketing with disappointing outcomes. After shifting just 30% of that spending to smartphone advertising, they achieved a three hundred twenty-eight percent growth in store visits.

As someone who has developed over 30 Arabic websites in the last half-decade, I can assure you that applying Western UX practices to Arabic interfaces fails miserably. The distinctive elements of Arabic language and Saudi user behaviors require a totally unique approach.

Important scheduling insights included:

  • Reduced competition during religious periods with consistent performance
  • Greater response on weekends especially after evening prayers
  • Seasonal variations requiring investment changes during Ramadan
  • School schedule impacts on certain categories

A cosmetics company transitioned from numerous one-time engagements to longer-term associations with a smaller number of influencers, resulting in a one hundred sixty-four percent increase in purchases and a forty-three percent drop in acquisition costs.

  • Moved product photos to the left portion, with product information and purchase buttons on the right
  • Modified the photo slider to advance from right to left
  • Added a custom Arabic font that kept clarity at various scales

A medical center experienced a significant improvement in brand recognition after executing a platform-specific presence methodology that acknowledged the special characteristics of each digital platform in the Saudi context.

A few months ago, a cosmetics company invested 300,000 SAR in traditional advertising with limited results. After redirecting just 25% of that spending to influencer marketing, they experienced a 712% growth in revenue.

After partnering with three separate international Compare SEO Agencies Riyadh that couldn't provide results, my organization finally partnered with a specialized Riyadh-based marketing firm. The contrast in results was astonishing.

For a global fashion company, we created a locally-targeted virtual presence approach that featured subtle local symbolism. This strategy enhanced their emotional connection by over one hundred fifty percent in only half a year.

Working with a culinary business, we created a strategy where influencers naturally integrated products into their daily lives rather than producing evident sponsorships. This strategy generated engagement rates 218% greater than standard advertising posts.

For a travel customer, we identified that word-for-word transfer of their global search terms generated exceptionally inefficient spending. After executing a locally-focused query strategy, their CPA decreased by seventy-three percent.
