From preparing for iftar parties to giving gifts and donating to charity, consumers are on the hunt for the perfect online purchases that cater to their Ramadan needs. 

As a digital marketer, it’s crucial to tap into this shift in consumer behavior and make the most of this lucrative period. So, buckle up and get ready to elevate your online marketing game with these five Ramadan marketing hacks!

Marketing Hacks for Ramadan to Boost Your Online Presence

Show Up on Social Media More Often

Fasting is challenging. While many people keep themselves busy in some or other ways, most spend a lot of time on social media channels. 

According to the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TRDA)’s report, UAE residents spend 4.35 hours daily on social media. 

Thus, while they consume a lot of content online through posts, reels, and photos, you need to show up frequently to showcase your brand’s unique identity with quality content. 

Personalize Your Ads

While your potential customers use social media channels and consume different types of content, understand what kind of content they consume and what their preferences are.

Many consumer behavior analysis tools are available to help you understand what content your customers like and their behavioral preferences to help you create your content strategy around their preferences. 

Time Your Posts and Ads Strategically

Understanding when your audience is active on social media or exploring online shopping websites is crucial. Since the iftar time or the sunset time when people break their fast, they are pretty busy meeting friends and families along with performing their prayers. 

Thus, timing your posts and ads during iftar time may not make sense, as very few people might be able to notice them.

Bring Out Attractive Offers and Discounts

Ramadan is a month of getting together, practicing spiritual discipline, and giving gifts and donations. Cloths, watches, bags, wall pieces, and many gifts are presented this month; hence, if you want to attract more customers, don’t forget to run Ramadan Sale to give offers and discounts. 

Theme Your Content Around Ramadan Activities

When you personalize your website and app’s content around Ramadan activities, people will feel connected and relate to your products better. Share your Ramadan wishes through cards and posts, talk about how Ramadan is celebrated in different parts of the world, or simply talk about its importance and popular tradition. 

The Bottom Line

So, this Ramadan, make a more significant impact with your content and expand your reach with personalized posts, reels, blogs, and videos. When you talk in your customer’s language, they will automatically connect with your products, and you will see a surge in your sales.
