Digital marketing services in Palestine, in Arabic, for businesses reaching local buyers and the diaspora

Palestinian businesses work under real practical constraints, and many rely on social platforms and the diaspora. I plan Arabic campaigns that reach local buyers and Palestinians abroad.

First steps

Where I would start in Palestine

The first three things I would do for most businesses entering or growing in Palestine, before spending more on ads.

01

02

Start with Facebook and Instagram, with messaging for contact.

03

§ 03 · Rules and timing

Data, consent and timing: what changes in Palestine

Data rules, the working week and the local calendar all shape marketing in Palestine. General information only, not legal advice.

Personal data rules

Rules on personal data are less developed than in many markets, so I apply careful, documented data handling by default and recommend local legal advice.

Ramadan and the local calendar

Ramadan, Eid and national days in Palestine shift browsing and buying, so schedules, messages and budgets follow them.

Working week

Friday is the main weekly day off; many offices also close on Saturday or Sunday.

§ 04 · Working together

How we work together from India to Palestine

I work remotely with clients in Europe, the UAE and India. This is what a working week with a client in Palestine looks like.

01

Time overlap

Palestine is 2.5 to 3.5 hours behind India, so your working morning overlaps with my day.

02

Language

Copy in Arabic is written or checked by a native speaker.

03

Reporting and terms

Monthly plain-English report, written scope and monthly terms.
