As we know in this world only one thing is permanent and that is the change itself. The culture, style and habits of people are very rapidly changing. Besides other reasons, media plays critical role in this regard. Take the case of UAE where local people and society is not much advanced. But, they are moving with shoulder to shoulder with the western societies. They have ultra modern architecture, automobiles, digital gadgets and much more. In the Gulf region, UAE is the most advance country. After years of struggle, the people of UAE have now entered in the I.T industry. The local people have developed many amazing websites. In this article I will put light on some best UAE based online shopping websites.

In the initial years people were not relying on the online shopping in the UAE. They prefer to go physically for the shopping and receive the products at the time of payment. Furthermore, there were not much trusted local websites. Those websites which were functioning were not very much famous. They have not done any great job in order to brand their websites in the country. The elite class people were feeling easy on the western websites for online shopping like Amazon and EBay. Although they were delivering the products after 7 to 10 day, people still bought products from these websites. The main reason was that these websites were trusted. And, they had spent handsome amount in branding their services in all over the world. Following are some reasons for the growing trend of online shopping.

Cost Effective:

Without any shadow of doubt, we can say that online shopping saves our money. Now you might thing how it saves. The best answer is that most of the shopping websites are giving us discounts and free vouchers. The prices of products are also reasonable as compare to those of departmental stores and malls.

Time Effective:

Today online shopping websites are delivering the ordered products on the same day. I am writing this in the context of UAE shopping websites. Within some hours they are reaching at your door. Now you have not to wait long days to reach the product. It now matter of hours to shop best things at the most competitive rates.

Wide Variety:

These websites have contracted with large companies. On the other hand some websites have given direct access to the companies. These companies directly put their products in the websites for sale. In this way a large variety is parked at the same websites. The visitors find all kinds of products in wide range of prices and standard.

Payment on Delivery:

It has been observed that many shopping websites are giving option to pay at the time of delivery. According to a survey, 55% people prefer to cash on delivery. In the last some years the data of credit cards is not saved. So people are avoiding the payment via credit cards.

The above mentioned reasons of growing online shopping in the UAE would be confirmed after reviewing the local UAE websites. One more important thing about the UAE shopping websites, they are not limited to only home appliances or digital products. They range from hotel booking to fashion related products.

Namshi.com is also growing at very fast pace. Like the souq, they deliver the products in the all region without any extra charges. The clients have the option to pay while at the time of delivery. The range of products at namshi is also very large. For the males and females there is separate area of shopping. All the world’s leading brands are available there and mostly they offer discounts. The overall performance of namshi is satisfied.

Aido.com has revolutionized the concept of online shopping in UAE. It has all the features which a client expects from the online shopping website. They give 14 day return policy which means if you are not happy with the product, you can return it according to certain terms and conditions. The option of cash on delivery is also available which every client wants to avail it. They also deliver the products in all over the UAE free of charge. Their delivery time is most probably from four to five hours.

Gloriahoteldubai.com is the best online hotel and restaurant providing service website. Most of the Gloria group units are located in Dubai. It caters the services for the business and tourists. They have different packages for the meeting, conference or visiting peoples.

Supermart.com is also good website for the online shopping. Its range of products and brands is very limited. Its overall share in the online shopping is also very low.

Quickdubai.com is best for those people have to send the gift to their loved ones. The products for the gift range from flowers to chocolates to toys. In addition, they have separate gifts for the different occasions like mother’s day, father’s day, ramzan etc.

The trend of online shopping in UAE is increasing day by day. It has so many reasons. The government has also taken some steps to make the online transactions more secure. Every state is maintaining a list of registered websites. The people should get complete knowledge of website before providing credit card information. In the next five years it is expected the online shopping in the UAE would increased by four times.

There are so many standards on which the ranking of website is measured. But, the most common and authentic standard is traffic on the website. The traffic on any website might be come through search engines (organic) or through sponsored links, ppc or advertise (inorganic). Other factors which help to attract the traffic are web designing, web development, its content, layout, the work of SEO and how much it is user friendly. Besides these things, the subject or theme of the website is also important in the ranking. Like in UAE, the most success subjects of the websites are business, tourism, hotel, news and fun. You will also find these subjects in the following given list.

In last days, a survey was published about the 20 big websites which are located or owned by the citizen of UAE. One interesting thing was that, the category of ecommerce website was not included. To confirm the results of survey, I have manually visited all the websites. These websites were really well designed and have huge traffic per day. If you will visit these websites, you will also experience their design is interactive, responsive and easy for the user. The users never fed up on these websites, but enjoy as much as they are there. On the other hand, these websites have handsome traffic from all over the world in general and gulf region in particular. Following is the list of big websites in the UAE, their design can be proved helpful for you if you the dream of having a big website.

Which Topics are Famous in UAE?

UAE is an Islamic country. Owing to its ideal location, it is the trade and business hub. The standard of education is very poor. To fill the gap of skilled and unskilled labor, people of developing countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and China are hired. The local people have enough money and have no much interest in education, research, social services and philanthropy.

The above concise profile of UAE suggests that the most favorite topics of websites are number 2 and 4 from the above list. The business and Trade related websites are more famous because a large number of companies and multinationals (MNCs) are operating there. UAE is the second most attractive country for the commercial activities. You would find many real estate, company profile and ecommerce related websites.

To enjoy the beauty of UAE, tourists from all over the world come. I hope now you would have got the idea of why entertainment and fun topic is favorite. I have seen a lot of UAE websites which are related to hotel, tourism, massage and shopping festivals related websites.

Letterhead is the printed sheet of a company. It is used for the formal and informal communication of the company. The standard page size is A4, but because of some lengthy designs it is printed on A5 as well. It is one part of stationery and considered to be most important tool because it contains the logo, address, color or any other sign of the company. So, all the big business entities are trying to have the best letterheads. It reflects the standard of the company.

In our daily life, we had seen so many letterheads in the schools, universities, hospitals, companies etc. I have always seen, the large companies have best designs, decent colors and expensive printed material. The reason is that, the letterhead is the communication tool of the company. The best communication tool will definitely capture the mind of viewer. In the short and long term, the viewers will hold positive remarks for the company. In addition, through letterhead the profile and identity of the company in general public is rolling. That’s why it is considered to be best tool of marketing as well. In this collection post, I have collected 30 best corporate letterheads. I hope you will learn a lot of from this collection. These letterheads are decent and designed by the experienced designers.

In old good days, things were simple and cheap. But today, in every industry there are thousands of competitors. Now winning the race is more difficult. Every business is spending handsome amount through different marketing tools in order to have lasting impression. They want to win the loyalty of clients and general public as well. Among these tools, stationery design is cheap and best tool to send the strong message of the company to the viewers. Stationery design is the broad concept which includes business card, letterhead, flayer, folder, brochure, envelopes, and many more things. These things are usually used in daily life and some are important for the communication purposes.

As we know Dubai is the hub of commercial activities. Thousands of multinational companies have opened their units. As mentioned above, all the business entities required stationery for various purposes. If stationery would be designed good and best material is applies, it will definitely be good source of winning the hearts of people. In the Dubai city, you will hardly find good graphic designers. The majority of designing companies in the Dubai have hired people from the India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and like other developing countries. They are available at very cheap rate owing to little earning opportunities in their home countries. To take a detailed view of the stationery in the Dubai companies, I have spent seven days in collecting the information.

Business Cards in the Dubai:

According to the area of the city, Dubai holds 117th position. Whereas, CBRE report says, Dubai is the second most attractive city of the world for business purposes. Now you can understand the importance of business card in this small city where interaction rate of official persons is frequent. Many companies are offering designing services for the business cards. In my research, InsightSoft is best company. It charges reasonable rate and have the best team which understands the requirements of clients. Second thing, they have thousands of available templates which help the clients to select the design based on industry.

Brochures design in the Dubai:

Like business card, brochure is also best tool of marketing. Brochure consists of two to five sheets and includes all the information, packages, team and contact information. They are distributed by hand or mail. Not only in the Dubai, but also in all over the world the demand of brochure is increasing. In my search, in Dubai two sheet-brochures are in great demand. As we know there are professional people who turn deaf ear to the lengthy material of reading. They prefer to concise and informative material for reading because of time issue.

Letterheads in the Dubai:

Letterhead is the heart of stationery and most common thing in all types of organizations. It is the sheet or page which consists of all the information of the company like logo, address, catchy headline etc. Business entities prefer letterheads for the official communication. It is equally important in hard and soft communication. In Dubai, there is barrage of companies and everyone is in dire need of letterheads. Many designing and printing entities are there to fill the gap. Again I will suggest for the InsigthSoft for designing the letterhead. As it is the most important part of stationary and directly reflect the position of the company. So, you should be careful while hiring the services.

Logo Design in the Dubai:

Logo designing; I think everyone have listened about the logo. But, designing the best logo always remained challenge. In spite of the crowd of logo designing companies, you would still face music while designing the logo. In the market, many amateur designers are working who don’t know the psychology of colors, typography, negative space and many other important things of the logo designing. They are just running behind the old concept of COPY-PASTE. Logo is the front representation of the company. Today Dubai is not considered to be illiterate and backward city. It is international city and the companies operating here know very well the standard of the market. They are paying heavy attention for the stationery designing in general and logo designing in particular. They have world class logos of the world like Emirates, Emaar, Palm city etc.

The stationery design in the Dubai is today carried in professional way. It is because of the availability of the designers from all over the world. Dubai is the home of commercial and business activities. Without any shadow of doubt, stationery is basic component of all types of firms. They require it for the marketing purposes and running day-to-day communication with the employees and other business partners. It is small city where meeting with official people is quite common. So, all the entities are trying to spread their company information in the city with the help of stationery tools.

The best and most decent style of introducing themselves in the business atmosphere is through business cards. Because, most of the times you are at the place where talking is not allowed e.g. meeting, conference or seminar. In addition, the interchange of single card conveys all the necessary information which we want to tell the others. Although in the current times so many tolls of introducing are developed but the importance of business cards remain intact.

There are so many types of business cards depend upon the design and usage of industry. Among them, corporate business card is the heart. The designing, color selection and material to be used in the corporate card matters a lot. Only an experienced designer can design the best corporate business card. He very carefully applies the colors, type and size of font, design and all other things. If you would see the following some best cards, they have incorporated all the necessary information of the employee and company in which he is working.
