Validation ruleA product moves to purchase only after demand, competition, landed cost, fees, PPC allowance, margin, compliance and supplier quality are reviewed together.
Performance objectiveWe work towards about 100% annual return on inventory capital deployed. This is a target, not a guarantee: results depend on product selection, pricing, costs, fees, PPC, competition, conversion, stock turnover, seasonality, returns and platform conditions.

FAQ

Brand launch questions

How long does it take to launch a new brand on Amazon and Noon?

About 9 to 12 weeks of research, sourcing, sampling and ordering, plus 40 to 45 business days of sea freight. Accounts, listings and campaigns are built during freight so products go live as soon as stock is received.

How much inventory capital do I need?

Plans start at AED 20,000. A typical first order is about 200 units per SKU at around AED 30 landed cost, or about AED 6,000 of inventory per SKU, plus cash for ads and freight.

Do I approve the products and suppliers?

Yes. No purchase order is placed until you approve the product, sample, specification, supplier and commercial numbers.

Is this for the UAE, Saudi Arabia or both?

Both. Amazon and Noon are run as one portfolio, in the UAE, Saudi Arabia or both countries, with listings, ads and operations tuned per marketplace.
