<\/figure>\n\n\n\nToday we're listing these 5 pitfalls, and you can save at least 3 months of trial and error by reading them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u274c Pit 1: Thinking Arabic isn't important and listing in English is fine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Fact: Arabic listings on the Noon platform get 2-3 times more traffic than English-only listings.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Middle Eastern users have a strong preference for local languages, and Noon's algorithm also prioritizes pushing items with Arabic descriptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n prescription<\/strong>: The listing must be bilingual (English+Arabic), the Arabic part is best to find a native language translator, machine translation will have semantic bias, affecting user experience and conversion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n the actual facts<\/strong>: Middle Eastern consumer preferences are significantly different from Amazon's.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Noon offers two logistics models:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Where's the pit?<\/strong> Many sellers ship directly into the FBN warehouse, but do not understand Noon's inbound specifications, resulting in goods being rejected or relabeled, incurring additional costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n prescription<\/strong>: Read Noon's labeling and packaging specifications carefully before entering the warehouse, or simply ask an experienced service provider to do it for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Both the UAE and Saudi Arabia have a VAT system:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many sellers don't understand the local tax regulations and listings are priced without considering VAT, leading to erosion of profits and even facing tax risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n prescription<\/strong>: Understand local VAT registration and filing requirements before moving in, and calculate tax costs in advance when pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Noon's billing period is usually30-45 days after sale<\/strong>Payback, which is quite a bit longer than Amazon's 14 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the case of sellers with large stockpiles, the cash flow pressure can be very pronounced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n prescription<\/strong>: Cooperate with the use of third-party cross-border collection platforms (e.g., Lianlian Payment, PingPong, etc.), some of which support advance payment and can alleviate the pressure on the account period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The opportunity for Noon is real, but one needs to do their homework before entering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These 5 potholes, which our team has helped over 100 sellers step on and fix, are summarized in this methodology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to get into Noon, it's recommended to get someone with hands-on experience to take you through the process and take at least 6 months less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udcf1 Scan the code to make an appointment for \"Noon inbound free diagnosis\", tell us about your product and we'll help you decide if it's suitable for you!<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Middle East market, one of the fastest growing cross-border e-commerce blue oceans in the last two years.<\/p>\n Noon, as the largest local e-commerce platform in the Middle East, has the financial support of the Saudi royal family and the Dubai government behind it, and is the local version of \u201dAmazon\u201d.<\/p>\n But many cross-border sellers entering Noon for the first time step into some completely avoidable potholes.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":9066,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,18,13],"tags":[891,837,660,165,125,36],"class_list":["post-9061","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-allguide","category-recomguide","category-guide","tag-891","tag-noon","tag-takealot","tag-165","tag-125","tag-36"],"yoast_head":"\n\u274c Pit 2: Copying Amazon's picks over to you<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
