Jumbo Group’s Post

Since announcing my entrepreneurial venture and the launch of Channelplay Middle East in Riyadh, I’ve often reflected on why sales and retail have always been a deep passion of mine. Growing up in a family of traders, the world of commerce surrounded me—my father ran a grocery store, my uncles owned hardware and paint shops, and my maternal uncle sold glass and plywood. Trade wasn’t just business; it was about community, trust, and relationships. I was fortunate to witness the magic of those connections firsthand. Walking through the vibrant bazaars of Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam, I feel that same sense of connection. The rich history and community spirit of the general trade here take me back to my roots. At the same time, the large-format stores and the rise of modern trade reflect an evolving landscape—one driven by data, insights, and technology. At Channelplay, we bring together the best of both worlds. We harness the power of technology, program management, and KPI-driven strategies to help clients make impactful decisions in modern and traditional(General) trade environments. Our services, including Visual Merchandising, Sales outsourcing, Loyalty programs, Mystery shopping, and audit services, ensure our clients stay ahead in this competitive market and are all backed by our Full Channel-Tech Stack. The art and science of selling have always fascinated me, and I’m excited to learn from this dynamic market while helping our clients grow. https://lnkd.in/dkG5eC4Y The journey continues, and I couldn’t be more excited! #Retail #Channelplay #KSA #Sales #TraditionMeetsModern

My thoughts after watching this webinar. Shopping malls and shopping centers have the potential to greatly enhance the Pakistani retail market and Pakistan will be another tourist shopping destination or attraction as well. To achieve this, stakeholders can consider adopting successful business models from other developing countries in Asia. Pakistan can create a thriving retail industry that showcases local products from all provinces, provides a unique shopping experience, and attracts foreign tourists. This can have a positive impact on the economy and contribute to the country's growth.

🟣 What do I buy into? 🟣 I buy into the world’s #2 cola. The world’s #1 didn't reach the region until after I was born, so PepsiCo became my habitual choice, just like it did for millions of others. I buy into deep nostalgia, simpler times, and the pride in watching the regional underdog triumph over an international giant. (Chips Oman till I die ✊) I buy into sustainability. Tap water isn’t an option in the UAE, so I choose high-quality, local Masafi LLC. Our choices are rooted in so much more than hunger, thirst or necessity. If you’re an SME (of any kind) what does your brand truly sell? What might your customers have a taste for? 🟣 If you’re ready to give them something to really buy into, let’s talk. 🟣 www.violet-rae.com #BrandStrategy #BrandIdentity #MarketingStrategy #UAEStartups #UAESmallBusiness #DubaiStartups #DubaiEntrepreneurs #AbuDhabiStartups #EntrepreneurshipUAE #SMEUAE
