Hi there,
I hope youre doing well. Id like to involve you in an important project that Im currently working on for my masters course, which also has strong practical value for the date palm industry and my company.
The project is based strictly on the provided course brief (Digital Marketing Strategy research project), and it requires conducting a data-driven analysis of at least 30 companies within a selected industry using tools like Similarweb and Semrush. The goal is to evaluate digital performance and translate findings into actionable strategies.
The selected industry is the date palm sector in the GCC, and I have already identified the following 10 companies:
- hadhim.co
- bateel.com
- alfoah.com
- kingdomdatesuae.com
- thedateroom.com
- albarakahdatesfactory.com
- amalalkhairuae.com
- goldenpalm.biz
- arabiandatesinbulk.com
- nakheel.om
The remaining 20 companies will be part of your scope, and they should be carefully selected to ensure a strong and representative sample (GCC focus, with some high-performing benchmarks if needed).
Project Objective
This project is not just academic it is positioned to identify a major gap in the date palm industry, which is:
Strong production capabilities but weak digital marketing performance (SEO, traffic channels, social media, and online visibility).
