'Is Ramadan, dastarkhwan par Sukkur ki khajoor.' A clip of dates being packed by hand, then a family box on a table at iftar. Click opens WhatsApp with 'Family box chahiye'.
Facebook & Instagram Ads
For Sukkur date sellers we run Meta ads in the weeks before Ramadan: gift and family boxes aimed at households in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad, bulk offers for offices and charities organising iftar, and click-to-WhatsApp campaigns so buyers order in a chat. You pay Meta directly; we plan creatives, targeting and budgets and adjust them as orders come in.
On the Pro package, PKR 70,000+ per month. Ad spend is separate and paid straight to the platform.
Why it fits
Dates have one peak: the weeks before and during Ramadan, when almost every household buys and many offices, mosques and charities buy in bulk for iftar. Sukkur and Rohri sellers have the product and the origin story, but buyers in big cities usually pick whatever their local shop stocks. Ads can put a Sukkur packer's boxes in front of those families and organisers at the right moment. Timing is critical, because ads that start in the first roza arrive too late for families who stocked up already.
The work

Illustrative starting points, not results. The audit decides the real first move.

Bulk iftar offer outline
For mosques, offices and charities: packs of a fixed size, delivery schedule through Ramadan, invoice on request, one contact person. Ads aimed at office managers and organisers. (Illustrative.)
Several weeks before the first roza, with small tests first and the main spend in the final weeks before Ramadan. Families and bulk buyers plan ahead. Sukkur sellers who wait until Ramadan starts reach people whose dates are already on the shelf, and pay the year's highest ad prices.
Yes, if the offer is built for them. Offices, mosques and charities organising iftar need fixed packs, scheduled delivery and invoices. A separate campaign aimed at organisers and office managers, sending them to WhatsApp, works better than general family ads for Sukkur sellers.
Pitfalls
The city
Every Sukkur engagement is remote. A video call settles the plan, then we work through WhatsApp and a shared Drive folder from Islamabad. You or your staff photograph the dates, cartons, rooms or dishes on a phone; for packaging we work from your samples and measurements. We design, write, build, post and run ads, and the season plan is agreed months ahead so nothing is rushed in Ramadan.

These are the questions we get on WhatsApp every week, answered the way we would answer them there.
WhatsApp usYou pay Meta directly from your own ad account. Our management sits under the Pro package. You see every charge and keep the account, audiences and history for next Ramadan.
Yes, but demand is much lower. Outside Ramadan we usually run small campaigns for gift boxes around Eid and winter, and for health-conscious buyers, while saving most of the budget for the pre-Ramadan weeks.
