Noon, the Middle East’s largest online shopping platform, will use the high-street fashion segment as a central plank in its strategy to dominate the region’s fast-growing e-commerce sector.
The retail powerhouse has announced that it will offer hundreds of exclusive fashion brands, five times more than its nearest competitor. Buyers will also be able to choose from more than three million products, in what will be a game-changing online retail experience for the region.
The founder of Noon, Emaar Properties Chairman Mohamed Al-Abbar, said: “For too long, consumers who want to buy fashion online in the Middle East have suffered from a lack of variety. The launch of Noon will change the regional online shopping experience for fashion forever.”
“Fashion will be at the very heart of the Noon experience. We will offer more brands and products than any of our competitors. We will also launch with a large private label collection that will offer unmatched value to the customer. Noon’s fashion platform will be offered with a level of customer service that has not been seen in the region before. The sheer scale of our offering will also allow us to provide our customers with prices that will be impossible to beat.”
As well as the variety and number of products on offer, Noon will also bring best-in-class customer service and the fastest delivery times to fashion-conscious consumers.
Noon, which was founded last year by Al-Abbar, who is leading the company in a joint venture with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund and prominent GCC investors, will launch in January.
Noon will offer 20 million products covering fashion, books, home and garden, electronics, sports and outdoor, health and beauty, personal care, toys, kids and baby products, among others.
The company will also provide same-day delivery through Noon Transportation, an in-house express delivery service. Payment will be conducted via NoonPay, a secure and innovative online gateway.
