Ethical Investment
The company who will be affiliated with The
Dawah Project will automatically be seen as
committed to spreading positive knowledge
to the Muslim consumer market and also to
those who want to learn more about the
unknown - Islam, creating a sense of trust
and sound understanding.
The money invested into advertising with The Dawah
Project will be considered as part of their ethical and
social responsibility.
As more Islamic finance companies are trying hard to
get their message across of having an ethical source,
advertising with The Dawah Project will carry a guarantee that the company has made an ethical investment.
This can be seen as helping a local radio project in
Africa or a project in London such as ‘The International
Dawah Centre’. As a Muslim, your investment is accepted as ‘Sadaqah Jaariyah’, a voluntary donation that
is helping The Dawah Project to continue educating
people about Islam. Moreover, when large companies
invest in small organisations or charities, it can lead to
very good publicity for their company.

The Digital Age
More and more people have their own computer, laptop, iPad and Smartphone. The digital industry is always developing, playing a key role in globalising the world.
The number of Internet users is on a rapid rise worldwide and the Internet is being used by people of all ages and backgrounds.
The Internet has become one of the major mediums for communication, entertainment and is indeed in the process of replacing traditional entertainment, promo
products, and informative media. Most of the companies and organizations are relying on digital advertising and marketing techniques to improve their overall sales
and revenue as well as attract a larger global digitalised market.

Social media is an exciting platform because it is growing rapidly in the number of people joining the various social networks. In 2014, Social Times researched that there
were approximately 1.28 billion registered users on Facebook and 1 billion registered users on Twitter. Twitter is currently the fastest growing social networking service. 93
percent of marketers use social media for business and we want to take advantage of this knowing that social media is heavily interlinked with other online platforms.

Email Marketing

The magazine is sent to up to 20,000
supporters of The Dawah Project.
The mailshot is attractive and interactive. When
the mailshot is released, simultaneously it is
announced on our social media - Facebook,
Twitter and Google+, enabling followers to be
informed about the magazine and join the
mailing list.
Social Media Marketing
Sharing an Issuu link on Facebook,
Google+ or Twitter allows our followers
to read the entire publication.
With clips, readers can share any piece of Ilma
that inspires them, to all their favourite social media
sites, driving new readers directly to the publication. The aim is to increase engagement and deliver
educational content directly to readers (your target
audience) on their social networks.

Magazine advert on the homepage, which helps us increase the number of readers following Ilma.

What is the ‘Festive Mailshot’?

The Festive Mailshot is commemorating Islamic festivals and
holy days that are celebrated and observed by 1.6 billion Muslims
around the world.
This particular mailshot is released for Ramadhan, Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha.
The mailshot is promoted on Social Media – Facebook and Twitter reaching an
even wider audience.
This is a great way for your company to send seasonal greetings, promote your
products and services in time for the upcoming festivities. You can promote your
company by providing vouchers and limited time discounts encouraging
consumer spending! It is hassle free as you only need to provide us with your
company’s information and we do the rest! Please enquire with a member of staff
for more information.
Why Advertise Online?
13
The online advertising and marketing scenario is drastically entering a
wider area and in the coming years, one cannot even think of a business
promotion without the help of the Internet.
The advantages of online advertising are many, whether it is through our Ilma magazine or
Festive Mailshots when compared with the traditional advertising and marketing techniques:
Wider Coverage
The online advertising gives your advert a much wider global coverage and
this helps in making your online advertisements reach more audiences, which
may ultimately help you in getting better results through your online
advertising campaign.
Targeted Audiences
If you are targeting predominantly the Muslim Market then look no further!
Through the Festive Mailshot and Ilma Magazine being accessible via both
The Dawah Project and Islam Channel’s websites, you will be targeting the
right audience making your campaign more profitable in a short period of
time! Via online advertising, you not only reach the UK audience, but tap into
the Global Market too! All in return of a small and affordable investment!
Informative and Effortless Audience Engagement
With regards to online advertising, the client is able to convey more details
about the advertisement to the audience and that too at a relatively low cost.
All adverts are hyperlinked to your website! Raising your company
awareness and being only a few clicks away where the users can get more
information about your company and/or product. Not to mention increased
traffic to your company website!

you in full, and you shall not be wronged.”
