Post-Privacy Marketing: Where Should Dirhams Go After iOS 17?

Apple’s tracking rules slashed ad-platform accuracy, but sales haven’t died—they’ve just shifted.
2025 ROAS Benchmarks (UAE E-Com)
Channel | Pre-iOS 17 | 2025 | Budget Move |
---|---|---|---|
Meta Ads | 4.2× | 3.1× | –10 % |
Google Search | 3.5× | 3.6× | +5 % |
Influencers | 2.8× | 4.0× | +12 % |
SMS / WhatsApp | 6.0× | 6.5× | +8 % |
Action Plan
- Shift 10 % of spend to owned channels (SMS, email).
- Judge campaigns on customer-lifetime value, not day-7 ROAS.
- Finance big ad bursts with a 90-day marketing line; repayments land after revenue comes in.
