Many UAE business owners won’t admit this. 🤫 But we all face immense challenges during the summer months. For Coffee Architecture, and our beautiful location along Soul Beach in Abu Dhabi, it means we lose many new customers who may pop in while swimming, sunbathing or walking along the promenade. In fact, Soul Beach was closed for more than six months this year which meant we needed to pivot. Jim Kwik says, “Difficult times can diminish us, define us or develop us. We decide.” I stand by this in everything I do. A few weeks ago I revealed Coffee Architecture’s specialty drive-through concept with ADNOC. It’s a way for us to sustain our business throughout the year - come rain, sunshine or desert heat. 😅 In addition, I’ve also embarked on a new mentorship journey empowering female entrepreneurs in the region. There’s nothing more powerful than a group of women coming together to solve business challenges with compassion and creativity. 🫶 What business challenges have you overcome lately? Or, what challenges do you still face that my network might be able to help?

Both UAE and KSA have delivered exactly the same growth in SalesTrack Week 18, 2024. Yet, YTD distribution curves of participating chains indicate different conditions in both markets. That is why market averages at a point in time can be deceiving. Since SalesTrack service began in UAE & KSA 7 years ago, it has always had some brands with positive sales in intensively negative periods for that market and vice versa. The question to ask is: Whether the market average is negative or positive, is my brand beating the best in the category? #data Photo credit: https://lnkd.in/gtbg_fVY

Dubai is a land of opportunity, Last time we went we became partners of DAMAC Properties 3 months before that we where out meeting with some UHNWI (Ultra High Net-Worth Individuals) at the Atlantis Royal 💎 You can love it or hate it but do yourselves a favour and visit with an open mind before making an opinion 🙏 90% of Dubai’s residing population are foreigners and they bring in 100,000s of tourists annually. And the Dubai government are not stopping, yesterday they announced their 3 year budget from 2025-2027 of $74 Billion (272 Billion Dirhams/AED). Putting that into public services, business development, property development and overall funding the city so it can grow and prosper. 📈 Meanwhile with the UK government budget today… I don’t need to say anything, there is no comparison. This isn’t me saying everyone should get up and move but definitely don’t be closed to the idea of investing and at least benefiting from the opportunity! 💸 At COA Investments we can help you with that, whatever your budget and experience our team can advise you on your options and best choices for you to make the best educational decision for yourself and your future. 🤝 If you’re interested I’m always here to help, so drop me a message or go straight to the website www.coainvestments.com Looking forward to speaking with you 👏 - Brad #dubaiproperty #propertyinvestment #opportunity #investmentopportunity #entrepreneur

An interesting article from THE WEEK detailing how premium retail brands are moving into the real estate sector. Of course, when it comes to branded residences, #Dubai has led the world for many years. AHS Properties' strategic partnership with FF Design - Fendi Casa to develop Casa Canal is just one of countless examples of how luxury brands, property developers, and residents benefit from these collaborations. It's great to see that other high-end real estate markets like Miami are taking notice. #brandedresidences #luxury #realestate https://lnkd.in/demkJBif
