How noon ads work

A seller opens noon ads from the seller portal and creates a campaign in one of three formats. Product Ads put a listing into search results and product pages and bill per click, with automatic or manual keyword and product targeting. Brand Ads are the banner-style unit at the top of search, open only to the brand owner or an authorised representative, also per click. Display Ads are impression-based placements open to sellers, distributors and brands; a managed display programme has a minimum of USD 1,500.

Bids and budgets are in the marketplace currency. noon's own help examples use an AED 2 automatic bid, manual keyword bids of AED 1.5 to 3, and an AED 5 CPM for display. The minimum daily budget per campaign is reported as AED 10. Blooprint's noon ads guide on blooprint.in covers the campaign screens; this page covers the terms.

Attributed revenue is counted at full price before discounts and excluding VAT, on a last-touch basis, within 7 days for Product Ads, 14 for Brand Ads, and 7-day view or 30-day click for Display. New-to-brand is tracked for 365 days.

What noon ads cost

Worked example: a seller spends AED 500 in a week on Product Ads at an average AED 1.25 CPC, which is 400 clicks. If 8% convert at an AED 78 average order, attributed sales are AED 2,500 and ROAS is 5, an ACoS of 20%. In rupees at roughly ₹22.5 per dirham that is about ₹11,250 of spend for ₹56,250 of sales.

noon does not publish CPC or ROAS benchmarks and agencies quote general UAE e-commerce figures rather than noon-specific ones, so set targets from your own margin: break-even ROAS is 1 divided by contribution margin after commission and fulfilment fees.

Billing is weekly. Spend is deducted from the revenue statement, or paid by wire if the balance is negative; a card cannot clear a negative balance. A paused campaign can still show charges for clicks that happened before the pause, invalid repeat clicks are not charged, and the spend limit rises as invoices clear.

Noon ads terms sellers ask about

  • noon ads certification: noon's advertiser training for agencies and PPC managers, not a requirement for sellers.
  • noon ads manager: the campaign dashboard inside the seller portal, not a separate product.
  • Promotional credit: ad credit noon grants to some sellers, consumed before cash spend.
  • Namshi: noon's fashion app; there is no separate self-serve ad platform for Namshi sellers today.
  • Yellow Friday: noon's November sale, when CPCs and budgets both rise.
