What it means for a Dubai business

A broadcast channel lands in followers’ inboxes, which is closer than the feed. It suits businesses with a reason to send short, timely updates: an event company announcing dates, a clinic sharing Ramadan opening hours, a studio previewing a project before it goes on the grid.

It works only if people want what you send. Fewer messages with real news keep the channel alive.

Example

A business events series opens a channel for people who attended once. Each month it sends the next date and the topic. Members tap to react and click through to register.

Common mistake

Using it as another place to repost the feed. Members joined for something extra. Give them first news or details nobody else gets.
