For the Ramadan season
Ramadan ads ready before the crescent appears
Updated
The short answer
CamelShot has no special Ramadan pack. You choose your product and one of the three packs, then describe the mood of the month in the optional creative note, such as warm evening light or a quiet lantern in the background. You get four designs in Arabic or English at 3:4, 1:1 or 9:16, and each image costs one credit. Ramadan follows the Hijri calendar and moves about 11 days earlier each year, so prepare early.
Key takeaways
- The Ramadan mood comes from the creative note and your pack choice, not a seasonal pack.
- Ramadan starts about 11 days earlier each Gregorian year, so check the calendar every year.
- No daytime eating or drinking scenes; evening settings suit the month best.
- No invented discounts or countdowns inside the image; real offer terms go in the ad text.
- Prepare your Ramadan and Eid packs together from your product library.
When does Ramadan start, and when should you prepare?
Ramadan is a Hijri month, and the Hijri year is about 11 days shorter than the Gregorian one, so the month begins roughly 11 days earlier each year. Its start is confirmed after the crescent moon is sighted, so the exact day may only be announced shortly before.
Plan in three phases:
- Before the month: many shoppers stock up early, so prepare ads for products linked to the table and hosting.
- During the month: for many people browsing shifts to the evening and after iftar, so check your store analytics to learn when your audience is active.
- The last ten days: attention turns to Eid and gifts, so have your Eid packs ready before then.
Starting early gives you time to review and test, but it does not guarantee cheaper ads.
How to give a design a Ramadan mood
The optional creative note steers how the design looks, for example: "warm evening light, a quiet lantern in the background, navy and gold tones". It is visual direction only, so it never adds facts or offers to the ad.
| Pack | How to use it in Ramadan |
|---|---|
| Product launch | Introduce a product for the table, hosting or gifting |
| Product benefits | Feature a real benefit from your description, such as a family size |
| Product offer | A clear buying prompt with the price listed on your product page |
Results vary from design to design, so review all four and keep the ones that suit your store.
Respectful Ramadan imagery
- Avoid scenes of eating or drinking in daylight. If you sell food, ask for an evening iftar or suhoor setting.
- Do not place Quranic verses or religious texts in a commercial image.
- If you add an AI persona, choose one dressed modestly in a way that suits the month.
- Keep symbols such as the crescent and lantern as a quiet touch, with the product at the centre of the image.
What to say and what to avoid
The AI writes the headline and call to action from your product details only. It does not add discounts, countdowns, phrases like "last chance" or delivery promises. If you have a real Ramadan offer, put its percentage, terms and dates in the caption or campaign settings, and make sure they match your store.
Before posting, read every word inside the image, confirm the product name and price, and compare the product with the original photo.
Frequently asked questions
- Is there a special Ramadan pack?
- No. The packs are product launch, product benefits and product offer, and you add the Ramadan mood with the optional creative note.
- When should I start preparing Ramadan ads?
- Early enough to review the designs and try more than one idea. Remember that the start moves about 11 days earlier each Gregorian year.
- Will the design show a Ramadan discount?
- No. We never add discounts or deadlines. Put the details of your real offer in the caption or campaign settings.
- Which format suits Ramadan ads best?
- Story 9:16 for stories, and 3:4 or 1:1 for feed posts. If you need the same design in another format, request a new version for one credit.
