For Saudi National Day
National Day ads with festive spirit and no mistakes
Updated
The short answer
Saudi National Day is on 23 September every year, a fixed Gregorian date. CamelShot has no special pack for it: you choose your product and one of the three packs, then describe the festive mood in the creative note, such as green and white accents. You get four designs at 3:4, 1:1 or 9:16, and each image costs one credit. Keep the flag and the national emblem out of commercial ads.
Key takeaways
- The date is fixed on 23 September, so you can plan for it early every year.
- The festive mood comes from the creative note, not a seasonal pack.
- The Saudi flag carries the Shahada, so keep it out of commercial product ads.
- Do not use the official National Day identity unless its guidelines allow it.
- Real offers and their terms belong in the ad text, not inside the image.
When is National Day, and when should you prepare?
Saudi National Day falls on 23 September and marks the unification of the Kingdom and the adoption of its name in 1932. Because the date is fixed in the Gregorian calendar, you can plan weeks ahead without waiting for an announcement.
Many stores launch campaigns in the days before 23 September and run them a little after. Have your designs ready with time to review them, especially if you are preparing several products or several formats.
How to give a design a National Day mood
Write a visual description in the optional creative note, such as: "green and white accents, a bright festive mood, a simple background". The note steers the look only and never adds offers or facts.
| Pack | How to use it for National Day |
|---|---|
| Product launch | Introduce a local or celebratory product with a short headline |
| Product benefits | Feature a real benefit stated in your description |
| Product offer | A clear buying prompt with the listed price |
The design keeps your product's real colours, so the green appears in the background and graphic elements, not on the product itself.
What to avoid in National Day ads
- The Saudi flag: it carries the Shahada, and Saudi rules restrict its use on goods and in commercial advertising. Do not ask for it in the creative note and do not post a design that shows it.
- The national emblem and official identity: the official National Day identity has usage guidelines, so only use it in your ad if they allow it.
- Untrue claims: do not describe a product as locally made or certified unless that is true and documented.
Check the Ministry of Commerce's current guidance before your campaign; it is the reference for these details.
Offers, and what to check before posting
The design does not write discounts, countdowns or occasion-linked numbers such as a discount matching the years since unification. If you have a real offer, put its percentage, terms and dates in the caption or campaign settings.
Before posting:
- Compare the product in each design with the original photo.
- Read every word inside the image and confirm the name and price.
- Make sure the design contains no flag or official logo.
Frequently asked questions
- Is there a special National Day pack?
- No. You choose one of the three packs and add the festive mood with the optional creative note.
- Should I put the Saudi flag in my ad?
- We advise against it. The flag carries the Shahada and its commercial use is restricted, so rely on colours and a festive mood instead.
- When should I start preparing?
- The date is fixed on 23 September, so start a few weeks before to review designs and prepare the formats you need.
- Will the design show a National Day discount?
- No. Put your real offer details in the caption; the product offer pack shows the listed price only.
