what does social media
management cost in dubai?

The honest answer: it depends on what you need it to do. There is no meaningful standard price, because a venue posting twice a week and a brand running daily content across three platforms are completely different jobs. Here is what actually drives the number.

  • scoped to the outcome
  • content made in-house
  • no off-the-shelf packages

asked often.

So what does it cost?

We don't publish prices, because we don't sell packages. Cost follows scope: how many channels, how many shoot days, how much content per month, and whether paid campaigns sit on top. Tell us the outcome you're after on WhatsApp and we'll scope it properly.

Why are some agencies so much cheaper?

Usually because the content is stock, templated or repurposed, and the reporting is a screenshot of follower counts. You get what you pay for: a retainer that includes real shoot days, editing and strategy costs more because it produces work that actually moves bookings.

What should a proper retainer include?

Strategy, a monthly content calendar, shoot days at your venue, editing, publishing, community management and a report that shows what the content did, reach, saves, enquiries, bookings. If any of those are missing, ask why.

Is it worth it for a single venue?

Yes, when it's scoped honestly. For most Dubai restaurants and venues, consistency beats volume, two strong reels a week that look like your brand will outperform daily filler.
