Selling into Saudi Arabia
Do not size for bars and pubs
Bars and pubs are a smaller part of Saudi Arabia than elsewhere; plan the pitch around the outlet types that lead here.
Build a cafes and coffee shops list first
Cafes and coffee shops weigh more in Saudi Arabia than elsewhere; give them their own list and pitch.
Qualify in person
Only 19% of outlets in Saudi Arabia list a website, so expect to find and qualify venues on the street rather than online.
