Inspiration

Murshed Mohammed Ahmed, one of the co-founders of Yebab.com has observed the tendencies and traditions followed in the Arab matrimonies. There are batch of activities involved in the nuptialss and the whole map can be organized good by spliting into group of similar activities and specializers working on them. He felt that incorporating all these and supplying services to them could be an first-class Emirati matrimony concern and surveyed market to place the functionalities of each of the nuptials related merchandises or sections. He observed that in the Emirati matrimony concern, most of the service suppliers runing from caterers to creative persons, including frock shapers, lensmans, and performing artists do non supply the information which the bride really looks for but focal points on other characteristics which the brides might really non be interested in. Yebab.com started off as a site that would supply an Emirati bride all that she is looking for a matrimony. Identifying this demand for supplying more precise and accurate information sing assorted services for would- be Emirati brides, Yebab.com classified the assorted necessities into 20 classs and offers the information on these services in a simple and easy manner and in Emirati speech pattern so that the brides can understand better.

Idea & A ; Implementation

Inspired by the above inside informations, Murshed Mohammed Ahmed and his spouse Mariam Mohammed Ahmed started Yebab.com.

It is disposed for the site which provides services which include all nuptials related merchandises by the persons from caterers to frock shapers. It besides provides the inside informations of the creative persons, lensmans and traditional instrumentalists who are once more one among the most common nuptials jubilation activities in UAE. Yebab targets local clients merely by supplying services entirely to the Arabic people following Arabic traditions and cater particularly to the Arabic nuptials maps. The basic thought behind the site is to make the bride head straight and supply all those services in traditional and Arabic manner.

With this thought behind the background, both the spouses Mr. Musheed Ahmed and Mariam Ahmed planned to research cyberspace to supply the best of its services. Internet provides flexibleness but demands small overhead. With the aid of internet one can get down gaining before one spends anything. It is the hereafter of any concern. Therefore, by supplying rank to assorted marrying related merchandise specializers and service suppliers, they made an on-line portal supplying Arabians to entree their portal for cognizing approximately best of Arab nuptials services and set up them consequently. This is done sometimes utilizing pictures or images and it caters to a broad scope of gustatory sensations and budgets for the Emirati brides. In this manner, constructing an online web site and portal, Yebab.com has been a successful and profitable concern from the really beginning. The success has grown to such an extent that now the proprietors of the Yebab.com charges the service suppliers to read complete page on Yebab.com.

Keeping this in head, he started online seeking for the proceedings of the concern every bit good as a adult female with free clip and possible to get down up the concern.

Initially Mr. Ahmed has surveyed through their vicinities for the well known service suppliers and ahd observed their procedure of working. Miss Ahmed went through assorted facets of bride and her wants during nuptialss. Both of them so updated their web site with advertizements and services and created a portal for service suppliers to register and publicize themselves.

They did non confront much of hurdlings in the beginning because Yebab.com is the first nuptials portal in the UAE and they succeeded in the market from the really first twenty-four hours. Slowly with growing in the concern and the market, competition increased but Yebab.com maintained their service quality and has sustained in the concern doing new coactions and determinations. For illustration, National Net Ventures which is an Internet keeping company whose nucleus map is to develop online and synergistic ventures particularly web-based, has invested in the Yebab.com. Yebab.com has made such a great bid in the market which forced N2V to put hugeA sum in Yebab.com, specialized in forming marrying jubilations in the UAE. The integrating of both these portals one being a complete nuptials concern portal and other being and investing portal, it would be a great chance offering value to assorted on-line communities particularly adult females communities in the UAE part.

Future Advancement

Yebab.com holding more than 100 listed stores, nuptials merchandises and professional service suppliers makes immense net income. They gain income from the Advertising services every bit good from the minutess made by clients online. Supplying these services they make good sum every bit good as provide clients with better merchandises and trades.

Ms. Ahmed says it is merely a portion of their concern and it is turning at a good gait.
