As bespoke Islamic Branding practice, Layla Mandi offering expert practical advice on how to build brands that appeal to Muslim consumers.
In 90% of Muslims say that their faith affects their consumption.This holds true whether in majority or minority Muslim populations.
In an economic model where products and communications are increasingly sophisticated in targeting consumer needs, Muslims are rightly expectant that their own consumer needs should be met on the high street and online, and that brands will address their consumption requirements.
