Ideas to Develop Omran

Omran is a great company and I have spent some time studying it. Based on my research, which includes observing Omran services, there are Six things what would have a positive economic impact on their business. 1.

Would like to share my knowledge and experience with different professional working in the field. Marketing Communication The way to reach customers in gulf differs from USA and Europe. One of the examples is marketing through web sites. Customers do visit local web sites but will not buy online from a local web site.
