The pattern
This commercial ad is filed under Seasonal offer first.
Define
The season is the offer. National Day, back-to-school, Hajj travel, White Friday. The calendar leads. The SKU follows.
Mechanism
Occasion-first merchandising. When the market is already shopping, burying the number loses to whoever puts 30% in the first line.
Verdict
A real regional occasion will move the category
Why it works
The photo has no text, logo or price: a tan sofa, a black and white patterned cushion, a yellow lamp and a small glass on a side table, a room at rest. The caption supplies the occasion and the tone, احتفل باليوم الوطني برواق من راحة بيتك (celebrate National Day at ease, from the comfort of your home), so the post sells a calm day at home rather than a discount before it mentions offers online.
The big idea
Celebrate National Day at ease at home: IKEA sells the holiday as a calm day on the sofa, with a styled living room and no price in sight.
The offer
The caption points to IKEA's offers online; the image names no product, price or date.

Steal this when
Use when a home brand can frame a public holiday as a quiet day at home and let one styled room carry the mood.
