Industry dynamics

What are businesses in Kastamonu actually dealing with?

The same service does not do the same thing in every industry. Here is the picture in the leading sectors of Kastamonu:

Food and agricultural products

Margins are thin in food and volumes are large; packaging, geographical indication and shelf-life management are what set sellers apart. A product sold as a commodity is stuck at the per-kilo price, while the same product sold under a brand can go up to three times higher. Cold chain and expiry dates dictate the promotion calendar directly.

Typical gross margin
Thin (12%-25% gross)
Seasonality
Harvest and religious holiday periods are decisive
Channels that work
Trendyol · Amazon · Getir/Migros marketplace · Own site · Etsy (dry goods)
Performance fee
Low-margin category — half rate
Mining and raw materials

Prices follow exchange and commodity indices; marketing sells access and trust, not price. The buyer side is corporate and the decision cycle is long. Certificates, analysis reports and capacity documents belong at the center of the digital presence.

Typical gross margin
Thin, volume-driven
Seasonality
Annual contracts set the pace
Channels that work
Own site (multilingual) · LinkedIn · B2B directories

Low-margin category — half rate
Furniture and wood products

Because the goods are bulky, logistics and assembly are part of the price. Image quality and room photography are the main driver of conversion. Made-to-measure production forces an own-site and quote flow rather than marketplaces.

Medium (30%-50% gross)
Seasonality
