Industry dynamics

What are businesses in Samsun actually dealing with?

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

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
Machinery and industrial manufacturing

Decisions are measured in weeks and run through quotes; the goal is not a direct sale but collecting qualified demand. Technical documents, video and a reference list lift conversion noticeably. Spare parts and service produce steadier revenue than the machines themselves.

Typical gross margin
Medium-high
Seasonality
Tied to capital budgets, busiest at year-end
Channels that work
Google Ads · Own site (multilingual) · LinkedIn · YouTube · B2B directories
Logistics and trade

This is service selling; it runs on quotes and a trust relationship. Corporate buyers look for certificates, capacity and references. "From where to where" style search queries carry the highest-intent traffic.
