Industry dynamics

What are businesses in Izmir actually dealing with?

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

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
Textile and apparel

Contract manufacturing squeezes margins; a producer that moves to its own brand earns several times more from the same product. Size-color variant management and the return rate affect profit more than ad spend does. Season changes make stock-clearing campaigns unavoidable.

Typical gross margin
Medium (25%-45% gross)
Seasonality
Two main seasons, discount pressure at the transitions
Channels that work
Trendyol · Hepsiburada · Amazon · Own site · Instagram
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.

Typical gross margin
