Industry dynamics

What are businesses in Sinop actually dealing with?

Tourism and hospitality

Direct booking is the most profitable channel because it removes the agency commission. A multilingual site and language-based advertising move occupancy directly. Creating demand in the off-season is worth more than optimizing price in high season.

Typical gross margin
High (on direct bookings)
Seasonality
Very sharp seasonal swing
Channels that work
Google Ads · Google Hotel · Meta · Own site (multilingual) · TripAdvisor
Handicrafts and jewelry

Story and craft narrative are the main source of the price premium. Foreign buyers pay noticeably more for handmade Turkish goods than the domestic market does. Small volume and high margins take shipping cost off the table.

Typical gross margin
High (50%+ gross)
Seasonality
Gift and new year periods
Channels that work
Etsy · Amazon Handmade · Instagram · Own site · Pinterest
Seafood and fisheries

Because the product is perishable, cold chain and delivery speed are the business model itself. Local selling and shipped selling have completely different cost structures. Seasonal fishing bans necessarily shape the sales calendar.

Typical gross margin
Thin (12%-22% gross)
Seasonality
Fishing season and bans are decisive
