Industry dynamics

What are businesses in Istanbul actually dealing with?

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

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
Cosmetics and personal care

Repeat purchase rates are high, so customer lifetime value matters more than the first sale. Regulation and ingredient claims are the most common blocker when selling abroad. Subscriptions and set bundles raise the margin noticeably.

Typical gross margin
High (55%-75% gross)
Seasonality
Steady year-round
Channels that work
Amazon · Trendyol · Own site · Meta · TikTok Shop
Software and SaaS

Sales run through demos and trials; the metric is not revenue but the number of qualified sign-ups. Content marketing and search visibility are the lowest-cost customer source. In a monthly recurring revenue model, churn is more decisive than growth.
