Turkey Network

Turkey natural stones network

The Turkey natural stones network was the third national naetwork to be created, after Portugal and Spain. In Turkey, the key elements for our project development were the good access to products and suppliers that Guzto has as well as a great potential of the country´s natural stones. We consider Turkey as one of the top 5 markets of the future, both in terms of strategic location for internal/regional market as for export of natural stones.

We are currently developing a main webportal and 20 informative websites about specific natural stones, which include marbles, travertines and limestone. In the near future, we expect to expand this network to up to 30 informative websites.

The outcome

This network is currently under development, therefore we cannot make an overall analysis of its outcome. But our estimations point at a great impact of this network both on the Turkish and international markets. We expect to have 100% of the advertisement sale done during the year of 2011 and to receive a large number of requests from both Turkish and international clients.

In terms of search engines visibility, our estimations are very positive. We expect that the portal and all of the websites will reach the 1st place of the most relevant search engines until the end of 2011. Here, we count on a great and unique content, a dynamic marketing and a solid international network that is already in place that will guarantee a strong and medium term high position of all the Turkey natural stone network.
