International fairs are very important for export. Because fairs are one of the most effective methods of presenting the products you produce in your country to potential customers with examples. If you are planning to sell your product only in your country, you may not need international fairs. However, if you want to export your products and you want to introduce your products to potential customers with samples, the most effective advertising method is fairs. Regardless of the sector, many small and medium-sized companies prefer international fairs to promote their products and services in the international market.
International fairs can be very costly, especially for small and medium-sized companies. States provide fair support to companies that want to participate in international fairs. These supports can be offered in the form of fair rent, accommodation costs or ease of transportation. Some fair supports cover all the costs, while others cover a part of these costs.
In Turkey, international fairs are supported within the framework of the provisions of the Turkish Commercial Laws. Expenditures made by companies that are members of exporters' associations and organizers of fairs held abroad are supported.
Documentation support offered to exporters is quite extensive. Documents may differ according to the country of export. There are two types of document support. The first includes mandatory documents that will provide advantages and enable the company to enter foreign markets and receive support in the markets. The other is the support for increasing the production of the company.
50% of the expenditures made for the mandatory documents to be prepared while exporting is repaid by the relevant ministry.
