Sama Gardenia

Sama (Gardenia) produces high-quality Turkish chocolate spreads, cookies, and tea with export-grade standards

Project Description

Sama (Gardenia) produces high-quality Turkish chocolate spreads, cookies, and tea with export-grade standards, the challenge was not the product quality, but the lack of a structured B2B Market Entry strategy outside Turkey, the brand needed to transition from “selling products” to “selling a sustainable business model” to distributors in Libya, Iraq, Morocco, and beyond

Seven Grounds engineered a comprehensive GTM (Go-To-Market) Playbook for Sama, we redefined their value proposition around two pillars: “One Distributor Per City” (ensuring price stability and profit margins) and “Rapid Private Labeling” (allowing large distributors to launch their own brands within weeks), by implementing a rigorous B2B digital funnel—filtering leads by warehouse capacity and distribution force—we transformed Sama into a highly sought-after partner, we didn’t just find buyers; we built a disciplined distribution network that ensures long-term market dominance and shelf velocity

Why This Project Matters

We moved beyond vanity ads to a strict “Qualification Funnel.” Using Meta and LinkedIn, we captured high-intent distributors and filtered them based on logistics, storage, and monthly volume before they even reached the sales team

We leveraged Sama’s manufacturing speed as a competitive edge, by offering “Your Own Brand in Weeks,” we attracted high-level wholesalers who wanted exclusivity and brand ownership in their local markets

 In established markets like Libya, we ran dual campaigns: Pull (consumer awareness to drive retail demand) and Push (directing shop owners to authorized distributors), ensuring rapid inventory turnover

We designed a city-by-city expansion plan, focusing on major hubs like Erbil and Tangier-Med, by using localized “Hooks” and B2B-centric content, we reduced the Cost Per Lead (CPL) while maintaining high lead quality
