Türkiye’s promotional sector, which handled large-scale orders for items such as hats, flags and banners during the country’s recent local elections, is now gearing up for the upcoming U.S. elections in November.
Mehmet Yuceturk, Chairman of PROMOTURK, revealed: “We have sent 100,000 hats for presidential candidate Trump.”
Yuceturk highlighted that during this year’s local elections, PROMOTURK member companies produced millions of promotional items, including hats, flags, banners, pens, keychains and mugs for political parties.
“We are now expanding our efforts to countries thousands of kilometers away. As the U.S. election nears, demand from that region is increasing. Our member companies are exporting promotional products like flags, banners, pens, mugs, and keychains to the U.S. For instance, as Zirve Sapka, we shipped 100,000 hats to Trump’s campaign at the request of the agency managing his election efforts,” Yuceturk added.
He further explained that the hats Trump wears and distributes to his supporters are proudly marked ‘Made in Turkiye.’
“We produced the 100,000 hats for Trump in just one week and delivered them in under a month,” he added.
Yuceturk, whose factory in Adiyaman employs 600 people and produces 12 million hats annually, noted that the wholesale price of the hats ranges from TL 30 to 500, with the hats made for Trump priced at $2.50 each.
