Abstract :Medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) products became more popular during and after the Covid-19 pandemic. MAPs production and marketing could be accepted as a niche business. The purpose of this study is to examine the marketing strategies of a MAPs producing company from Türkiye. Using case study, data is gathered via interviews, observations and secondary sources. Findings showed that the company succeeded a prudent progress in various market segments basing on its market orientation culture and use of different market distribution channels. Every distribution channel had a different market segment as well as a different structure. The company learned from its market experiences and orientation.
