What Daymod does

Daymod is a Turkish vertically integrated hosiery manufacturer and direct-to-consumer retailer, founded in 1984 as Uğur Çorap and headquartered at its own factory in the Beylikdüzü Organized Industrial Zone in Istanbul. The company designs, manufactures, and sells women's, children's, and baby socks and hosiery — including pantyhose, ankle and below-knee socks, knee-high and thigh-high socks, leggings, ballet-flat socks, thermal and plush lines, school socks, and custom-branded promotional products — through its own e-commerce storefront at daymod.com with domestic Turkish shipping via MNG Cargo. Production capacity reached 27 million pairs annually as of 2010, with historical export reach to the Middle East, Europe, West Asia, and Africa.

The underlying technology stack is a conventional Turkish e-commerce implementation: the storefront runs on Ticimax CMS with SSL/SET-encrypted payment processing, Google Analytics and Yandex Metrica for traffic and behavior analytics, and Qualaroo for on-site user feedback. Manufacturing is supported by fully automatic machines in a fully integrated factory established in 2002, with quality and environmental management systems certified under ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and OHSAS, plus annual third-party social compliance audits.

Revenue is generated through one-time unit sales of socks and hosiery at VAT-inclusive prices ranging from approximately ₺162 to ₺532, with credit card and bank transfer/EFT payment options and free domestic shipping on orders of ₺2,000 or more. The customer base is composed of Turkish women, children, and baby consumers purchasing for daily, school, and special-occasion use, plus a small corporate/promotional channel for branded bulk orders. The company operates as a private Turkish partnership (Süleyman Ercüment Gün ve Ortakları) with no institutional investors, no parent company, and no disclosed subsidiaries, and has historically transitioned from physical retail to online direct sales as its primary channel.
