Abstract :
Evaluating financial performance allows marketers to measure and assess their contribution to changes in a company's value. Therefore, understanding how marketing affects the financial performance of ornamental plant producers is of great importance. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of sales promotion, market management, and increased market share of ornamental plants on the financial performance of producing companies. This research is classified as applied research in terms of its purpose and is descriptive-survey in nature regarding data collection. Standard questionnaires were used for gathering information. The statistical population of this research includes all marketing managers, financial managers, and senior staff of ornamental plant-producing companies in 2024. Using the Klein and Jackson formula for structural equations, a sample of 125 individuals was randomly selected. Structural equations and Smart PLS 3 software were used to test the research hypotheses. The results of the hypothesis tests indicate that sales promotion, market management, and increased market share positively and significantly affect the financial performance of ornamental plant producers. Based on these results, it can be stated that in today's complex, dynamic, and highly variable environment, ornamental plant producers need to design and adopt strategies that assist in continuously improving their performance. In other words, the outcomes of managers' decisions in such companies are reflected in financial performance metrics through strategies like sales promotion, market management, and increasing market share.
