Digital Agency for Başkale, Van
Practical digital steps for livestock farms, highland producers and roadside businesses in the high Zab valley.
Başkale is one of Turkey’s highest district towns, set in the Great Zab (Zap) valley on the eastern slopes of the Southeastern Taurus, with the Iranian border running along its east. Farmland covers only a small part of the district, while wide highland pastures make livestock the natural centre of the economy.
For livestock farms we begin with WhatsApp Business and short, honest videos of the herd, then a one-page website once buyers start coming from further away. Highland dairy producers can build on the reputation of Van breakfast and Van herb cheese, starting with buyers in Van and nearby provinces before shipping further.
Drivers passing through Başkale look for help on their phones, so fuel stations, restaurants and repair shops benefit from complete, seasonally updated Google Business Profiles. Ads run in short, targeted windows such as the weeks before Kurban Bayramı.
Racoun works from its only office in Ataşehir, Istanbul, with online meetings and planned shoot visits. The first consultation is free.
