Ticari ürünler gibi şehirler de kendilerine özgü pazarda markalama stratejilerini kullanarak rekabet etmektedirler. Ancak markalama stratejileri, şehirleri rakiplerinden farklılaştırarak yalnızca daha fazla ziyaretçi çekecek bir turizm destinasyonu yaratmaya hizmet etmemektedir. Bunun ötesinde, şehir markalaşması kapsamında olan yerleşimci ve yatırımcılar da şehirlerin kazanmaya çalıştıkları paydaşlardandır. Dolayısıyla, markayı yeni yatırımcılar ve girişimcilere tanıtan bir şehir marka kimliğinin oluşturulması önemlidir. Buna göre, çalışmanın amacı yatırımcılar ve girişimciler perspektifinden şehrin ticari marka kimliği öğelerinin Muğla ili özelinde nasıl bir karşılık kazandığını incelemektir. Bu kapsamda, yüz yüze görüşme yöntemiyle, şehir marka kimliği öğeleri üzerinden Muğla ilinin ticari misyonu, vizyonu, değerleri, kişiliği, ayırt edici özellikleri ve yararları belirlenerek şehrin marka kimliği modeli oluşturulmuştur. Marka kimliği öğelerinin nasıl bir anlam kazandığını incelemenin, hedeflenen yatırımcılara ve girişimcilere şehri tanıtma yolunda yararlı bir araç olduğu düşünülmektedir. Çalışmanın bulguları, yalnızca Muğla iliyle sınırlı olmakla birlikte; çalışmada, hem akademik hem de uygulama boyutuyla gittikçe ilgi çeken şehir markalaşması literatüründe nispeten daha az üzerinde durulmuş ticari paydaşlara odaklanılmaktadır
As commercial products, cities compete by performing branding strategies in their own market. However branding strategies serve not only to create a tourism destination attracting more visitors by differentiating from its rivals. Further to that, residents and investors are also the stakeholders that cities target within city branding. Therefore developing a city brand identity that introduces the city to new investors and entrepreneurs is important. Accordingly, the aim of the study is to examine how the commercial city brand identity elements make sense specific to Muğla province from the perspective of investors and entrepreneurs. In this context, with face-to-face interview method, Muğla city brand identity model was proposed by defining commercial mission, vision, values, personality, distinguishing preferences and benefits of the city through city brand identity elements. It is regarded that analyzing the meanings of brand identity elements is an effective tool in order to promote the city to targeted investors and entrepreneurs. As well as the findings of the study is limited to Muğla province, commercial stakeholders, who were paid less attention in city branding literature that is increasingly getting more attention both academically and practically, are in focus in the study
