In the 21st century, manufacturing industry enterprises have to carry out an effective expenditure control in order to survive. As a matter of fact, in order to gain a competitive advantage, companies should either reduce their costs or achieve a higher quality level. The aim of this study is to explain the relationship between operating expenses and profitability of Turkish manufacturing industry firms. In this study, it is tried to answer especially the question of which activity cost has a higher impact on profitability. In this respect, the relationship between 1996 and 2015 was tested by multiple linear regression analysis. According to the findings obtained by regression and other analysis tools, a positive and statistically significant relationship between marketing expenditures and profitability was observed. As a result, businesses should not perceive marketing as just advertising but should perceive marketing as logistics, public relations, brand value, corporate social responsibility and so on. Moreover businesses must do marketing activities more professionally.
