Good news! Our eastern neighbours are travelling to the Netherlands and there are great opportunities there for your campsite/park. But is your German-language website in good condition and easy to find? Our new native German colleagues Anna and Sandra are ready to help you conquer the German market. We would like to introduce them to you below!

Sandra

Can you tell a little bit about yourself?

My name is Sandra and I moved to the Netherlands in 2021. This had two reasons: I fell in love with a handsome Dutchman, but it was also a good opportunity to start a new career. Now I live together with my boyfriend and with my little dog Maya in beautiful Soest. I love holidays and have already traveled to many different countries around the world.

How many years did you live in Germany?

I grew up in Hildesheim, a small town in the middle of Germany. When I was 20 years old, I left for Bremen to study. Here I also worked as an elementary school teacher. In total, I lived in Germany for 36 years.

Favorite holiday destination (or place) in Germany?

I love my hometown, Hildesheim. The town has one of the most beautiful market squares ever with its typical half-timbered houses. I often used to drive to the Harz with my grandparents. This is the northernmost low mountain range in Germany. It has many beautiful forests and is a great place for hiking in the summer and sledding in the winter.

Favorite holiday destination (or place) in the Netherlands?

Most Germans come to the Netherlands for the sea and beautiful beaches. I like that too, but I much prefer being in the woods. That's why the Veluwe is my favorite place in the Netherlands. I love walking with my dog through the woods and moors and go bird watching.

What do you enjoy most about your work?

I am very happy with my job because I can learn more about the regions in the Netherlands and improve my Dutch. I love getting to know the many great holiday parks and would love to go anywhere myself for holidays. On the other hand, I can bring in my own experience and make clients' websites in top shape with my strict teachers eye. ;)

Recommendation aimed at the German market:

I think it is important that German website visitors are shown correct content and are provided with complete information with all the details. Many Germans first want to make sure they can trust the provider before they book, so they also read the fine print. I am happy to help you tailor your website accordingly.

Anna

Can you tell a little bit about yourself?

My name is Anna, I am 29 years old and living with my partner in Scherpenzeel since last year. During my international studies in 2018 I started an internship at a Dutch company. From that moment I was immediately convinced about the country and still live here now.

How many years did you live in Germany?

I was born and raised in Germany and this is where I lived until the end of 2018. After I finished my studies I continued to live in the Netherlands, so here I have been living for almost 4 years now.

Favorite holiday destination (or place) in Germany?

Although Lingen is my hometown (and most of my family still lives here) it is not my favorite place in Germany. I very much like the North and am a big fan of the port city of Hamburg. There is so much to see and experience here and many famous German singers (especially rappers) come from there.

Favorite holiday destination (or place) in the Netherlands?

I lived in Deventer for 2.5 years and still find it a really nice city. The center is very cozy and you're right on the IJssel River - a beautiful spot especially in the summer. I have been on vacation in Callantsoog twice already and could say it is my favorite holiday destination. Although all of North Holland is beautiful, I just get happy living on the coast and the sound of the sea!

What do you enjoy most about your work?

All day long I see and read about vacation destinations so I already find the leisure industry very interesting. Furthermore, I always liked marketing and communication and working at Prosuco makes it even more fun. This is because it involves emotions and everyone likes to go on vacation. There is also a pleasant working atmosphere in the office, you can express your creativity and you can always ask questions. In this short time,  I have already learned a lot and enjoy what I do every day!

Recommendation aimed at the German market:

In general, I don't think there are that many differences between Germans and the Dutch, but aimed at the German market, I would always recommend a good command of the language and security. That's how you become reliable. Especially during the corona pandemic, it became clear that Germans are often more insecure, more compliant and don't want to take risks. A good strategy, planning and confidence are important to become successful in the German market. If you can convince a German that you are the best at what you do, you are in!
