Doing Business in Bern

Bern businesses come to DND Teams for one accountable team that can handle the website, search, social media, ads and customer messaging together.

Bern is the federal city of Switzerland, seat of the Federal Council and parliament, with a UNESCO-listed old town and a large public sector.

Bern audiences value formal, accurate German content, with French for the bilingual canton.

Key business areas include the Old Town, Länggasse, Kirchenfeld and Wankdorf. Our work for Bern clients is shaped by these local conditions, the languages your customers use (German, with French) and the regulations of Switzerland.

Bern Market Notes

Who your customers are

Bern's customers include the Swiss federal administration, healthcare providers, technology firms, tourism businesses and education. Bern is Switzerland's capital and seat of the federal government, so public administration, federal agencies and Swiss Post are major employers. Its medieval Old Town, with six kilometres of arcades, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a busy shopping area.

How they choose and contact a business

Bern customers value reliable, formal communication in German.

When demand peaks

The onion market (Zibelemärit) in November and the holiday season are key moments. Across all channels we plan campaigns before these dates rather than reacting once demand has already peaked.

Where customers search and shop

Searches name the Old Town, Länggasse, Breitenrain, Bümpliz and Wankdorf. We use these area names across your website, local SEO, ad targeting and message segments.

Digital Habits and Channels in Switzerland

Switzerland has one of the highest smartphone penetration rates in Europe, and WhatsApp is the dominant messaging app, while SMS remains common for transactional messages and two-factor authentication. Campaigns usually need German, French and Italian versions depending on the canton.

TWINT is the leading mobile payment app, used by millions of Swiss residents in shops and online, alongside cards and invoice payment. Prices are high and consumers expect premium quality, precise information and discretion. Key dates include Christmas and Advent, Black Friday, summer holidays and regional carnivals such as Basel Fasnacht, and many businesses close on Sundays.

Switzerland's economy includes banking, insurance, pharmaceuticals (Roche, Novartis), watchmaking, food (Nestlé) and tourism. VAT is 8.1%, and prices are in Swiss francs. German, French, Italian and Romansh are official languages, so campaigns must use the right language for each canton. TWINT is the most popular mobile payment app.

Compliance Overview for Switzerland

In Switzerland, mass advertising by SMS or email without prior consent is unfair competition under Article 3(1)(o) of the Federal Act against Unfair Competition (UWG/LCD). Messages must identify the sender and offer an easy opt-out, with a limited exception for existing customers.

The revised Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), in force since September 2023, applies, overseen by the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).

General information only, not legal advice. Each service page for Bern covers the rules relevant to that channel. See also the messaging compliance guide for Switzerland and our industry guides.
