Doing Business in Groningen

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

Groningen is the largest city in the northern Netherlands, a university city with energy, healthcare and technology sectors.

Groningen's student population makes social media important for consumer brands.

Key business areas include the Binnenstad, Zernike Campus, Helpman and Oosterpoort. Our work for Groningen clients is shaped by these local conditions, the languages your customers use (Dutch) and the regulations of the Netherlands.

Groningen Market Notes

Who your customers are

Groningen's customers include energy companies, the University of Groningen and Hanze students, healthcare providers, technology firms and retailers. Groningen has a large student population. Groningen's university and Hanze University of Applied Sciences give it one of the youngest populations in the Netherlands, and cycling is the main way to get around the centre.

How they choose and contact a business

Groningen customers value straightforward communication in Dutch.

When demand peaks

Student arrivals and the Eurosonic Noorderslag festival in January 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 mention the city centre, Zernike, Helpman and Oosterpoort. We use these area names across your website, local SEO, ad targeting and message segments.

Digital Habits and Channels in the Netherlands

The Netherlands has among the highest smartphone and internet penetration in Europe, and WhatsApp is the main messaging app; many shops and services offer WhatsApp customer service. SMS is used for transactional messages and two-factor authentication.

iDEAL, the Dutch online bank payment method, dominates e-commerce checkout, and Tikkie payment requests are widely used for splitting bills and invoices. The Dutch value direct, concise and honest communication. Important dates include King's Day on 27 April, Sinterklaas on 5 December, which can be bigger than Christmas for gift shopping, and Black Friday.

The Netherlands has a trade-driven economy: the Port of Rotterdam is the largest in Europe, Schiphol is a major air hub, and companies such as ASML, Philips, Shell, Heineken and ING are headquartered here. Most people speak excellent English, but Dutch-language content still performs better with consumers. VAT (BTW) is 21%. Since 2021, telemarketing to consumers requires opt-in consent unless there is an existing customer relationship, and unsolicited marketing SMS and email also need prior consent under the Telecommunications Act.
