You’ve been selling your products for a while now and business has starting to take off. With the business success, you’ve been thinking of expanding your business to the Netherlands, but you’re not sure if the Dutch market is the right market for your product. What do you do?
The Netherlands has one of the most resilient and fastest-growing economies in Europe and it is easy to see why. The country has a world-class logistics network, cutting edge tech infrastructure, the Dutch have more and more disposable income, and the Dutch government has many schemes and incentives in place that create a very friendly business environment, especially for foreign businesses looking to start a business in the Netherlands.
But is this the Dutch market right for your product? One way to find out is to set up an office in the Netherlands and starting to sell your product. However, this can take a long time and potentially cost a lot of money. Besides having to go through the processes of registering a business in the Netherlands, you will also need to find and rent an office space in a good area, then buy furniture and equipment so that you can start selling your product. With everything done, you start selling your product, but the product is not doing well and you soon realize that the Dutch market is not the ideal market for your product. This can be an extremely costly lesson and one that could easily have been avoided.
How? By getting a Dutch phone number for your business and starting small.
When you get a Dutch phone number for your business you can start building a presence in the Dutch market by allowing customers to contact you on a local phone number. When customers see that you have a local phone number, they start to develop trust in your business, because they see that you are committed to the Dutch market, that you understand the needs of Dutch shoppers, and that you abide by the same laws that protect them. By having a Dutch phone number you can also get local feedback about your product or service, giving you insight into whether your product or service is suitable for the Dutch market. This allows you to test the market without investing thousands into new offices and equipment.
How do you get a Dutch phone number for your business?
One of the easiest ways to get a Dutch phone number for your business is to open a virtual office. A virtual office is the same as a ‘regular’ office, but without the expensive lease contracts, furniture and equipment, and other overheads that come with a ‘normal’ office. When you open a virtual office, you get a Dutch phone number for your business on which people can contact you, as well as a business address where you can receive mail and parcels. These details can also go on business cards and other documents like invoices and order forms, thereby further solidifying your presence in the Dutch market.
