Tekstvak: The clash of cultures

You assumed Holland is the same as Belgium?

Be aware of the totally different cultures in both countries. And why you can’t just spread Dutch mailings in Belgium? Or vice versa.

· Why would I make a different mailing for Belgium as for Holland: they both speak the same language, don’t they?

· We are going to relocate and have Belgian people working closely together with Dutch people: what is important to take into account to let them cooperate smoothly?

Don’t we all know by now French fries are called “frieten” or “frites” in Belgium and “patat” in Holland?

 

Unfortunately, there are more important differences between both countries. And not only in their legal system or language, but also in their basic culture. And even within Belgium there are important differences.

 

Our CEO has had the advantage of living as a Dutch for many, many years in Belgium. He as no other can explain you those differences. And how to take them in account in your marketing efforts.
