Hilvarenbeek runs on leisure, hospitality, agricultural businesses and a centre with independent shops. Many of their customers come from outside the municipality, and they only find you if you're online where they are searching.
Fifteen minutes from Weelde, just across the border. VAT reverse-charged for Dutch businesses.
Leisure and hospitality in this municipality draw visitors from across Brabant and from Belgium. Those people do not know your name, they search for what they want to do. A site built around that, with clear pages per offer and current opening hours, catches that visitor.
For farm and B2B businesses it works differently. There a clear site explaining how you work, and an enquiry that gets answered quickly, counts for more than pretty photos.
I speak to Dutch and Belgian visitors in their own words. That's my home advantage.
Fifteen minutes' drive. Coming by to take photos or talk something through isn't a project.
I invoice Dutch companies without Belgian VAT.
Yes. There it's about being found for what people want to do, up-to-date information and a booking or reservation step nobody gets lost in.
Yes, with a dedicated page or a dedicated ad campaign. That is often the cheapest extra revenue there is.
I am based in Belgium and invoice Dutch companies with VAT reverse-charged.
Half an hour in Hilvarenbeek or online. We look at who your visitors are and where they're currently missing you.
