DACH Week in WhitePress®. Open up to our German-speaking markets!
Do you run a business that targets customers living abroad? Or maybe you operate locally, but you want to enter a challenging market that is full of potential and promise? Advertiser, if you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, do not hesitate to take advantage of the 10% discount on publications on portals in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The offer will be available on the WhitePress® platform only from January 23rd to 29th.

A language that sparks great interest

It is often said that German is only spoken in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, and this statement is completely untrue. Fortunately, this stereotype that has been circulating for years is constantly being rectified by statistics that show time and time again that the native language of Gutenberg, Kant, Mozart, Schubert, Einstein, or Roger Federer is used almost all over the world. Currently, more than 130 million people speak German, and each of them can be a potential customer.

WhitePress® debuted on the German market in 2020, and of course it was a great choice because in just two years, it became our third-largest market in terms of the number of available portals. Considering that we currently operate in over 30 countries, this result confirms that this is a market worth investing in. In our database, advertisers can choose from over 3,070 reliable portals in German, and most importantly, this number is constantly growing. In our opinion, if you want to appear on the international stage, presence on German-language portals is the key to success.

The market of potentially opulent customers

Where should you look for customers? Preferably in places where there is a high probability that you will find rich people willing to invest in new goods. When it comes to German-speaking markets, Germany, Austria and Switzerland can be proud of their stable economic situations that leave other nations behind.

By reaching different customers, you have a better chance of success

Although in each of the above-mentioned countries, the German language is used on a daily basis, this does not mean that the speakers of this language form a homogeneous group. Just the opposite! Each of these countries is characterized by a completely different approach to life, experiences, consumption preferences, customs, and history. It is worth remembering when creating marketing strategies for individual markets.

  • Germany – is a country known for its beautiful and mysterious castles, the diversity of its nature, and the largest companies in the world. In turn, the inhabitants of the country located in Central Europe are characterized by an attachment to perfection and attention to detail.
  • Austria – is known for its great composers, arts, architecture, and skiing. While in Austria, there is also a good chance that you will meet many smiling, happy people because the inhabitants of this country rate the quality of their lives very highly.
  • Switzerland - a small country with great opportunities. For years, the Swiss have been betting on innovation, independence, stability, and they are also resistant to crises and external influences.
