Regional Reflections - Jeroen Helms

I❤️Distribution
Written by Jeroen Helms, Regional Sales Director, EMEA

Surely everyone has a soft spot for Amsterdam. Yes, I live in Holland, so I’m biased, but it’s renowned for being one of the most liveable / loveable cities in the world, and I’m sure many agree. Its lure is growing fast in the tech space, attracting the best tech talent for its top-notch start-up and tech ecosystem as well as world-class digital infrastructure. Already a hub for many of the global tech giants, many smaller innovative corporates and start-ups are opening new premises in the city, which is presenting exciting new business opportunities for us as a manufacturer. Working with major AV distributors such as Van Domburg Partners (VDP), with a focus on international accounts and logistics links throughout Europe, we have a great opportunity to grow our brand and increase market share in the Benelux region.

The tech scene in Holland is like no other in Europe and this makes the country a hot bed for creativity innovation and a testing ground for new, ground-breaking products. It also lends itself to smaller, more adventurous, outdoor customer events; something that VDP – part of the Midwich Group – is very good at.

   

It's more important than ever to ensure events generate ROI and grow sales. There’s no better way to do that in this region than by hosting small events, targeted at a specific vertical or product category. They attract the right people and are easier to measure. As a brand on the VDP portfolio for almost 9 years now, we have seen year on year growth and our competitive position is improving all the time. Integrators still contact us directly, but we direct them to buy through distribution to receive the best support and pricing available.

As we look to 2023 and beyond, we are in a good position for sustainable growth, and we anticipate a wider landscape of distribution with more focus on our high-end products. These are the door openers with integrators. Although mounts are at our core, the products that excite them are our emerging technology range, which includes Outdoor Displays, Kiosks and dvLED mounting systems. Acceptance of new technologies generally takes longer, but our strategy is paying off here.

Some recent projects we’ve secured include over 40 Indoor Kiosks with integrator Whitemilk bvba for town hall locations throughout the city of Brussels and Outdoor Digital Menu Boards for wayfinding and advertising at GaiaZOO, Kerkrade, Netherlands.

And so now our attention moves to Barcelona. Book a booth tour with me at ISE 2023, 31st January – 3rd February, to see our new offerings and find out how we can assist you with your upcoming projects in the Benelux region.
