Market trends/ facts in the Netherlands
• Growing number of customers switch.
• Market churn in 2009 10% -15%. • But Dutch Government claims switch intentation goes down!
1.Switches increase ! 2.intention goes down
Push channels under pressure
• Existing push channels are more regulated, release call me not register oktober 2009 ->protect themselves
• High cancellation rates in cooling period
Push market• Switching is in approximately 70% of cases “forced” • Large numbers of acquisition means less “customer quality” at a
higher price

spendings are increasing
• Media attention, competitors rising budgets (2009 expenditure, 200% higher as in 2008!)
Acquisition power ‘green’
is marginal5• Acquisition sustainibility in mind customer limited• Customers are environmentally conscious, • but don’t want to act or pay.• Price perception is primary reason for switching
The result of the above

THE CONSUMERThe dutch consumer is annoyed

.................................................................................................
........................................................................
• Energy providers call in chorus that they are the cheapest, is this so?
• This market approach is growing distrust of suppliers.• Name recognition, service and distinctive crucial for recruitment ambitions
Competitive irrelevance
Is this because energy is a commodity?
Or
is this caused by the way we all approach the market?
