New year, new luck. Well, or a new strategy. New? No, the service-first approach is nothing new. However, not everyone has understood or implemented it yet.

»Brutto«, the German word for gross (e.g. gross income), is Italian and means »brutal, ugly, mean«. Since the Renaissance, this word has been used in economic contexts to refer to a sum without deductions, for example the monthly salary before taxes and insurance are deducted.

»Netto«, the German word for net (e.g. net profit), is the opposite of »Brutto«, i.e. the sum of what you actually have – or what you actually have to pay. An obvious name choice for the food retailer – and a popular term on Google. This means that Netto can benefit from a lot of traffic if it pursues a cutting-edge digital marketing strategy. In today’s article, we show you how the large B2C food retailer Netto eStores GmbH managed to do this by implementing SEO and web analytics measures.

Wild Christmas 2020
Merry Christmas!

Wild, cringe, lost.
What? Dear Gen Z and Alpha, you surely know what I’m talking about. I’m a millennial and mum of a Gen Z teenager and Gen Alpha mini. Both of them know these three words – no, they actually brought them up in the first place. I’m talking about Germany’s top 3 Youth Words (3-2-1) of the Year.

WILD: something freaking cool or awesome (24%), CRINGE: something embarrassing or awkward (28%), LOST: someone who is clueless, unsure or indecisive (48%). Three words that could not describe this year any better. We had many wild ideas, there were lots of cringe moments and… well, we certainly felt lost a few times, didn’t we?!
