Brand strategy for Alkmaar businesses that serve the whole region
Alkmaar has a strong traditional image — the cheese market, the canals, the Waag. Some local businesses benefit from leaning into that heritage; others stand out by deliberately being modern. The first step of a brand strategy here is choosing which, based on who your customers are.
For service businesses that draw customers from Heiloo, Bergen and Castricum, the strategy also defines why someone should drive into Alkmaar for you rather than choose someone closer.

Heritage or modern: brand strategy in Alkmaar
Alkmaar’s traditional image can be an asset or a cliché. The strategy decides which suits your customers, and why someone should drive in from Heiloo or Bergen for you.
Regional service firms get a clear reason to be chosen.
Take an Alkmaar cheese shop catering to tourists and locals. Strategy balances tradition for visitors with everyday quality for locals, so neither group feels the shop is not for them.
Our first step is observing the shop on a market day and a quiet weekday. The difference between tourists and locals shows how the brand must speak to both.
