SUMMARY

QUESTIONS REGARDING

THE TURNOVER

This chapter will show the summary of turnover and order book

developments for all six countries first. After that, the results

concerning turnover and order book will be shown in more detail

per country.

” If you compare your turnover of the fourth quarter of 2018 to

the fourth quarter of 2017, how did your turnover develop?”

“How big (in months) is your current order book portfolio? So for

how many months will you be able to keep your current staff

working?”

“What are your expectations for the development of your

turnover in the first quarter of 2019 in comparison to the

turnover in the first quarter of 2018? Do you expect it to

increase, decrease or remain the same?’’

• In the theme part of Q4 2018 special attention is paid to ‘MEDIA ORIENTATION

& CONSUMPTION’.

• Nowadays, with more and more different types of media channels, it is important

for manufacturers to know how to reach their clients / the installers. Besides ‘old

school’ information sources like magazines, trade shows and representatives,

completely new media channels have been implemented in society. It is not just

the internet which is a huge source of information, but also developments like

social media, smart phones, and apps have claimed their position in the area of

information technology.

• In this report, insights will be given about to what extent different types of

information sources are used by installers, what kind of information installers are

looking for and prefer, the usage of social media and smart phones among

installers etc.
