Country snapshot : GERMANY
![]() Germany has the largest economy in Europe and the third largest economy in the world, behind the United States and Japan. It is ranked fifth in the world in terms of purchasing power. The export of goods is an essential part of the German economy and one of the main factors of its wealth. According to the World Trade Organization, Germany is the world's top exporter with $1.133 trillion exported, from the beginning of 2006. Now under the stewardship of its first female chancellor, Angela Merkel, Germany is slowly emerging from a prolonged period of economic stagnation. Once perceived as having one of the most tolerant attitudes to porn, it is now one of the most regulated markets. Your tours should be 'FSK16' ? softcore ? and your members area cannot be accessed without an AVS. Hardcore content is referred to as ?FSK18?. This is mirrored in the offline world. Sexshops are commonplace in Germany's High Streets and, unlike their Dutch counterparts, are fairly inoffensive from the outside. Inside, private video booths are popular, and the majority of the movies being offered cater to the German's insatiable craving for all things fetish ? particularly BDSM and Watersports. Practically every German town also has a video store, the adult section of which is again off-limits to those under 18 years of age. Invariably, these 'adult-only' sections are the largest and most lucrative section of said stores. The adult industry is dominated by two heavyweights ? Beate Uhse (a publicly listed company) and Orion who are both based in the northern most town of Flensburg, not far from the Danish border. Frau Uhse, a legend in her own right, was a former fighter pilot in the war before she moved into erotica and is known by 99% of all Germans. Both companies have a sizeable mail-order division and have aggressively expanded eastwards since the collapse of the Berlin Wall back in 1989. Whist the above operate a significant proportion of the sex shops, there are plenty of independent stores most of which buy their wares from the wholesaler ZBF who are based in Wiesbaden, near Frankfurt. ZBF regularly holds trade-fair days, whereby content distributors can display and sell their wares to the sex store owners. Within Germany, there exists a north/south divide with regard to sexual tolerance. This can be attributed to the fact that in the south, the Catholic Church still has much more influence there. Paradoxically, this is where the majority of the ultra-hardcore production companies are located, including Europe?s largest producer, Bukkake King John Thompson. In the more tolerant north, Hamburg with it's infamous Reeperbahn ('the world's most sinful mile') is second only to Amsterdam in terms of it's red-light offerings and is popular with both Germans and tourists alike. Webmasters with compelling content ignore this market at their peril. And when you throw satellite country next door ? Austria ? and German speaking Switzerland into the equation, you are looking at a market of more than 100 million potential customers. Just remember to sell to them in their own native tongue, and use a processor that accepts ?Lastschrift? ? authorising you to take the subscription fee from their regular checking account. The Germans are a conservative lot ? credit card penetration is much lower there than in other developed markets and those that do have them are often reluctant to use them online, particularly with overseas porn merchants! To this end, you should also include phone billing as part of your billing arsenal ? the Germans love the anonymity and convenience of paying you this way. Indeed, Germany is our largest overall market? By steadfastly sticking to a ?credit card only? sales strategy, you are depriving yourself of significant additional money ?made in Germany?. |

Hallo Ihr in Deutschland
![]() and: Hi there ![]() Our statistics for Germany show: 70% Direct Debit, 20% CC and 10% SMS, Phone and other alternative payment solutions. And that's not going to change a lot. - chargebacks are higher, but also the signup ratio - 100% of Germans have a bank account. We do not have checks there anymore. So even wellfare, unemployment money, childrens money etc will just be paid per wire. But - password by phone is a great alternative to have in addition to direct debit (have to write that, or Tanja will not like me anymore :D ) No - honestly - it is a great addition and an alternative for people who don't want to use their bank account - even if at the end his phonebill will be paid per direct debit ;) Have a good one ![]() Ines

![]() Always valued doing biz in Germany - the people we dealt with were 100% honorable and deals could be done with a handshake. Lost track of the German market a little, but there was also an accent on producing a good product - and the packaging was excellent. Damn... small world.. knew Beate well and also traded with Orion and ZBF decades ago ![]()

Tanja might get angry huh? The very same "Tanja" who helped mismanage Goodthinxx and conveniently never paid hundreds of webmasters? Now she is with a new company, and it's simply ok for her to jump back in the biz despite all the webmasters that were burned? Do a search on this board for "goodthinxx" and learn about how well that project ended up. I don't get it, what's with these non payers who jump from company to company and never get called out. Then webmasters act surprised when the shiny new company falters and people get left without payment of course, when everything is going well and webmasters are getting paid, people like Tanja speak on panels, hob knob at the shows, have PR articles written up about them and bask in the limelight. Then once everything falls apart , they have some BS excuse that exonerates then from the responsibility of paying webmasters. And that leads to another question: why do companies hire people or associate themselves with people who have a history of non payment to webmasters? What does that say about a companies that hire these people? Maybe passwordbyphone will pay me the money I am owed , as well as the other webmasters who were never paid by Goodthinxx? I say take it out of the fat salary you are probably paying "Tanja" , or are we afraid that "Tanja might get angry" ? |

but another question: is it true that a surfer has to wait for like 12 minutes to get a password - but if he hangs up after 11 minutes passwordbyphone keeps all the money and the site owner and webmaster get nothing? |

What happens if a caller hangs up after 1 or 2 minutes! Do I get paid anyway? "Customers will call to receive a password and will stay on the phone to listen to their password about 97% to 98 % of the time. The caller listens to a interesting 4,5 minute announcement, followed by the password and the password repetition which results in average to a 5 minutes 15 seconds to 5 minutes 30 second call duration. There are about 2 to 3 percent of callers who hang up during the first 30 to 60 seconds. Once the caller remains over 60 seconds on the phone he will want to listen to the password. After all, this is the reason why the caller is calling and therefore will stay the full duration on the phone. We included the very few "30 second hang ups" into our calculation and will pay for every password of the duration of 6 minutes instead of the 5 minutes 30 seconds. This means we pay for 30 seconds more than the actual holding time and this covers generously the few "30 second hang ups" you may have." Otherwise, we would need to have a seperate premium number per country per client which is not feasable. |
