  1. Step 1

    8 weeks before

    Test your contact form and the e-mail it sends on a phone. Capture every contact at the stand with one method and note what each visitor asked for.

  4. Step 4

    2 weeks after

    Reply to every contact from automatica within days. Update your pages with the questions you heard most at the stand.

For machinery and automation exhibitors

What a machinery and automation website should show

Engineers and plant managers look for technical detail, documents they can download and a clear way to get in touch, both before they plan a visit and after the fair.}

Product pages with specifications

Give each machine or automation product its own page with clear specifications, so engineers can check capacity, interfaces and dimensions before they visit your stand.

Downloadable datasheets and manuals

Make sure datasheets, CE declarations and manuals are easy to find and download, because buyers often ask for them on the spot and expect them on your site.

Stand QR code

Print a QR code at the stand that opens a fair page with your demo schedule and a contact form, and test that it loads quickly on a phone.

Tailored follow-up

Scan the business cards of integrators and plant managers at the stand, note which machine each person asked about, and send a tailored follow-up within a few days of the fair.
