What a building and architecture website should show
Architects, planners and contractors look for clear product specifications, technical documents and a named contact on a company website, both before they visit a fair and after.
Dedicated product group pages
Give each product group, such as facade systems or insulation, its own page with clear specifications, so architects and planners can check your range before they visit your stand.
Downloadable technical documents
Offer technical data sheets, certificates and installation guides as plain downloads on your website, because specifiers and contractors will look for these documents first.
Fair-Specific QR landing page
Print a QR code on your stand that leads to a page made for the fair, with your product highlights, contact person and a link to request project samples.
Tailored contact Follow-Up
Scan the business cards of architects and contractors at the stand, note the project type on each contact, and send a tailored follow-up within a few days of the fair.
