What a general trade website should show
Buyers and visitors from many industries want to see quickly what a company sells, how to reach it and where to find current product information.
One page per product group
Make sure each product group you show has its own page with a clear description, so a buyer who knows nothing about you can see what you sell.
Check your contact details
Check that your phone number, email and company name are correct on every page, since buyers often look you up on their phone before they reach your stand.
Add a fair QR code
Put a QR code on your stand that opens one page made for the fair, with your current catalogue or price list and a simple way to contact you.
Follow up after the fair
Scan the business cards of every sourcing agent and retailer you talk to, note what they asked about, and write to each of them within days of the fair.
