Preparation

Getting your website ready for Equip Exposition

A simple plan around the dates of Equip Exposition. Adjust it to your team and your products.

  1. Step 1

    8 weeks before

    Open your website on a phone as a visitor would and note what is slow or unclear. List what you will show at Equip Exposition in the Gardening & Landscaping sector and check that each item has its own page.

    This date has passed. Do it this week.

  2. Step 2

    4 weeks before

    Describe each offer in plain words: who it is for, what problem it solves and how a visitor gets in touch. Add the languages your visitors read and a QR code that leads to a page made for Equip Exposition.

    This date has passed. Do it this week.

  3. Step 3

    Fair week

    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 Equip Exposition within days. Update your pages with the questions you heard most at the stand.

For gardening and landscaping exhibitors

What a gardening and landscaping website should show

Garden centre buyers, landscape contractors and council purchasers look for clear product details, trade prices and a quick way to ask questions before and after a fair.

Clear range pages

Give each plant, tool or machine range its own clear page with sizes, availability and care or maintenance details, because garden centre buyers often check your catalogue before they visit the stand.

Phone-Ready site

Test your site on a phone outdoors in poor signal, since landscape contractors will look at it while walking the hall and will not wait for slow pages.

Dedicated fair page

Add a fair page to your website with seasonal ranges, trade price lists and a request form, and put its QR code on your stand so buyers can reach it quickly.

Prompt catalogue Follow-Up

Scan the business cards of contractors, retailers and council buyers at the stand and note which range each one asked about, then send them the right catalogue within a few days of the fair.
