Preparation

Getting your website ready for Exponaval

A simple plan around the dates of Exponaval. 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 Exponaval in the Maritime & Yachting 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 Exponaval.

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

For maritime and yachting exhibitors

What a maritime and yachting website should show

Brokers, owners and marina operators check specifications, dealer locations and service contacts on a company website before a fair, and return to it afterwards to request brochures and prices.

One page per model

Give each boat model or equipment line its own page with specifications, dimensions and clear photos, so brokers and owners can check details before they reach your stand.

Verified contact and service data

Check that your contact data, dealer list and service-point addresses are correct, since buyers of engines and navigation systems often look for a nearby repair contact first.

Fair QR code

Print a QR code at the stand that opens a page made for the fair, with brochures and price-list requests, readable on a phone in a loud hall.

Follow up within a week

Scan the business cards of brokers, marina operators and charter managers during the fair, note which model each one asked about, and write to every contact within a week.
