A simple plan around the dates of Florida Restaurant & Lodging Show. 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 Florida Restaurant & Lodging Show in the Hospitality sector and check that each item has its own page.

  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 Florida Restaurant & Lodging Show.

  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 Florida Restaurant & Lodging Show within days. Update your pages with the questions you heard most at the stand.

For hospitality exhibitors

What a hospitality website should show

Hoteliers, chefs and restaurant buyers look for clear product details, usable mobile pages and easy contact routes before a fair, and for a prompt, relevant reply afterwards.

Dedicated product pages

Give each product group, such as commercial kitchen equipment or hotel linen, its own page with clear photos, specifications and a visible contact route for buyers to check before the fair.

Test on mobile

Test your site on a phone over a weak connection, since a chef or hotel manager at your stand will often open your catalogue on the spot.

Build a fair page

Prepare a fair page that shows your price lists, certifications and delivery terms, and link it with a QR code on your stand so buyers find it quickly.

Follow up personally

Scan the business cards of hoteliers and restaurant buyers at your stand, note what each one asked for, and send a personal follow-up within a few days of the fair.
