Preparation

Getting your website ready for Futurebuild

A simple plan around the dates of Futurebuild. 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 Futurebuild in the Building & Architecture 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 Futurebuild.

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

For building and architecture exhibitors

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.
