Preparation

Getting your website ready for Global Pet Expo

A simple plan around the dates of Global Pet Expo. 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 Global Pet Expo in the Pets 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 Global Pet Expo.

  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 Global Pet Expo within days. Update your pages with the questions you heard most at the stand.

For pet exhibitors

What a pet products website should show

Retail buyers and distributors look for clear product ranges, order terms and safety documents they can check quickly before a fair and return to afterwards.}

Clear product group pages

Give each product group, such as dry food, treats or grooming, its own clear page with ingredients, pack sizes and minimum order quantities, so retail buyers can check you before the fair.

Fast pages on phones

Make sure your product pages load quickly on a phone, because buyers will scan your stand code in a busy hall on a weak mobile connection.

Distributor languages and documents

Offer your catalogue and key pages in the languages of the distributors you hope to meet, and keep safety and labelling documents easy to find.

Capture leads and interests

Collect each pet shop owner's or distributor's contact details at the stand, and note which ranges and order volumes they asked about, so you can write to each one soon after the fair.
