Preparation

Getting your website ready for Gulf 4P

A simple plan around the dates of Gulf 4P. 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 Gulf 4P in the Printing & Labels 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 Gulf 4P.

  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 Gulf 4P within days. Update your pages with the questions you heard most at the stand.

For printing and label exhibitors

What a printing and label website should show

Buyers in printing and labels look for clear machine, ink and material specifications, samples they can inspect on any device, and a quick way to reach the right person.

Dedicated product pages

Give every press, ink system and label material its own product page with clear specifications, so a converter can check your range before they reach your stand.

Phone-ready spec sheets

Test your site on a phone before the fair. Spec sheets and sample galleries must open quickly, because visitors will look them up while standing in your aisle.

Correct multilingual terminology

Offer your pages in the languages of your visitors, and make sure terms like substrate, adhesive grade and finishing options are correct in each language.

Fair page via QR code

Put a QR code on your stand that leads to a fair page with your label samples, certificates and a contact form.
