Preparation

Getting your website ready for Halloween & Party Expo

A simple plan around the dates of Halloween & Party 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 Halloween & Party Expo in the Home & Gift 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 Halloween & Party 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 Halloween & Party Expo within days. Update your pages with the questions you heard most at the stand.

For home and gift exhibitors

What a home and gift website should show

Retail buyers browse ranges on their phones, compare wholesale terms before visiting a stand, and expect a prompt, relevant follow-up with the right catalogue afterwards.

Product pages per collection

Before the fair, check that every collection has its own product page with clear photos, materials and sizes, since buyers often browse your range on their phone first.

Visible wholesale terms

Make sure your wholesale terms, minimum order quantity and delivery times are easy to find, because retail buyers compare these before they walk up to your stand.

Fair-Specific QR page

Place a QR code at your stand that opens a page made for the fair, showing your new season collection and how to request your catalogue or price list.

Personal buyer Follow-Up

Scan the business cards of buyers at your stand and note which collections they liked, then send each of them a personal message with the right catalogue within a few days.
