What a healthcare and dental website should show
Hospital buyers, dentists and distributors look for clear product specifications, intended use, documents and regulatory details on a company website before they contact you or order after a fair.
Dedicated product pages
Give each device or consumable its own product page with specifications, intended use and downloadable documents, so a hospital buyer can check your range before the fair.
Visible certification details
Make sure certification details, such as CE marking, and your regulatory contact are correct and easy to find, because buyers often ask for them before they request a quote.
Mobile-Ready fair page
Check how your product pages load on a phone over a weak stand connection, and put a QR code on your banner that leads to a page made for the fair.
Personal contact Follow-Up
Scan the business cards of every dentist, distributor and procurement contact at your stand, note which product they asked about, and send a personal follow-up within days.
