For food and beverage exhibitors

What a food and beverage website should show

Retail buyers, importers and distributors check ingredients, pack sizes, allergens and certification on a company website before a fair, and return to it afterwards when comparing suppliers.

Product line pages

Give each product line its own page with clear ingredient lists, pack sizes and allergen details, so a retail buyer can check the facts before the fair.

Certificates and spec sheets

Put your certificates, such as organic, halal or IFS, and your spec sheets on a page that is easy to find and easy to download.

Phone-ready fair page

Test your site on a phone over a weak hall connection, then set up a QR code at your stand that opens a page made for the fair, with your range and price enquiry form.

Prompt buyer follow-up

Scan the business cards of importers and distributors at your stand, note which products each buyer asked about, and send a follow-up with samples or price lists within days of the fair.
