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.
