Preparation

Getting your website ready for ITMA 2027

A simple plan around the dates of ITMA 2027. 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 ITMA 2027 in the Textiles & Textile Machinery 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 ITMA 2027.

  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 ITMA 2027 within days. Update your pages with the questions you heard most at the stand.

For textile and machinery exhibitors

What a textile website should show

Buyers and mill agents check specifications, certificates and sample options on a company website before the fair, and return to it afterwards to compare suppliers and make contact.}

Dedicated product pages

Give each fabric range or machine type its own product page with clear specifications, so buyers can check composition, width, weight or output before they reach your stand.

Current certificate downloads

Offer certificate and test-report downloads, such as OEKO-TEX or GOTS documents, and keep them current, because sourcing buyers often ask for them first.

Fair-Specific QR landing page

Print a QR code on your stand that opens a page made for the fair, with swatch and sample requests, in the languages of your main visitor markets.

Prompt personal Follow-Up

Scan the business cards of mill buyers and agents at the stand, note which fabric or machine they asked about, and send each of them a personal reply within days.
