What a mining website should show
Procurement managers, engineers and contractors look for clear specifications, proof of safety and support, and datasheets they can open easily, both before the fair and when they follow up afterwards.
One page per machine
Give each machine or service its own page with clear specifications, so procurement managers can check capacity, spare-parts support and safety certificates before they walk up to your stand.
Test on weak connections
Test your site on a mid-range phone with a weak connection, as mine operators and contractors often look up datasheets in a crowded hall.
Translate for mining regions
Offer your product pages and datasheets in the languages of the mining regions you sell to, such as Spanish, Portuguese or Russian, so that buyers read your details in their own language.
Follow up with datasheets
Scan the business card of every operator, contractor and engineer you meet, note the machine they asked about, and send the matching datasheet within a few days of the fair.
