For retail and e-commerce exhibitors

What a retail and franchise website should show

Investors, store owners and buyers check a company's concept, range, terms and contact details online before a fair, and return to them afterwards to follow up.}]}ârnĂŠ

Franchise offer page

Give your franchise offer or retail concept its own clear page, with the investment needed, support provided and contact details, so interested investors can check you before they reach your stand.

Mobile-ready range and terms

Make sure your product range and wholesale terms are easy to find on a phone, so a buyer at the stand can confirm your minimum order and delivery times quickly.

Pages in your visitors' languages

Offer your key pages in the languages of the franchise investors and marketplace sellers you expect, and check that the contact details match on every language version.

Follow up every contact

Collect the details of every store owner, buyer or investor you meet by scanning their business card, note what they asked about, and contact each one within days of the fair.
