Preparation

Getting your website ready for SHOT Show

A simple plan around the dates of SHOT Show. 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 SHOT Show in the Sports, Outdoor & Fitness 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 SHOT Show.

  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 SHOT Show within days. Update your pages with the questions you heard most at the stand.

For sports and outdoor exhibitors

What a sports and outdoor website should show

Buyers in sports, outdoor and fitness check ranges, specifications, trade terms and contact details online before a fair, and return to the site afterwards to order.

Complete product pages

Check that every product page shows sizes, materials and care details, and that the contact data is correct. Retail buyers often look at your range online before they visit your stand.

Phone-ready site

Test your site on a phone before the fair. Fitness and outdoor buyers walk the halls with their phones, so product images and spec sheets must load quickly.

Multilingual fair page

Make a fair page in the languages of your visitors, with your wholesale terms, minimum order quantities and a downloadable catalogue. Link it from a QR code on your stand.

Tagged follow-up contacts

Scan each business card at your stand and note the product group the buyer asked about, such as trail shoes or gym machines. Send each contact a follow-up soon after the fair.
