Commercial prospecting and networking tactics
- Target list. From the exhibitor directory and My Easyfairs pick 8–10 priority contacts per day and schedule 15-minute meetings. 2. Qualify during demos. Use samples and demos to assess purchasing volume and cadence; capture consented contact details for follow-up. 3. Technical collateral. Provide printed technical sheets and QR links to digital specs to prevent data loss on the floor. 4. Immediate follow-up. Arrange an email and call sequence within 72 hours and prepare limited-time offers to convert meetings into orders.
What kind of companies attend
The fair addresses artisan bakeries, industrial bread production, artisan ice-cream parlours, day horeca operators and suppliers of ingredients and equipment. The Start-Up Zone highlights emerging tech while the Smaak & Kennispleinen areas facilitate quick taste tests and comparisons.
