Commercial prospecting at an antiques fair
Preparing for Feriarte 2026 requires focus. Prioritize exhibitors by specialty and prepare a digital brief with product sheets, purchase terms and collection references. Book meetings in advance using the exhibitor catalog and plan visits outside peak opening hours.
At meetings focus on three points: provenance and condition, documentation and commercial terms. Have adaptable quotation templates ready and a system to capture contact and follow-up data efficiently. After the fair, send a concise summary with photos and terms within 48 hours to keep negotiations moving.
Practical advice for professional visitors
Review the exhibitor floor plan before arrival to map efficient routes. Attend forum sessions on valuation and market trends to refine your commercial pitch. If you represent a gallery or auction house, schedule client visits within the first three days to assess pieces without time pressure.
