How to prospect at Foire Exposition de Picardie 2026
Approach the fair with a segmented plan. Focus first on the categories that generate the most footfall: food producers, home goods and personal care services. Second, map the busiest moments; food areas draw steady traffic while home and decoration stands attract project-driven buyers.
Practical actions for sellers and buyers
- Bring tactile samples and concise product sheets with contact details.
- Book meetings during off-peak slots, such as early weekday mornings.
- Use live demonstrations to capture qualified leads; workshop participants tend to be buyers with intent.
These measures help maximize limited time on the ground in a predominantly consumer-facing environment with meaningful B2B openings.
