Practical prospecting advice for exhibitors and visitors
Define targeted channels before arriving. Use the exhibitor catalogue to shortlist companies by product category and schedule meetings with hosted buyers when applicable. Prepare concise product sheets, sample logistics and a clear follow-up plan for each contact. In-stand tastings and quick product demos are effective when paired with technical specifications and pricing tiers for different markets.
Segment outreach by channel: prioritize retail chains with data on pack sizes and shelf life, and approach foodservice buyers with portioning and menu integration proposals. For importers, provide certificates and logistics details up front to accelerate decision making.
