Preparing B2B outreach at Intermodellbau 2027
-
Segment your targets. Differentiate outreach to hobby retailers, specialist distributors and component manufacturers. Tailor your proposition and collateral accordingly.
-
Bring physical samples. Detail and finish matter; prototypes or demo models on display increase credibility. Short technical datasheets help sustain commercial conversations.
-
Schedule meetings in advance. The exhibitor list and stand registration options allow you to book meetings and avoid relying on chance encounters.
-
Offer on-stand demos. Operational models or RC demonstrations draw buyers and create natural opportunities to discuss specifications and pricing.
-
Capture technical requirements. Ask about preferred scales, compatibility issues and order volumes to prioritise follow-up actions after the show.
Practical notes for exhibitors and visitors
