How to prepare prospecting for MIO Feria de Olten 2026
- Segment your schedule by sector. Map stands in solar energy jewellery and manufacturing and prioritize targets.
- Prepare localised materials. Concise brochures and spec sheets work better in events that mix public visitors and trade.
- Set clear meeting goals. For each contact define an objective such as collecting qualified leads scheduling a technical demo or arranging a follow up visit.
- Book meetings around peak traffic. Regional fairs concentrate visitors in specific time slots over the weekend. Reserve technical discussions outside those windows.
- Capture commercial evidence. Photograph showcased solutions and record value propositions for follow up rather than rely on memory.
What this edition offers to regional companies
For regional suppliers the fair allows placing products in a local context and testing consumer and trade reaction. Manufacturers and solar providers can demonstrate installations materials and services in a community setting where purchase decisions often connect to local after sales support.
