- Book live demos for refrigeration and production equipment to assess footprint and energy requirements.
- Use digital product sheets and QR codes to speed up information exchange and follow up after the fair.
- Bring controlled samples when testing ingredients or decoration materials so buyers can perform sensory checks.
- Define team roles for on-site evaluation, negotiation and documentation to shorten decision cycles.
