EXAMPLE DATA

Tallow Creek Outdoor: after spoga+gafa

A buyer from a Dutch garden centre chain asked about four aluminium dining sets and two lounge sets. Three days after the fair, the sales lead sends a collection of those six sets.

The collection shows prices, cushion fabric options and a 90-day lead time. The buyer asks for a quote on three sets, and yours shows FOB prices and 40-foot container fill.

Send within three working days, while the buyer still remembers your stand
Link to a collection of the products they asked about, not your whole catalog
State MOQ, lead time and price basis in the message

spoga+gafa exhibitors ask

Can we show frame colours and cushion fabrics separately?

Yes. Load frame colours and cushion fabrics as options on each set. Buyers pick the combination they want, their enquiry names it, and your follow-up quotes that combination.

Can we quote container mixes?

Enter each carton size once and Poly9 works out CBM and cartons per container. Every quote you send shows total CBM and how full the container is.

Is the booth useful outside the fair season?

Yes. Garden buyers plan many months ahead. Your booth link keeps working all year, so buyers return to it when they plan the next season.

What does a Digital Booth cost for spoga+gafa exhibitors?

Exhibitors pay the same regular monthly price as every other company: Booth, Factory or Enterprise, shown in the pricing section above. You can preview your Digital Booth with five products before you pay anything.

What happens to the booth after spoga+gafa closes?

Your Digital Booth stays live for as long as you subscribe. Buyers who kept your link can return to it when they plan orders, and you keep prices and products current between fairs.
