Marketing

1. Product List:

   Please send marketing@sdltg.com an email with a list of the products you will be showing at the event.

2. QR Codes:

   SDLA will create a QR code specific to your company and product. This QR code will be published on a sign that attendees will see as they experience your product.

   1. Optional (not required): Create a separate webpage for the product displayed at the event.

   Last year, a few manufacturers created separate webpages linked to their QR codes so attendees could quickly access additional information about the products installed on-site.

   2. If a separate webpage is not possible, SDLA will create a Taplink page for attendees to go directly to your website. Additionally, links to your product and other important company information (e.g., social media pages) will be provided.
3. Images of Product:

   Based on the product list you provide, we will gather images of your product to advertise you on Instagram and LinkedIn, spotlighting you to our followers. Please send any images you might have to marketing@sdltg.com. Otherwise, we will pull them from your website.

   1. If you have a marketing portal, please let us know so we can pull images from there.
