Trade shows, campaign launches, and sporting events are great marketing tactics that help you drive customer engagement, and boost sales. But coordinating the logistics for moving merchandise for these special events can be a hassle.

That’s where microsites come in. But what is a microsite?

A microsite is separate from your B2B website, where you can easily share messages and products specifically for a unique event. With RepSpark’s online platform, your team can create a microsite that gives your customers a customized shopping experience, while simplifying fulfillment on your end.

Here’s an example of how a RepSpark microsite could help you.


Seamless shopping experience for consumers Say your brand sells sportswear, and you’re selling a select range of apparel in conjunction with a golf tournament. This is what your microsite could look like. The messaging is clear and concise, so event participants know exactly how to select their giveaway item. Once customers click on their desired package(s), they’ll be led to a page where they can specify the color and size they want.	Streamlined fulfillment process for your team Once the order is processed, it’s sent directly to your ERP, without your team having to manually compile orders. All the items ordered will then be shipped to you ahead of your event. This streamlined process frees up your employees’ time to concentrate on more important matters.
