The countdown has now begun in earnest for the Maison&Objet Paris trade fair. So, what should you be getting up to in the run-up to the big day? Sitting back and twiddling your thumbs?
Anything but! Head over to the MOM digital platform, designed by Maison&Objet, to get thoroughly prepared for your time at the fair by leveraging this interactive space that brings visitors and brands together.
01.
Dive headlong into a sea of brands
Do you need to see what a brand’s all about before even considering making a purchase? Of course you do, and we’re happy to say that you’ve come to the right place! Get ready to take a virtual stroll around each brand’s digital showroom, just like you would in real life. The second a brand grabs your attention, you can then dive deeper into its world. On MOM, each brand welcomes you on its own dedicated mini-site that shines a light on all it can offer by showcasing visuals of its stands and showrooms.
That gives you the opportunity to see products in-situ just like when you’re browsing for real. On top of all that, you will be able to actively get to grips with the brand’s values, story and commitments via a selection of vibrant videos. It’s the next best thing to having a real life one-on-one with the brand’s founder!
02.
Leverage long-term relationships
Are you a fan of building supplier relationships that stand the test of time? Then we’ve got some good news! The MOM digital platform is the perfect place to forge lasting relationships. So, how does it work? Suppliers are on hand to offer project advice and illuminating insights on your point of sale and your clients. In other words, you get to meet partners who meet your expectations. The cherry on the cake? Discussions flow smoothly right from the very start: with your MOM account, you’re just one click away from sending messages to suppliers and receiving their responses directly via email or telephone. What’s not to love?!

Make the most of Maison&Objet’s expertise

Suffice to say that the MOM digital platform harnesses the full power of Maison&Objet’s reach. Over the past twenty years, we have successfully forged trusting relationships with exhibitors and carved out a pivotal place in the decoration, design and lifestyle landscape, garnering support from industry professionals the world over.
