It is possible to export your geometry + attributes to SHAPE file format http://www.esri.com/library/whitepapers/pdfs/shapefile.pdf. Some vendors require that the datasets are delivered in this format. Each feature element type will get exported into a single dataset

There are at least the following files:

• [filename].shp : contains geomtry
• [filename].shx : contains index
• [filename].dbf : contains attribute data

If you specified a coordinate system for your project, you'll have also the file

• [filename].prj : contains the reference coordinate system

The user will get the option to select the features to export, based on active schema.
