Management's demand for accountability of trade show exhibits often drives exhibit, sales and marketing managers to focus on measuring only bottom line results. But today's exhibit marketers need to move beyond simply justifying their programs. Event marketers need more predictive information to help them make key strategic and tactical decisions that will lead to smarter allocation of budgets and improved performance—performance improvements that will lead to optimization of bottom line results.
This session will provide marketers with an approach to measuring trade show exhibits that can be applied to all size exhibit programs. Specific measurement tools will be presented using case studies to illustrate how to measure objectives of all types, identify strengths and weaknesses of the exhibit for performance improvement and provide decision-support information.
