Measure Trade Show ROI from a Marketing Perspective

Stephen Tseng

"How do you measure trade show ROI from a marketing perspective?"

It is a topic I always like to mention with marketing leaders.

I often don’t get positive answers. Here are 3 top reasons …👇

1. Don’t have complete data: It is much harder to gain all data you want in trade shows. For example, you don’t even know who your visitors are if your visitors don’t want to tell you.

2. The cost and duration: the trade show cost could be very high for only short-period trade time. Also, the company needs to spend lots of time organizing beforehand.

3. Hard to measure all the metrics: For certain metrics, e.g. brand awareness and network opportunities, it is really hard to measure in numbers.

Most B2B companies still attend trade shows in most industries...

Especially when your dealers ask you to attend or your competitors attend.

Yes, trade shows certainly can help brand awareness and gain leads.

But it is hard to measure trade show ROI.
