Exhibition ROI questions

Exhibition ROI compares the revenue generated by an exhibition with the total cost invested in it.

What your numbers mean

Total investment
Everything you spent to put the exhibition on.
Cost per lead
What each captured lead effectively cost you.
Cost per opportunity
What each real sales opportunity cost you.
Break-even customers
The whole customers needed to cover the investment at your average customer value.
ROI
The percentage return relative to the amount invested.
Lead to customer rate
The share of leads that became customers, from your own figures.

Your stand price is only part of the cost

Travel, accommodation, staff time, sponsorship, marketing and promotional materials can all add significantly to the true investment. This calculator brings those costs into one view, then compares them against the leads, opportunities and customers the event generated, so marketing and sales can discuss cost per lead, cost per opportunity, break-even customers and revenue rather than whether the show felt busy.
