Event marketing is one of the best ways brands can connect with consumers. But many marketers fail to accurately measure the right metrics when it comes to their event marketing efforts. This is in part because many don’t have a clear vision of what their expectations are and what they want to achieve. But once these crucial goals are determined, it’s pretty straight forward from there. When marketers are able to gather the right metrics from the field, they will better understand the impact of the event and what their attendees expect. This article outlines the most common event marketing goals, the metrics that are attached to them, and the different tools event marketers can use to capture event data.

Here, we’ll look at five things marketers can do to take advantage of all that this impressive pair has to offer.
