ROI Rule #2Embrace theROI.Own the ROI.Become theROI.Melanie Altarescu #ElevateNYC 59. ROI Rule #3The ROIShould Be(Positively)Delivered LongBefore theEvent BeginsMelanie Altarescu #ElevateNYC 60. The ROI Based Approach Train yourself to think about the eventROI/success metric as youreconcepting Two ways to do this: Work backwards from your targets business objectives ortraditional marketing ROI Work forward from a creative concept and define the ROI Defining the event ROI requires asmuch creativity as the event conceptand production Dont get bogged down in thinking aboutROI in traditional or straightforwardterms. Creative ROI measures sell.Melanie Altarescu #ElevateNYC 61. Traps Dont quickly default to social. Social willhave its place, but may not be the rightmetric to demonstrate return orsuccess. Social is usually the byproduct ofwhatever is actually the right ROImetricseparate the two Absolute numbers can be misleadingand easily forgottendevelop and framea metric that is memorable and that youcan own. Think Bigger. Think Beyond the Event.Melanie Altarescu #ElevateNYC 62. Sponsor Targeting Paradigms Assets. What are your assets? What do youhave that others do not? Stories. What unique stories are you telling atyour event? What are the subplots? Whatstories can authentically be told? How cansponsors tell their story differently than theyever have before? Data.
