To find your event ROI quickly & easily, the simplest way is to sum all revenues and expenses and then subtract total expenses from total revenues (Event revenue – Event expense = Event returns). This is the fastest possible method to calculate your return on investment. Please note that this, however, does not include other more important event attributes viz. leads generated, returning attendees, meetings requested, marketing campaigns, attendee engagement, customer satisfaction, Press mentions, social network influence etc.
To add and manage your budget, you should use a full-fledged budget management tool to manage & calculate your revenues & expenses. Using Dryfta’s budget management tool, you can add revenues & expenses for your event and let Dryfta calculate your event’s return on investment. For more intensive data collection, you can also create separate categories for both revenue and expense items, add notes, set target budget and actual expenses for each item.
