Metrics and ROI – Start With The End In Mind

Pro Motion has been in business for 20 years!

measuring roi-start with the end in mind20 years! That’s a long time!

We have planned and activated so many fun and cool programs over the past 20 years, but none of them would have happened or been successful if objectives and metrics had not been put into place during the planning phase of each of these programs.

During the planning of an experiential marketing campaign, whether it is a mobile vehicle tour, a street team program, or an event, your campaign needs to start with the end in mind.

Ask yourself: What needs to happen in order for your program to get funded and for you to look like a rock star because your goals and objectives were met or exceeded?

We have planned many mobile vehicle tours, streets teams, and events for our B-to-C and B-to-B clients:

  • power tools
  • gardening tools
  • duct tape
  • cable networks
  • entertainment properties
  • beverages
  • etc.

…and each of these clients either came to us with metrics to be tracked or we provided our input and expertise to assist with these objectives.

  • Power Tools
