Post authored by De-de Mulligan, President & Chief Content Strategist, Mulligan Management Group. Without fail, it happens every year. A certain percentage of your conference participants don’t return. Don’t renew their association membership. They disappeared. This is attendee churn. A little is expected. A lot raises eyebrows in the executive offices, which is something no one wants to experience.

If your conference is like most, sponsorship revenue is underperforming. There are two benchmarks we like to use to identify healthy conference revenue business models: Industry revenue — 30 percent or more of a conference’s total revenue should come from the combination of sponsor, exhibit and advertising revenue. Expo/sponsor revenue ratio — for every $3 in expo revenue, a thriving sponsor program will generate $1 of revenue or more (a 3-to-1 or better ratio).

Swag bags need a serious glow up! Don’t get me wrong; I love a t-shirt sporting a snappy saying or a new vinyl sticker for my Hydro Flask. But let’s get real, most of these “goodies” end up in the hotel garbage can instead of stuffed into my already overweight suitcase for the return flight. And the stuff that does make it home ends up being given away to my coworkers or lands on the office bookshelf, destined to collect dust for eternity.

A corporate event marketer’s purview often includes a wide spectrum of events across the enterprise, with assorted attendee profiles, scale and objectives. The marketing and management strategy for a webinar differs, in some ways significantly, from the strategies for launching a multi-day user conference, for example. Juggling a portfolio of these dissimilar events can be a challenging experience; it’s easy to get lost in the tasks, mix up goals and approaches, and lose sight of brand consisten

Banners, ads, signs and enhanced listings shouldn’t be lumped into the same category — they don’t make that emotional connection. Recently I’ve received invitations to attend webinars and download industry research reports and articles all aimed to help conference and show organizers grow sponsorship revenue.
