This session will introduce practical ways to use ROI and key metrics to track and measure event success. You’ll learn what data to gather before, during, and after events and how to interpret it to understand impact. We’ll also explore how to evaluate your store’s current event capacity, from staffing to sales potential, so you can make informed decisions about growth.
