Event professionals understand the importance of mapping attendee journeys in order to learn their customer preferences, behaviors and deliver a better overall experience. While event technology plays a critical role in the mapping process, we believe there also needs to be a solid strategy aimed at optimizing the journey as a means for brand discovery.
We try to constantly reevaluate the consumer journey, expanding on technologies and experiences consumed by the attendees at each touch point. What are all the consumer/brand touch-points at your experiential marketing campaign? Have you thought about them all?
