The challenge

Events were treated as isolated brand moments without structured follow-up or clear revenue goals. There was limited visibility into how event engagement translated into in-store visits or purchases. Sales and field teams lacked clear pre- and post-event playbooks for outreach and conversion. Customer data from events was not consistently captured, integrated, or activated in downstream systems. Attribution for event impact was anecdotal rather than quantitative.
