Trade Show Marketing
Investment Pitch Deck

Why Now and What Urgent Problem Are You Solving?

The market needs measurable trade show ROI, moving beyond expensive, unanalyzed booth fabrication. Clients are tired of high costs and zero accountability, creating a clear demand for integrated strategy, design, and Post-Show Analytics services.

The Trade Show Accountability Gap

• Trade shows are high-cost, high-risk investments without clear metrics.
• Clients need data-driven insights, not just flashy Booth Design.
• Your service mix offers a comprehensive, stress-free solution.

What Do You Do and Why Will You Win?

You provide end-to-end Trade Show Marketing services, specializing in high-value Strategic Consulting and data-driven execution. You will win by maintaining a high gross margin and rapidly improving Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) efficiency.

High Margin, Efficient Scaling

Your business operates with a high gross margin. In 2026, Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) is only 15.0% of revenue (12.0% Subcontractor Fees + 3.0% Software Licenses). Total variable costs are 24.0% (including Sales Commissions and Travel), yielding a strong contribution margin.

• Strategic Consulting (80% of customers) and Booth Design (70% of customers) drive initial revenue.
• CAC drops aggressively from $2,500 in 2026 to $1,200 by 2030, proving marketing efficiency.
• Focus on recurring clients and long-term strategic partnerships for stable revenue.

Who Buys and How Big is the Opportunity?

The opportunity targets B2B technology, healthcare, and manufacturing companies in the US that exhibit annually. The financial model shows strong scaling, projecting EBITDA to grow from a $82,000 loss in Year 1 (2026) to $4,075,000 by Year 5 (2030).

Service Value and Financial Upside

Your core services are priced competitively, with Strategic Consulting billed at $175.0 per hour (2026) and Booth Design at $160.0 per hour (2026). The model demonstrates a 6.99% Return on Equity (ROE), validating the long-term profitability of the integrated service model.

• Strategic Consulting averages 10.0 billable hours per client in 2026, generating high-value revenue.
• Booth Design requires 25.0 billable hours per client, acting as a major project fee anchor.
• The strong EBITDA growth confirms the scalability of the B2B trade show presentation model.
