Measure the effectiveness of your event with the impact monitor

Want to be sure that your project, event, or campaign has delivered the results you had in mind? The impact monitor has been developed to provide a clear and reliable overview of this. It not only gives you insight into the hard figures, such as visitor numbers, repeat visits, and both on-site and off-site spending, but also into the deeper impact of your efforts.

The impact monitor combines quantitative data for statistical analysis with qualitative insights that go beyond the surface. These include changes in attitude and perception, visitor flows, and the development of your image. By bringing these elements together, the impact monitor provides a complete picture of your results and gives you the tools to make targeted improvements or further build on your success.

How is an impact monitor carried out?

The impact monitor is a type of research that is never conducted according to a fixed design. This is because every concept, every market, and every organization is different. In addition, the insights that are already available and those that need to be investigated (further) vary per concept and organization. An impact monitor will therefore always be tailor-made, and we will use our expertise to determine the right design and content together with you.

With the impact monitor, we combine qualitative and quantitative research to measure the success of your project, event, or campaign. Quantitative data provides a clear numerical overview of, for example, visitor numbers, repeat visits, and financial effects such as on-site and off-site spending. Qualitative data, on the other hand, offers valuable insight: it provides insight into attitude changes, visitor experiences, and the development of your image. By bringing these elements together, you get a complete and accurate picture of the actual impact of your efforts.

What are the benefits of an impact monitor?

An impact monitor clearly maps out the results of your project, event, or campaign. We can compare these results with those of a previous campaign or a similar project in another region. Thanks to our collaboration with external experts, we apply the input-output model within the research, which allows us to accurately calculate the economic impact of tourism and recreation in a specific region.

The impact monitor is often used by organizers to support grant applications. It is a versatile research tool that was developed in collaboration with various destination marketers. The monitor can be used consistently for festivals, areas, or multiple editions, providing insight into trends and developments. However, the monitor is also flexible enough to be used on a one-off or stand-alone basis, depending on your needs. We are happy to help you decide.
