      Email Marketing Review from Karena Thek

      I took a leap of faith several months ago when I hired Email Broadcast. … [The] team is precise and professional. I can rely on them to do exactly what they say they will do—and more. They have worked hard to not only uphold their end of the to-do list but also to send me extensive comments about bettering the website to improve ROI once an email is sent. The emails that have been sent look professional and are in my voice and style. The SuperCollector™ to gather emails of those visiting my site are clean and inviting—just the way I wish I had the skill to do and would do if I wasn’t so busy running my business. I can’t imagine that a forward-facing email campaign that looks this professional would be anything but a huge success.

      Just renewed my lease - I love this building! The location is literally perfect you’re right in the middle of everything, and it has a unique boutique-feel compared to other buildings in the area. Repairs are usually done by the next day and we just got new security entry technology which is a huge plus. All my neighbors are chill asf. Great place to live

Not only did Gianni deliver an exceptional package, but she went above and beyond to assist me with incredible attention to detail on every aspect of the project. This company provides excellent service, quick turnaround, and absolute customer satisfaction. My EPK is stronger and much more user friendly thanks to their expertise. I will work with them again and again.

How much does event marketing cost?

The costs vary significantly based on scale, complexity, and objectives. According to Amex report, on average, 14% of a marketing budget goes toward event marketing. Furthermore, according to statistics, U.S. companies spend approximately $122 billion every year on event marketing.

Event size  Cost
Small events (intimate product launches, executive dinners, or localized brand activations) $15,000-$40,000 
Mid-sized events (regional conferences, multi-day trade show presences, or larger product launches)  $75,000-$250,000 
Large-scale or multi-city events, including national conferences, major experiential campaigns, or flagship annual events  $500,000+

According to GoGather's benchmarking data, the typical conference budget in the United States is approximately $1.89 million, accommodating an average of 601 attendees, with a per-person expenditure of about $3,144

What additional costs should I expect when working with these types of agencies?

Beyond base agency fees, several additional expenses commonly arise during event execution.

Typical additional costs include:

  • Venue rental: One of the largest line items, varying dramatically by location and prestige
  • Travel and accommodation: For staff, speakers, and sometimes attendees
  • Event staffing: Registration personnel, brand ambassadors, and technical crew
  • Permits and insurance: Required for many public or large-scale events
  • AV equipment: Sound systems, screens, lighting, and technical infrastructure
  • Catering: Food and beverage accounting for roughly 30% of the total budget
  • Insurance coverage: Liability and cancellation protection
  • Post-event content: Photography, videography, and content repurposing

According to GoGather's data, food and beverage alone accounts for 29.9% of the total conference budget, with an average spend of $565,000, translating to approximately $940 per attendee.

The additional costs typically add 25% to 50% to base budgets, depending on event scope and production requirements.
