About the Step & Repeat ROI Calculator

Step & Repeat banners are more than just backdrops—they’re branding engines at events. Every photo snapped in front of your banner becomes a piece of free marketing, often reaching thousands of people on social media or in press coverage.

The Step & Repeat ROI Calculator helps you put numbers behind that exposure. Instead of guessing how much value your banner brings, you can calculate it based on event size, media presence, and photo reach multipliers. This makes it easy to see how your investment stacks up against other forms of advertising or sponsorship.

Key Features of the Calculator

  • Event-Specific Inputs – Tailored for trade shows, press conferences, red carpet events, product launches, and private functions.
  • Photo & Social Reach Factor – Measure the ripple effect of every selfie, media shot, or sponsored photo wall moment.
  • PR & Sponsorship Value Estimation – Compare the real cost of impressions to equivalent ad spend.
  • Clear ROI Formula – Understand the relationship between setup costs, exposure, and customer value.
  • Optimizations & Suggestions – See how adjusting event size, design placement, or branding mix could boost your returns.

Why This Calculator Matters

Unlike outdoor signage, Step & Repeat banners thrive on visibility through photography. Attendees engage directly, and photos extend the exposure for days, weeks, or even months afterward. With this calculator, you can:

  • Quantify the extended life of your branding beyond the event.
  • Justify sponsorship costs with measurable PR value.
  • Decide whether a premium Step & Repeat setup is worth the additional spend.
  • Show clients or partners the data-backed impact of logo placement at events.

  • Brands hosting launches or red carpets to evaluate media reach.
