However, judging the success of such 'display arrangements' in the light of aim of trade shows is possible by using a BSC (Balanced Scorecard) strategy. This depends on the KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) to measure the efforts of organizers.

The performance indicators include: booth staff check, professionalism, expertise, sufficiency of the personnel, social skills, dress code, display booth check, visual impact, overall layout and configuration, product display, graphics, lighting, print materials check, text readability, readability of charts and graphs, suitability of materials, strategy and tactics check, strategy controller, pre-show initiatives, activities during the event, post-show follow-up, lure excellence.
