Introduction to Campaigns
A campaign is a marketing project intended to draw new customers to
your business. A campaign allows you to track the effectiveness
of your marketing. Keep track of your marketing campaign's budgeted
cost, actual cost, number of leads generated, number of customers
gained, total revenue generated etc. You will be able to track which
campaigns worked and which ones didn't, thus enabling you to get the
most out of your marketing efforts. If you are preparing a mail, email or
phone campaign, you will need to come up with a list of people you
are planning to contact. Be sure that your target list is well researched.
This will ensure high quality prospects. Campaigns are executed outside of salesboom.com Campaign
results need to be entered manually, with the exception of online
campaigns such as those through email and the web. You can use links
along with the Campaign Web Capture Tool when conducting
email and web campaigns. Here are some online examples:
Email:
- Set up a Campaign Web Capture Tool.
- Provide a link to the web capture tool page in the marketing
emails you send.
- A new lead will be captured when the user submits the web capture
form you created.
- The campaign keeps track of the number of leads captured using
the web capture tool.
Web:
- Set up a Campaign Web Capture Tool.
- Provide a link to the web capture tool as part of your web advertisement.
- A new lead will be captured when the user submits the web capture
form you created.
- The campaign keeps track of the number of leads captured using
the web capture tool.
There are two ways to track responses to your campaign efforts:
- Manually Enter Responses Responses to your marketing
campaign that are received via phone or email will have to be
entered manually as a new lead. To manually enter a response,
click the Add Lead to Campaign button located
in the leads section of your campaign's detail page.
- Web Capture Responses Use the Campaign We Capture
Tool to create an HTML form to be filled out by people
who respond to your marketing campaign. You may refer people to
your web site by providing a link in an email or internet advertisement
or by having your web address printed on a poster or displayed
in a television ad. Be sure that the link you provide will point
potential customers to necessary information about your company
or product as well as the campaign web capture form. Remember,
a user may be more likely to fill out the form if it does not
ask for too much information.
When your campaign is complete, review the results. You will be able
to determine if your campaign was under budget, the number of leads
obtained, the number of leads who became customers, the amount of
revenue generated and much more. |
