- 25. What is a Campaign? A Campaign is a marketing initiative that you track in Salesforce Email Customer Events Outdoor Advertising Training (yes, training) Print PPC, Organic Web Traffic Social Media Public Relations / Press Releases Direct Mail Client Entertainment Trade Shows Promotions Telemarketing Etc.
- 26. Campaigns - It's all about ROI! Campaigns allow you to see which initiatives (marketing spend) have the best return For example: Was attending the trade show in Chicago last year worth it, and if so, should we buy a bigger booth next year? We entertained guests with our stadium box seats, did it close any business? What advertising components of our product launch produced the best results?
- 27. With Campaigns, you can: Target and market to existing Leads and Contacts Generate new Leads Track response rates on a Campaign Track Lead conversion rates on a Campaign Attribute Opportunities to a Campaign Calculate ROI
- 28. Mechanics of launching a Campaign Create the Campaign Determine your Campaign Member Status Target Leads and Contacts Launch! (and communicate internally) Measure
- 29. Create the Campaign – standard fields to know Parent Campaign – allows multiple individual Campaigns to be associated to a larger initiative Type – A dropdown (picklist) used to categorize your Campaigns • e.g. Print, Direct Mail, Outdoor, Email, Webinar, Social Media, PR, etc. Status – A "lifecycle" pick list field • e.g. Idea, Planned, Budgeted, Deployed, In Progress, Complete, Abandoned Active – This checkbox is what makes a Campaign visible to your users! Actual Costs – (used in ROI calculation)
- 30. Campaign Member Status A dropdown (picklist) to know if a Lead or Contact has been targeted (sent) or responded to a Campaign Direct Mail Simple Example: “Sent” and “Responded” Custom Event Complex Example: • Default: Mailed • Responded: RSVP, Attended, No Show Sometimes you only know who responded (not sent): • Outdoor advertising, PPC, Press Release, etc.
- 31. Methods to associate a person (Lead or Contact) to a Campaign Manually – using the “Add to Campaign” button on Leads and Contacts View – On Leads or Contacts Tab have a “Add to Campaign” Button Report – Leads or Contact Reports have “Add to Campaign” Button Manage Members – on the Campaign (add or update status, or use a file) Data Loader – use when you have more than 50,0000 records
- 32. Launch! (and communicate internally) Check the “Active” checkbox on the Campaign Educate and communicate to Sales to be sure they are giving credit to Opportunities for your Campaigns
- 33. Measure the Results On the Campaign you can see roll-ups of your Campaign Members, Responses, Lead Conversion and Opportunities From the Campaign Tab, you can run the ROI report ROI is expressed as a percentage. Anything over 100% is a “winner” Formula: (Total Value Won Opportunities - Actual Cost) / Actual Cost
