Modified on Thu, 26 Jan, 2023 at 6:28 PM

This article explains what marketing campaigns and activities are and the best practices for setting them up. 

 

Marketing campaigns give you the ability to track revenue based on how your customer found you (marketing activity). For example, you may advertise on Facebook, yellow pages, google ads, and word of mouth and you want to track how much revenue is generated from each marketing avenue. Marketing campaigns can assist with this.
