Many small business owners don’t know how effective their marketing efforts are. They don’t have a system for organizing their campaigns.
What Is a Marketing Campaign?
Think of a campaign like a container for specific marketing efforts. Many companies have Black Friday sales. That is an example of a campaign.
A marketing campaign helps savvy business owners measure marketing efforts accurately. They can know exactly what is working and where to increase spend and where to decrease spend.
Campaigns also help with organization and clarity.
The 5 Types of Campaigns
- Nurture
- Lead Gen
- Sales
- Follow-Up
- Internal
There’s a general purpose or goal for each type of campaign.
Nurture
Purpose: Help customers win and lead them gently down the path to future sales.
Lead Gen
Purpose: Get new customers or leads by giving something for free in exchange for their email.
Sales
Close the deal with a series of emails to turn a lead into a customer.
Follow-Up
Ask for a review, future re-sell, cross-sell, up-sell, abandoned cart recovery, survey, etc.
Internal
Could be getting employees to sign up for a charity event, participate in a health insurance plan, etc

When you don’t use campaigns as the container for your marketing efforts you will not have clarity around what is working.
Here’s a screenshot from campaigns in Google Analytics. See how there’s no organization in the campaign naming convention. Keep in mind the $767 revenue attributed to a campaigns
The next screenshot is for “All Traffic”. Notice the $4,705 total revenue. There is going to be revenue that isn’t attributed to a campaign however, in this example only 16% is attributed to a campaign. That’s fishy 🐟 and is a major red flag that something wasn’t set up correctly with the campaigns.
