Distribute Campaign Activities

Once a campaign has been created, a marketing list has been attached, activities specified, and all the pre-launch tasks have been done, you are ready to begin the campaign. In Microsoft Dynamics CRM, launch the campaign by distributing the activities you have created. Once you begin distributing activities, the campaign is officially underway and the activity owners begin performing the actions specified in the activities. You decide which activities to distribute and when. When you distribute activities, you can: Assign the activities, such as phone calls, to other users to complete Send emails to your targeted marketing list(s) Prepare files to send to a marketing vendor or partner
Procedure: Distribute Campaign Activities

1. In the Navigation Pane, click Marketing and then click Campaigns. 2. In the list, select and open the campaign to begin. 3. In the form's navigation pane, under Details, click Campaign Activities. 4. In the list, select and open the activities you want to distribute. To select more than one activity, while holding down the Ctrl key, click on the activity. 5. On the Standard toolbar, click Distribute Campaign Activity. 6. In the dialog enter the relevant information in the fields, including: Subject: Enter a description of the activity. Duration: The expect duration of the activity. Due: Enter the date and time that the activity should be completed.
Each activity has a different set of fields. For example, in phone calls, you can enter a phone script in the text box. In e-mails, you can enter the text of your e-mail. Refer to the Microsoft Dynamic CRM Help for more information. 7. When you are finished, click Distribute. 8. In the Confirmation Distribution dialog box, under Owner, select the user who owns the campaign activities from these options: The owners of the records in the target marketing list: The activities are assigned to the individuals who own each record and they are responsible for completing them. I will own the new activities: The activities are assigned to you and you are responsible for completing them.
14-2

Assign to another user or queue: The activities are assigned to a specific user or to a queue, from which users can pick up the activities to assume responsibility for completing them. If you choose this option, select the user or queue in the box below.
If you chose e-mail, to automatically send the e-mail when you finish the wizard, select Send e-mail messages automatically and close corresponding e-mail activities. Normally, activities appear in the activity list and must be performed by the assigned user. You can select this option to have the e-mail immediately sent when you click Distribute. 9. Click OK. The activities are distributed to the assign owners and appear under Activities in their Workplace. 10. Click Save and Close to close the Campaign Activity form. 11. Click Save and Close to close the Campaign form. NOTE: If the selected channel is blank or Other, the activity cannot be distributed to other owners. It remains in the campaign's activity queue for the campaign owner to complete or until you assign a specific channel to the activity.
Monitoring Marketing Campaigns

Once the campaign is underway, you can view the progress of activities and use standard reports to assess its progress.
View Campaign Activities

After adding activities, you can view the activities for a campaign from within the campaign record. 1. In the Navigation Pane, click Marketing, and then click Campaigns. 2. In the list, select and open the campaign. 3. In the form's navigation pane, under Details, click Campaign Activities. The list of campaign activities appears, including: The subject of the activity, such as purchase list from vendor. This information provides a brief description of what work must be completed. The person responsible for completing the activity.
14-3

The vendor that has been selected to perform the task. This information only appears if you have linked the vendor record to the activity. A vendor can be either an account or contact. The method in which the activity will be conducted. For example, this might be phone call if your sales staff has to contact customers by phone or e-mail if you plan to send electronic messages. The status of the activity. This can be proposed, canceled, or closed.
Several reports can assist the campaign manager, including: Campaign Activity Status: The report displays a summary for a campaign, including planned and actual time limits, parent campaign details, and definition status. Campaign Performance: The report provides a detailed view, including all the dates, targets, definitions, responses, and financial returns from each campaign. Campaign Comparison: The report compares two campaigns based on parameters such as cost effectiveness and number of responses.
During the execution of each activity, you can make modifications to the campaign to address changes in the competitive landscape, handle responses, or track undelivered mail. In addition, you can easily manage aspects of the campaign, including budget, timing, and leads that are generated based on campaign responses. For example, if a telemarketing firm is completing calls faster than you anticipated, you can use the leftover funds to purchase another list and have them contact more leads. When a campaign and its activities have been completed, you can close the campaign record. Closing it marks the end of the campaign, but retains the information for reporting purposes.
Capturing and Viewing Campaign Responses

The goal of any marketing campaign is to create measurable results. In Microsoft Dynamics CRM, campaign results are captured as campaign responses. Once customers are contacted based on campaign activities, you can expect responses. There are four ways to create campaign responses: Record them manually by creating a new campaign response. If a customer talks to you at the tradeshow, you can manually create a record. Promote a distributed campaign activity, such as a phone call, into a response.
14-4

Import responses from a vendor that is running the campaign for your organization. You can import these into Microsoft Dynamics CRM using the Data Import Wizard. When you import the file, individual campaign responses will be created as activities. For more information on importing files, refer to Lesson 8, Managing Leads. Automatically generate responses as a result of an e-mail campaign using mail merge, in which customers respond through e-mail messages. If a customer responds to the campaign by e-mail, Microsoft Dynamics CRM automatically creates the campaign response when the customer's e-mail is received. This option is only available if e-mail tracking is enabled. This is a setting your administrator can make in the system settings.
If created automatically, the campaign response inherits information from the activity that generated the customer's response. Some of the information generated includes: Parent Campaign - Indicates the campaign that generated this campaign response. Response Code - Indicates the interest level of the respondent or indicates if the person does not want to receive marketing materials. Customer - Shows the customer record specified in the campaign activity. Channel - Indicates the type of campaign activity that generated the response, such as a phone call. Received on - Indicates the date when the response was created. Originating Activity - Provides a link to the campaign activity that was used to create the response. Subject - Matches the subject entered of the originating activity, if the response came from a campaign activity. Outsource Vendor - Shows either the account or the contact person at the vendor your organization is working with on the campaign. Owner - Provides a link to the record of the user who created the original campaign activity or, if the campaign response was not generated from a campaign activity, the person creating the record. Priority - Matches the priority setting entered on the Campaign Activity form.

Analyzing Marketing Information

To get the most of your campaigns, analyze the results of the campaigns. Good analysis requires entering and tracking the correct data. Prior to initiating a campaign, determine what kind of analysis the organization wants to do and create workflow processes or other procedures to ensure the correct data is entered. Microsoft Dynamics CRM makes all your target lists and campaign data available in a centralized location. You can use the search capabilities and reporting tools to track previous campaigns, proposed campaigns, and upcoming campaigns, and use the information to make adjustments in campaign planning, and upcoming campaigns. The system's reporting features can also be used to validate delivery mechanisms. For instance, you could run a report to see if the target market responded better to a direct mailing or an e-mail campaign. Then, using the results of this data, you can change future campaigns to the better method, improving their overall success. You can use Microsoft Dynamics CRM reports to assess both the operational and financial performance of a campaign. Campaign management analysis can include using: Campaign views - Use the View field to choose one of four standard views. These views include related strategic campaign information. They can be accessed from the View field on the Campaign form. Campaign tactical activity execution information - Enable marketing and sales executives to monitor list activity, which can aid in tracking campaign success within a sales force. A comparison of two campaigns - Determine which one was more successful. Group responses by channel source - Use the channel code on the marketing activity to determine which source of leads was the most effective.
14-10

Simple metrics - Determine the number of leads and cost per lead. Complex metrics - Determine the value of profits generated per total burdened dollar spent on the campaign.
Scenario
A marketing staff member returns from a sales team meeting with comments about a competitor product that is doing well because of a better marketing effort. The staff member recalls that the company intends to do a direct mailing campaign for this product, and then searches the marketing area to locate the following: Product campaigns that were run during the last six months Product campaigns planned for the next three months
The direct mailing campaign starts in one month, with a status of ready for launch. However, comparison reports indicate that an e-mail campaign is more effective than direct mailers. The marketing staff member recommends that the channel be changed for this campaign to e-mails.
Assessing the Campaign

Reporting and analysis are not only conducted at the end of campaign. For example, your marketing manager can use activity views and campaign activity reports to manage the execution and associated workflow processes. Workflow processes might be used to: Manage the campaign-related activities View the number of opportunity-related activities being generated Identify where leads and opportunities are low or are slowing down
At any time the marketing staff and sales representatives should be able to look for marketing related information in their content. They can view the following types of information: Status of campaigns planned Status of campaigns running Status of campaigns recently ended Analysis on archived campaigns (reports) Results from campaigns: Direct results - actual responses to campaigns, banner clicks, telephonic responses. Indirect results - sales orders logged with the campaign identifiers, quotes extended, and increase in sales.
