Track how a Spring Sale campaign influenced daily revenue and order volume over a 30-day period.

🔍 Business Questions:

  • How did revenue and order volume trend before, during, and after the Spring Sale?
  • Was there a spike in purchases or visits from campaign-specific traffic?
  • Which channels contributed most to the trend?

🧩 Step-by-Step Setup in CJA


✅ Step 1: Freeform Table Setup

  1. Open a new Freeform Panel.
  2. Rows: Drag in Day (time dimension).
  3. Columns: Drag in these metrics:
    • Revenue
    • Orders
    • Visits
    • Cart Additions (optional)

✅ Step 2: Apply Campaign Segment

Use a segment like:

  • “Campaign = Spring Sale”
    or create a custom segment based on UTM tags, campaign name, or marketing channel.

You can also create a comparison with a segment like:

  • “Campaign ≠ Spring Sale” (to compare behavior of non-campaign traffic)

✅ Step 3: Line Chart Visualization

  1. Click the chart icon on the Freeform Table.
  2. Choose Line Chart.
  3. You’ll now see how Revenue, Orders, and Visits trend daily.

✅ Step 4: Annotate Key Dates

  • Add an annotation for the campaign launch date (e.g., "Spring Sale Launch – March 15").
  • Add another for when the campaign ended.

✅ Step 5: Breakdown by Marketing Channel (Optional)

To understand which channels drove the trend:

  • Drag Marketing Channel as a breakdown on the Orders or Revenue metric.
  • This lets you see how channels like Email, Paid Search, and Social performed.
