Every campaign should allow for a tracking device and an expectation. There is no use throwing good money after bad. Use the results to redesign the next promotion and learn from your mistakes. Advertising isn’t an exact science and needs constant tweaking and experimentation. Don’t be discouraged by poor results. Instead, learn
