What analytics should I set up before launching my Mother's Day campaign?
The short answer
In depth
Analytics Setup Before Mother's Day Launch
Analytics setup mistakes are almost always discovered after the campaign is over, when the data cannot be recovered. A 2-3 hour pre-launch analytics checklist prevents the most common data gaps and ensures your post-campaign analysis has the granularity needed to make meaningful improvements next year.
Pre-Launch Analytics Checklist
| Setup Task | Tool | Estimated Time |
|---|---|---|
| UTM parameter convention | All campaign links | 30 minutes |
| GA4 date segment | Google Analytics 4 | 15 minutes |
| Checkout conversion event | GA4 plus Shopify | 30-60 minutes |
| Email campaign tagging | Email platform | 30 minutes |
| Baseline report saved | GA4 plus Shopify admin | 15 minutes |
UTM Convention for Mother's Day
- utm_campaign - mothers-day-2026 (consistent across all channels)
- utm_source - email, sms, facebook, google (channel-specific)
- utm_medium - email, paid, organic (medium-specific)
- utm_content - subject-line-variant or ad-creative-name for A/B test tracking
