What analytics should I set up before launching my Mother's Day campaign?

Setting up analytics correctly before a Mother's Day campaign launches ensures all performance data is captured cleanly and can be analyzed after the campaign closes. Merchants who skip pre-campaign analytics setup often find key data is missing or mixed with baseline traffic, making post-campaign ROI measurement unreliable.

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Set up five analytics components before Mother's Day launches: UTM parameters on all campaign URLs, a GA4 custom segment for the holiday date range, enhanced e-commerce tracking on the checkout confirmation page, email campaign tagging in your email platform, and a baseline revenue report from the same period last year. This takes 2-3 hours to configure and prevents the most common post-campaign measurement gaps.

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.
