drop box or desktop folder for scheduling and planning the content for the week. Such sites also
help in backing and storing the information (Bene, 2018). The size of the image should be
around 600* 900 pixels so that infographics could perform even better. Although the Instagram
update helps in including the link in Bio section of the ID which allow the visitor to know the
details about the company product and services. The Instagram h picture resolution should be of
high quality 1080*1080 pixels.

8.0 Metrics for evaluating campaign success
The marketing team of M&S organization will use or review the following metrics in order
to check and evaluate the digital campaign success:
 Increase in followers: This is one of the metrics which is used by the marketing team of
M&S where they will review the followers on their social media sites. In case if the
follower on M&S social platforms such as Facebook, Twitter etc. will increase by
150000 within the next 6 months than it can be said that the digital campaign of M&S is
successful (Bonnevie and et.al., 2020). This measure also indicate that majority of target
audience has viewed their campaign and they are now aware about their clothing and
food quality. The impact of which they have started following M&S on different social
sites.
 Number of people reached campaign: Another metrics used by M&S organization in
order to evaluate the success of its digital campaign and summer sales is number of
people that have reached their campaign. It is basically evaluating by the company via
analysing the number of views on digital campaign video. If the views on digital
campaign is more than 500000 within 5 days of publishing the event than it can be said
that the digital campaign such as Summer sales of M&S organization is successful. The
impact of which the profitability of company will increase (Haluga, Miljkovic and
Kurecic, 2021).
 Average engagement rates: The average engagement rates are one of the best metrics to
evaluate the digital campaign success. This metrics is basically used by the marketing
team of M&S to evaluate its digital marketing campaign. Under this method, the
company basically identifies the number of likes, shares and retweets on summer

vacation campaign on social media platform such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn,
Instagram and Pin-interest (Awad and et.al., 2020). If the number of likes, shares and
retweets is more than 200K, 100K and 50K respectively than, then it can be indicating
that the campaign is successful otherwise not.
 Increase in sales revenue and market share: Last matrix used by the marketing team of
M&S company in order to evaluate the success of campaign is sales revenue and market
share. It means if the sales revenue of company is increased by 10% and market share
rate increase by 15% then it can be said that the campaign is successful. It is because the
main objective of company behind conducting this summer event and digital campaign is
to enhance the sales and market share of the company (Desai, 2019). Also, the increasing
the awareness of M&S brand and products such as cloth and food quality is also one of
the goal which the marketing team want to achieve through digital marketing campaign.
