Generating Analysis and report on campaigns is very important. Create campaign fields in early stage to customize campaigns. Customizing campaigns helps us to improve the targeting  and customer segmentation. Through this we can compare and analyse which types of campaigns are the most effective for our sales and marketing teams.

When targeting with new Leads, marketing team targets new leads through third party lists. These third party lists suspects, prospects or leads can be flagged in salesforce with a specific indicator. By flagging with different records or assigning to different queue, these lead records can be kept apart from existing prospects so that any pre-qualification or De-duplicating can be done before they are available for use in campaigns.
