And doing so with the help of UTM parameters is a great way to get started.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A UTM parameter, or a campaign parameter, is short bits of code to a URL. UTM codes tell you which sources bring tons of traffic and which underperform. This data comes in handy to understand which campaign you should keep running and which should be adjusted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sure, you can also monitor your campaigns in other ways. But using UTM codes allows you to track the performance of every email sent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah, that&#8217;s right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This article will walk you through how to use UTM codes to track your email campaigns.

This can be invaluable in understanding a customer&#8217;s buying behavior and preferences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides, these parameters also give businesses valuable insights into how their email campaigns perform. It&#8217;ll help them make more informed decisions based on the data they get so that they can maximize their return on investment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, UTM parameters are easy to set up and use. You can create custom UTM codes to track or even take advantage of the pre-made templates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, UTM codes are cost-efficient. Most platforms will allow you to track customer interaction at zero extra cost, making it ideal for a small business with a limited budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Add_UTM_Parameters_to_an_Email\"><\/span><b>How to Add UTM Parameters to an Email?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is how you can add a UTM parameter to an email.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, you must configure your email campaign with a link encoded with your chosen UTM codes. You can do it by adding the necessary query string at the end of the destination URL.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These attributes should include the source, medium, and campaign. For example, your link may look something like this:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><code class=\"blog-code\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\">example.com\/product?utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=May-Campaign<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/code><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then insert the link into the email body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, you can double-check UTM codes by sending a test email to your account. Once you\u2019ve received the email in your inbox, you can monitor if Google Analytics has tracked all the links correctly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following the steps outlined above, you can easily add UTM codes to an email and begin tracking your email campaigns.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Expert_Tips_to_Use_UTM_Parameters_in_Your_Marketing_Campaigns\"><\/span><b>Expert Tips to Use UTM Parameters in Your Marketing Campaigns<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As important as it is, UTM tracking alone isn&#8217;t enough.

But if you were to pick one, go for dashes: they work better than everything else.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_Overdo_it\"><\/span><b>Don\u2019t Overdo it<\/b><span
