   1. For marketing Hub subscriptions, you have 2 options to select how you would like to calculate your campaign ROI. See below. 
      
      Revenue: calculates ROI based on the total revenue amount from closed-won deals associated with the campaign.
      
      Associated deal value: calculates ROI based on the sum of the total deal amount for all closed-won deals with revenue.

   3. If you have a Marketing Hub Enterprise subscription, select from the following options:

6. In the performance tab, you will see your ROI report, which is based on the calculation settings you selected.

Campaign ROI Use cases:

ROI analysis is valuable for various campaigns, including:

- Exhibition/event campaign - This will allow you to decide if the event was a success or is the event worth returning next year 

- New product launch campaign - How successful was the launch? What were the best-performing channels that you used

- An influencer marketing campaign - Did the influencer bring value? and did this turn into sales?

Once you have it all set up, you can now monitor the effectiveness of your campaigns and measure success much easier than before, either viewing it directly in the tool itself or building a dashboard overlooking the ROI on all your campaigns.
