Measure Ecommerce Campaign Success Using UTM Short Links

Introduction

If you’re running an ecommerce store, you probably promote your products across multiple channels social media, email newsletters, Google Ads, or influencers.
But how do you know which campaign actually brings in the most sales?

With UTM-enabled short links, you can track every campaign and understand which source, ad, or channel is driving real revenue.

Scenario

Your marketing team is running:

• An email blast promoting new arrivals.
• An Instagram story featuring your latest collection.
• A Facebook ad offering limited-time discounts.

You want to see which of these channels is bringing in more traffic and conversions.

This is where UTM tracking helps by giving you a clear picture of performance for each campaign.

How to Use UTM Links for Ecommerce Campaign Tracking

Step 1: Create UTM Links for Each Channel

Use linkutm Builder to generate unique UTM links for every campaign and channel.

Example:
Your product link:
https://yourstore.com/collections/new-arrivals

Now, add UTM parameters to track each campaign:

Email Campaign:

https://yourstore.com/collections/new-arrivals?utm_source=email&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=new_arrival_launch

Instagram Promo:

https://yourstore.com/collections/new-arrivals?utm_source=instagram&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=new_arrival_launch

Facebook Ad:

https://yourstore.com/collections/new-arrivals?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=ads&utm_campaign=new_arrival_launch

Step 2: Shorten Your Links

Long URLs can look messy, especially on social media.
Use linkutm.com to shorten them:

• http://linkutm.com/x/new-email
• http://linkutm.com/x/new-insta
• http://linkutm.com/x/new-fb

Short links look clean and make tracking much easier.

Step 3: Track Results in Analytics

After your campaigns go live, open your Google Analytics (GA4) dashboard → Acquisition → Campaigns.
You’ll see which UTM-tagged links brought:

• The most visitors
• The most orders
• The highest revenue

You can compare campaign performance across email, ads, and social channels.

Example Use Case

After running your promotions:

• Email campaign: 1,500 clicks → 80 orders → ₹1,20,000 revenue
• Instagram promo: 2,200 clicks → 50 orders → ₹75,000 revenue
• Facebook ad: 1,000 clicks → 90 orders → ₹1,40,000 revenue

The data shows Facebook ads convert better, even with fewer clicks.
Now, your team can invest more in the campaigns that bring the highest ROI.

• Always use consistent UTM naming (same campaign name across channels).

• Shorten links for easy sharing and clean visuals.
• Check performance weekly to optimize your ad spend.
