Timing Your Campaign Refreshes for Optimal Results
Creating new campaigns at strategic intervals helps maintain campaign performance and ensures continuous lead generation. This guide explains when to launch new campaigns and how to make data-driven decisions about campaign timing.
Monitoring Campaign Progress
To check your current campaign status:
Head to https://send.listkit.io and sign into your account.
Head to the Email Campaign tab.
Here you will see the progress bar of your campaign. Once it hits 65%+ is when I’d start to look to make a new campaign.
Understanding Campaign Lifecycle
The campaign progress percentage represents how many leads have completed the full email sequence. As this percentage increases, it indicates your campaign is maturing:
Progress Indicators and What They Mean
0-25%: Campaign is in early stages; focus on monitoring initial results
25-50%: Campaign is established; analyze metrics to identify optimization opportunities
50-65%: Campaign is mature; begin planning your next campaign
65%+: Campaign is nearing completion; time to launch a new campaign
Strategic Timing for New Campaigns
The 65% Threshold
When your campaign reaches 65% completion, this is the optimal time to prepare a new campaign because:
You have sufficient data to evaluate current campaign performance
Most high-engagement prospects have already responded
Remaining leads have lower response probability
You maintain campaign continuity without gaps in outreach
Your sending infrastructure stays active and warm
Additional Timing Considerations
Beyond the 65% threshold, consider these factors when deciding to create a new campaign:
Performance Indicators
Response rates have plateaued after initial engagement
Meeting or demo bookings have significantly decreased
Open rates show declining trends across the last 7-14 days
Strategic Business Factors
Seasonal changes affecting your target market
New product or service offerings to promote
Target audience shifts requiring different messaging
Preparing Your Next Campaign
As your current campaign approaches the 65% mark, take these steps to prepare:
Analyze current campaign metrics to identify successful elements
Review prospect feedback for messaging insights
Prepare fresh lead lists using ListKit's targeting features
Refine your value proposition based on successful conversations
Design A/B tests to improve on your current results

Best Practices for Campaign Transitions
When transitioning between campaigns:
Overlap timing to ensure continuous pipeline activity
Tag leads appropriately to prevent cross-campaign duplication
Compare performance metrics between campaigns to identify trends
Gradually introduce changes rather than completely overhauling successful elements
By strategically timing your new campaigns around the 65% completion threshold, you'll maintain a consistent flow of qualified leads while incorporating improvements based on data-driven insights.
