Functionality for storing/reporting campaign costs
March 25, 2010, 10:45:00 am
Hi!

I am looking for a solution to enter a campaign cost (i.e. production costs for offline postal campaigns).

This is the workflow I have in mind:
1. When a postal campaign is created, the user would enter the campaign cost e.g. $10.000
2. As contributions are made in response to the letters, the contributions would show up in a contribution report for that campaign, along with the cost of the campaign, so that return of investment can be calculated.

Any ideas as to how this can be accomplished in CiviCRM? (with or without programming)
see attached image for an idea of how the report for a certain campaign might look like.


Any tips on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

how are you managing campaigns? to a large extent i think the answer depends on that

note that a contribution page has a total goal amount that you can potentially use
