If you've set up an ongoing campaign in Buzzbassador, you might reach a point where you need to set an end date and wrap things up. An ongoing campaign means there's no scheduled end date, and all associated rules and activities continue indefinitely. But don't worry—ending an ongoing campaign is straightforward, and I'll walk you through the steps.
Why Choose an Ongoing Campaign?
Ongoing campaigns are ideal when you're uncertain about the exact end date of your campaign. This flexibility allows you to get started without needing to commit to a specific timeline. Whether you're testing the waters or want to keep the campaign running until you achieve certain goals, this feature is a great option.
