# Mark a Social Marketing Campaign as Complete

Review all sections and mark your social marketing campaign as complete in PEARS.

Before a social marketing campaign can be marked as complete, all required sections must be finished. PEARS validates each section and displays any outstanding items.

## Completion Requirements

The following must be satisfied before marking a campaign as complete:

* **General Information** -- The campaign has been saved.
* **Program Areas** -- At least one program area is selected on the **General Information** page.
* **Collaborators** -- The **Collaborators** section has been saved.
* **Potential Reach by Market Segment** -- The **Potential Reach by Market Segment** section has been saved.
* **Reach & Impressions by Channel** -- The **Reach & Impressions by Channel** section has been saved.
* **Evaluations** -- You have indicated whether you are conducting any evaluations of the campaign during the current reporting period (Yes or No).
* **Custom Data** -- Organization-specific custom data is complete (if applicable).
