# Campaign Run Modes

Brand Expand offers three different **Run Modes** to help you control how your campaigns operate based on your goals, unit volume, and available budget.

### 1. Schedule

Schedule allows you to set a **fixed campaign duration** and define how many units you want to promote each day.

You can distribute your units depending on your strategy.

**Best for:** Velocity campaigns where maintaining a specific daily sales volume over a defined period is important.

### 2. Auto-Run Units

Auto-Run Units allows you to set a **total number of units** you want to promote, along with a maximum daily unit limit.

Unlike Schedule, this mode doesn't require a fixed campaign duration. Your campaign continues running until all allocated units have been claimed.

**Example:** If you allocate 100 units with a maximum of 10 units per day, your campaign will continue until all 100 units have been claimed, without exceeding your daily limit.

**Best for:** Seeding campaigns where your goal is to distribute a specific number of units without a fixed end date.

### 3. Auto-Run Budget

Auto Run Budget allows you to set a **total campaign budget** instead of a specific number of units or campaign duration.

Your campaign automatically continues promoting products until the allocated budget is exhausted, based on the costs associated with each order.

**Example:** If you set a $1,000 budget, your campaign will continue running until the available budget has been used.

**Best for:** Seeding campaigns where you want to control your total spending rather than the number of units distributed.

### Important Notes

- **Schedule** is generally recommended for Velocity campaigns.
- **Auto Run Units and Auto Run Budget** are generally recommended for Seeding campaigns.
- **Run Modes cannot be changed once a campaign has been published.** To switch to a different Run Mode, you'll need to pause or cancel your existing campaign and create a new one with your preferred settings.

Selecting the right Run Mode helps you manage your campaign more effectively while aligning your promotional activity with your business goals.
