# Event Calendar

The AnyX Event Calendar allows you to add events to your specific e-commerce channels connected to your store. This would include any promotional and marketing events (like mega sales days, store campaigns etc.) for specific store channels where you would like to input a target on Total Revenue for the duration of this initiative.&#x20;

Through adding these target revenue amounts for promotional and marketing events, AnyX helps to automate the comparison of the actual performance against the campaign targets. This helps teams to analyse pacing of on-going activations, providing the capability to optimise and make adjustments, or to be used as learnings for future planning.
