Abstract The scientific success and achievements of a solar observing campaign depend on many factors. Seven points that should be addressed by the organizers as the campaign begins to take shape are outlined and described: 1. Scientific Focus, 2. Organization, 3. Communication, 4. Solar Conditions, 5. Instruments, 6. Analysis, 7. Results. Using these points as a guide, two recent solar observing campaigns are compared and discussed in detail. The Coronal Magnetic Structures Observing Campaign (CoMStOC) was organized to measure the magnetic field strength and determine its structure in the solar corona. International Solar Month was a worldwide campaign to observe the Sun with emphasis on simultaneous, stereoscopic observations of the solar corona by soft X-ray imagers on NASA's Solar Maximum Mission satellite and the Soviet Phobos-1 spacecraft. Lessons learned from these and other campaigns involving the Solar Maximum Mission satellite are discussed briefly and advice for future campaigns is offered.
