Understanding Campaign Schedules
The schedule that you set determines how long your campaign will run. By setting a start and end date, you set the length of time that you want your ads displayed. The start date and end date cannot be set to a past date or more than a year into the future. Also, the end date must come after the start date. There is no restriction on the number of campaigns you can run during the same time period.

- In the Schedule field, click the start date and end date. The Set Campaign Budget and Schedule page opens.

- To run a one day campaign, select the same day for the start date and end date.
