### 🧩 When to Use Each Type

#### ✅ Use **Fixed Tag** When:

* You want every customer who submits the form to get the same label
* You need tracking such as:
  * `newsletter`
  * `lead`
  * `giveaway-entry`
  * `contact-form`
* You want to easily group customers based on the form they submitted

***

#### 🎯 Use **Dynamic Tag** When:

* You want the tag to reflect what the customer selected
* Examples:
  * Customer Type: Retail / Wholesale
  * Service Type: Haircut / Coloring / Styling
  * Interest: Shoes / Bags / Accessories
* Perfect for segmentation and targeted marketing
