Agenda

1. Multi Channel Attribution Model

2. Touchpoints in the Consumer behavior

3. Introduction to various models of attribution






Multi-channel attribution is a set of rules that assigns credit for sales and revenue to touchpoints across the customer journey. What's a touchpoint? It's simply information on a point of engagement that describes who, what, when and where.

Multi-touch attribution is a marketing effectiveness measurement technique that takes all of the touchpoints on the consumer journey into consideration and assigns fractional credit to each so that a marketer can see how much influence each channel has on a sale.

An attribution model is the rule, or set of rules, that determines how credit for sales and conversions is assigned to touchpoints in conversion paths. For example, the Last Interaction model in Analytics assigns 100% credit to the final touchpoints (i.e., clicks) that immediately precede sales or conversions


WHAT IS MULTI-TOUCH ATTRIBUTION?

Multi-touch attribution is a marketing effectiveness measurement technique that takes all of the touchpoints on the consumer journey into consideration and assigns fractional credit to each so that a marketer can see how much influence each channel has on a sale.


Multi-touch attribution offers a more sophisticated alternative to traditional, rules-based attribution approaches, such as first- and last-touch, which give all of the credit to the first or last marketing touchpoint before the consumer converts through a purchase, download or any other event.


By leveraging individual, user-level data across addressable channels, such as direct mail, online display and paid search, multi-touch attribution calculates and assigns credit for a key performance indicator (KPI) event to the marketing touchpoints that influenced a desired business outcome.


What is multi channel funnel?

Multi-Channel Funnels reports are generated from conversion paths: the sequences of interactions (e.g. clicks/referrals from channels) that led up to each conversion and transaction. ... The Multi-Channel Funnels data combines the Google Analytics conversion data with the sequence of interactions captured in the cookie

RULES-BASED SINGLE-TOUCH ATTRIBUTION:

Last Touch: In a last-touch model, the last touchpoint in the consumer journey receives 100% of the credit for the KPI event. Due to its history as the default marketing measurement methodology, marketers often use this model as a baseline for comparing other multi-touch attribution models.



First Touch Attribution

The First Touch model gives 100% of the credit to the marketing effort that drove a visitor to your website for the first time. Because it gives all the credit on the basis of a single touchpoint, it will naturally overemphasize a single part of the funnel

Problem with Single-Touch Attribution

Single-touch attribution models assign 100% of conversion credit to only one marketing touchpoint. Single-touch attribution models include first-touch, first-click, last-touch, and last-click. Here is an example of single-touch attribution:


A customer completes an inbound form, attends a webinar, and replies to an email campaign where they accept a sales meeting. If you’re using the last touch attribution model, the email campaign will get 100% of the credit. While these models were undoubtedly popular in the past, they no longer make sense for the modern consumer. Today’s shopper is exposed to many different touchpoints across every device and platform — social media ads, email marketing, Google ads, and even billboards (not every touchpoint is digital). Single-touch attribution ignores these middle points and focuses on just the first or last interaction.


lead creation touch attribution model

Lead attribution decides where credit should be given in a conversion path. Think of it this way: Martha does an online search. It hits on SEO in some of your content – an article on your website. She clicks through, reads the article, and browses around.

Last Touch Attribution Model

The last-touch model is a rules-based single-touch attribution model. It gives 100% of the credit for a conversion to the last click or visit that happened in a conversion path. If there was no click or visit, then it will credit the last impression.


Last click attribution can measure which advertisement a customer last clicked on or engaged with before making a purchase. This early form of attribution was extremely useful to marketers - the idea being that this particular ad was what drove the conversion.


The last-touch model is a rules-based single-touch attribution model. It gives 100% of the credit for a conversion to the last click or visit that happened in a conversion path. If there was no click or visit, then it will credit the last impression.



Why last click attribution is bad?

Under a last click attribution model, there is a bias towards direct visits, which can make marketers feel uncertain about how their branding and awareness efforts are impacting the campaign as a whole. ... In this case, final touch attribution would give marketers skewed insights that can lead to misguided optimization


In the Time Decay attribution model, the touchpoints closest in time to the sale or conversion get most of the credit. ... In the Position Based attribution model, 40% credit is assigned to each the first and last interaction, and the remaining 20% credit is distributed evenly to the middle interactions.


First Touch: In a first-touch model, the first touchpoint in the consumer journey receives 100% of the credit for the KPI event. Marketers often use this model to measure marketing efforts that are intended to drive awareness by reaching new consumers for the first time.
