The Attribution Model Breakdown
As you convert viewers into consumers, it is important to assign credit for each sale/conversion to understand what works best for your business. This is where the Attribution Model comes into play, utilizing 3 different types:
*For these examples, I assume your business uses both social media ads and email marketing*
1. First-Click Attribution: this gives 100% of the credit to the very first touch that introduced the customer to your brand. A good example of this would be a customer that sees your social media ad and immediately buys something based on your ad. All the credit goes to the social ad.
2. Last-Click Attribution: this gives 100% of the credit to the last touchpoint before conversion. For example, if you put out a social media ad first followed by an email ad, you would credit the email ad (given the customer sees both but buys after opening the email).
3. Multi-Touch Attribution: exactly as it may seem, this model gives credit to multiple touchpoints within your customer's journey as opposed to one single point. In this example, both the social ads and the email ads receive credit.
