Multi-Attribution Approach -
A Marketer’s Guide to Success

Nowadays, businesses are implementing advanced methods to optimize their analytical models to track their conversion process. They follow every primary way to track the progress of different inbound marketing procedures through which they can get more benefits.

In this post, you will get to know the power of multi-channel attribution and its importance in marketing analysis.

First, let’s start with a small introduction:

What is Multi-channel Attribution?

In general, multi-channel attribution is a set of procedures that decides when to assign credits for revenue generated or sales pitch for any lead. The credits are assigned based on touchpoints.

In simple words, touchpoints are the instances or the point of engagement that elaborates when, how, and where sales come, or revenue is generated.

If we explain touchpoints from a B2B marketer’s point of view, then it is an analytical table in which rows are touchpoints. Each column describes a different entity (person, business, opportunity, content, sales, etc.).

However, the multi-channel attribution is only relatable to ‘revenue’ in those touchpoints. Here, attribution denotes the procedures used to put a value for every touchpoint and channel or resource. For the B2B marketers’ table, revenue is the value assigned for every touchpoint.

Why focus on multi-channel attribution?

Businesses should know that different marketing channels and procedures have different impacts on revenues and conversions.

The critical role of attribution is to understand these impacts and analyze their influence on your marketing/revenue progress.

Without implementing attribution, businesses can not determine how much progress they are getting through marketing. It complexes the data tables and confuses the analytical reports of future outcomes.

Another major factor that makes the understanding of attributions necessary is they help in knowing what’s valuable for you. Determining the assets that can help the business grow will create new opportunities for marketing optimization. Whether you prefer strategies to improvise or budgeting, these attributions can deliver the best outcomes possible.

There are two types of touchpoints attribution. Let’s talk about them:

Single-Touchpoint Attribution

Single-touch attribution helps in assigning the full credit to only one touchpoint. For instance, if a user watches 20 ads without any on-click conversion, then single touchpoint attribution will recognize only 1 out of 20 ads for assigning conversion credit.
Businesses will find this attribution easy to implement as the complexity is very low. Single touchpoint attribution is the most popular as they are combined by the tech giant Google through Google Ads.

There are two ways to approach single-touch attribution:

First touch — Assign 100% credit to the campaign responsible for interaction initiation.

Last touch — Assign 100% credit to the last interaction with your marketing/business process responsible for converting lead into paying customers.

MultiTouchpoint Attribution

Multi-touchpoint attribution is quite different from that of single touchpoint attribution. It assumes that every touchpoint has an equal role in generating the conversion. Taking the above example, users watched 20 ads, and every time they put up some contribution that is assigned some value to it.

This model enhances the tracking of revenue in a better way as each resource has equal opportunity. Most large businesses prefer this model as they have different touchpoints to measure for revenue opportunities.

Why choose Multi-Touchpoint Attribution over Single Touchpoint

96% of marketers believe that attribution is vital for making informed marketing decisions and optimizing funnels. Smart marketers use multi-touch attribution to track and analyze all potential touchpoints that allow them to boost their conversion.
Single touchpoint attribution is focused only on one touchpoint, whereas multi-touchpoint attribution assigns value to each touchpoint. If this is the case, businesses implement multi-touchpoint attribution for a higher value revenue through different resources.
For instance, a car company is implementing different marketing procedures to generate more revenue. And they want to know where and when the revenue is collected and how we can measure it.
Then a multi-touchpoint attribution method will be allocated to the marketing procedures.
This attribution will keep track of the marketing channels’ entire journey, from weeks to months to quarters. It will track each marketing channel’s progress and determine the opportunities for the scope of optimization in the methods.
