Event Based Attribution

We understand that attribution is the process of identifying a set of user actions (“events”) that contribute in some manner to a desired outcome, and then assigning a value to each of these events. Marketing attribution provides a level of understanding of what combination of events influence individuals to engage in a desired behavior, typically referred to as conversion. Attributing value to events such as clicks, allows marketers to understand the real attribution of a particular channel and their influence on conversions.

If you notice in the above report, the second touch-point which contributed considerably to the purchase behavior was completely neglected or under scored by the other models. Scoring each event and assist pages helps us in identifying the influencing source, which gets hidden when we apply single source or fractional attribution models.

* For demonstrating purpose, notice that we have added scores for page type and page depth, just to illustrate the difference in weights.

Current Challenges

Data Identification

Since channels include Ad sources, organic search, mail and social sites, data identification is not consistent across all sources.

Non User Centric

Currently models are applied based on total conversion irrespective of user’s repeat purchase. Since data is not user-centric, it is hard to differentiate first purchase from repeat purchases.

Model limitations

Most models practiced today are either Single Source or Fractional, and both have their own limitation. Algorithmic Attribution Model assigns conversion credit across all touch points preceding the conversion.

Marketing Attribution with Plumb5

Plumb5, with its customer-centric integrated platform, solves all the current challenges of arriving at an accurate attribution model

Addressing Data identification

Plumb5 scripts monitor all incoming traffic irrespective of the channels (even email) and records and assigns value to each interaction, for every individual user. Since data is stacked by user, data is filtered for users who have successful transactions. This helps us identify all sources that these users have visited, and that have contributed to the purchase goals.

Identifying First Purchase.

Plumb5 integrates with your store in order to tag transaction behavior of each individual user. This helps in identifying the purchase touch-points of the user. Understanding the first purchase touch-point is crucial, because all sources contributing to subsequent purchases are attributed differently, to understand influencing sources to conduct effective retention campaigns

Algorithmic Attribution.

With Plumb5, you can set scores for behavior parameters like page depth, page type, event type, time spend, frequency. This allows in assigning values for sessions that involved high interactions which could be influencing the purchase decisions. This helps us to identify effective touch-points irrespective of their occurrence.
