Campaign Attribution
Was it a star or a dog?
We all spend a lot of time setting up campaigns, but knowing if they were a success is harder. The good news is that LifecycleMAGIQ's campaign attribution model can provide the answer.
A best practice model
There are many models for undertaking campaign attribution. LifecycleMAGIQ uses quite a simple one – but one that is focussed on the bottom line.
When a user converts, either from Intender to Purchaser, or from Browser to Intender, LifecycleMAGIQ looks back over the previous three days to see what that user has done or experienced.
It looks at the external campaigns they responded to, it looks at the LifecycleMAGIQ Actions that have targeted them, and it looks at their Behaviours. It then attributes this visitor's conversion, and any purchases in the period, to those influences, campaigns and behaviours.
Of course, this approach might not be 100% accurate, but short of interviewing every respondent nothing will be.
What you do get is a great understanding of what is working and what is not, over thousands of individual conversions on your site, that you can immediately understand and action!
