Last-click, Multi-channel, Data-driven? 5 things for Marketers to Consider about Attribution (martechadvisor.com)
Topics: customer engagement, email marketing, content marketing, mobile marketing, digital marketing, online marketing, Forrester Research, internet of things
Last-click, multi-channel, data-driven, U-shape, W-Shape – whatever
attribution model
you choose for your organization, one cannot deny the complexity of the
attribution problem
at one end of the spectrum, and the maddeningly simple desire to ‘just know what worked’ at the other.
It’s not just customers who meander all over the place with their
purchase path
(although now, with AI in the mix, it may not be too long before we can spot patterns in those seemingly ‘random’ meanderings.)
While there are
multiple models
to choose from- first-click, last-click, multi-touch, liner, time-decay, U-shaped, W-shaped and the catch-all ‘custom’,
Chris miglino
Chairman and CEO,
SRAX
, in his article that defines all those models, also cautions marketers that the proliferation of the Internet of things (IoT) has made it crucial for marketers to “glean insight not only from
multiple channels
but
multiple devices
” too.
There are increasingly new technologies to make the connection between online marketing and
offline sales
– from geofencing to card-linked tracking tools – and marketers will want to think about building a model from the start that helps them go all the way on the
purchase path

How Entrepreneurs Can Take Advantage of Voice Search Marketing (entrepreneur.com)
Topics: core product, digital marketing, mobile search, online search, Microsoft, digital content, digital transformation, Search engines
Why
voice search
is part of the future of
tech Case
in point,
independent research
conducted by the
Capgemini
Digital Transformation Institute confirms that 51 percent of consumers already utilize
voice assistant
s, with 81 percent of those users primarily accessing the voice assistant through a smartphone, citing convenience, multitasking
enablement
and speed as value-adds from the voice assistant experience.
Using data from
Cortana
, we know that the lion’s share of questions presented to
voice assistants
begin with either “how” or “what,” and then there’s a
steep drop
off in
search share
for the remaining interrogative words.
According to
proprietary research
by the
call intelligence company
Invoca
,
voice search
is the
preferred mode
of communication for 20 percent of consumers making a purchase of $500 or more, only 2 percentage points removed from the 22 percent who prefer traditional
online search
.
For example, a
ticket seller
who wants to capture its voice-assistant-using audience should ensure
portfolio coverage
on [how do I buy tickets], [what website sells tickets], and [where can I go to buy tickets].
