The Importance of Attribution in the New Age of E-Commerce

Gone are the days when attributing a sale solely to a single advertising channel was sufficient.

Today a customer might stumble upon a product through a social media ad then read reviews on a comparison website and finally make the purchase on the retailer’s website.

Understanding the role each of these touchpoints played in influencing the purchase decision is paramount for success.

Beyond the Walls of Amazon: Understanding the Customer Journey

Amazon the undisputed king of e-commerce has long understood the value of attribution.

With its own powerful advertising platform Amazon has enabled sellers to track the performance of their campaigns and identify the most effective strategies for reaching their target audience.

But in the modern e-commerce landscape the customer journey extends far beyond the confines of Amazon.com.

Shoppers are exposed to a multitude of influences from social media and influencer marketing to search engine results and online reviews.

Imagine a consumer looking for a new pair of running shoes.

They might first see an eye-catching ad on Facebook then read reviews on Google Shopping compare prices on a price comparison site and finally purchase the shoes on Amazon.
