How to use this template

  1. Use a real path

    Replace the touchpoints with a journey from your CRM or analytics. A real example makes the differences between models easier for clients and colleagues to grasp than definitions do.

  2. Compare the totals

    Look at how each model would change the credit for each channel. If one channel looks strong only under one model, treat its results with caution before moving budget.

  3. Agree one view to report

    Choose the model your reports will use and write the reason beside the chart. Switching models between reports makes channel performance look as if it has changed when it has not.
