Precise Campaign Measurement Solutions Now Available to Marketers Struggling With Channel Measurement and Attribution

NEW YORK, Sept 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- As today's marketers continue to struggle with accurate channel measurement and attribution while looking for the greatest return, Experian Marketing Services is introducing Response Attribution, an all-new solution that provides more accurate and timely reporting on key marketing activities across multiple marketing platforms.

"The greatest challenge we see among clients is the ability to accurately determine which channels are motivating and driving customers," said Jeff Hassemer, vice president of Product Strategy for Experian Marketing Services. "Those responsible for tracking program success and allocating marketing dollars accordingly will now have the ability to see, with great precision, which channels are performing the highest."  

The four distinct methodologies for customized measurement and reporting include:

• Direct Single Channel Attribution — allows organizations to accurately identify relationships between your promotional or delivery channel and response
• Inferred Attribution — quantifies which campaigns are driving the highest returns on response and sales within marketing channels
• Fractional Attribution — designed to bring the marketing ecosystem into view to help marketers realize the positive impact accurate measurement can have on future marketing decisions
• Touch-Point Attribution — analyzes marketing programs and determines appropriate contribution while focusing on incremental impact of each touch-point

"Without proper tracking mechanisms, companies typically lose or cannot account for all of the effects of marketing campaign dollars," said Hassemer. "Marketers need to understand how their channels are influencing different customers in order to determine their effectiveness as well as understanding how potential and current customers will interact with your company."
