In the digital era advertising departments get the peak of their levels. Marketers find different types of advertising mediums to attract customers. Connected TV (CTV) is one of the mediums for advertising. CTV advertising is best for both types of ads like normal TV ads and Connected TV ads like help for digital marketing. The CTV helps to attract a new audience and also helps to target the specific audience for the advertising.
What is CTV Attribution?
The CTV refers to the use of the network for connecting external devices at the same time we can use the Internet for connecting OTT platforms, and set-top boxes to view various channels. The most common method used in CTV for view-through attribution. This method for the viewer to see the ad within a particular time. The CTV attribution helps to measure the success of one specified ad. If your ad is not successful the CTV attribution will help to learn the missing content and help to create the new content better than previous content.
Negative of traditional TV attribution
TV advertising creates a big impact on the viewers. But the traditional method is not good for advertising. Most of the time traditional attribution fully focuses on the key performance indicators like clicking the ads and impressions, but on the other way measuring the success of the customer. If any customer sees your ad, he knows about your product details, even if he could not purchase your product.
Positives of the CTV attribution
Connected TV attribution has many benefits compared with traditional TV attribution. It tracks an easy way to success rates, the CTV workers continually work for evolving platforms, and at the same time, the traditional TV attribution allows more ads to create the irritating the viewers. CTV allows ads based on their customer preferences, what customers want, and what they like. The CTV model continues to evolve but the traditional attribution sticks with its old ways. The new evolving method helps to usage of data to make the ads more attractive.
Types of CTV Attribution Models
Those types of attribution models help to scale the success rates of ads. It can be used to understand the customer how to select their brand, how to get interest order the brand, and how they order the products. These details will help to analyze customer opinion.
First Touch Attribution
This attribution gives the points based on the first click of the customer or the conversation of the customer. From a psychological point of view in advertising customers choose the first product with more chances to buy that product. For instance, if one customer watches the social media ad first and then watches the connected TV ad, the customer prefers to order the social media ad. At the same time, first-touch attribution always works on a good level. This attribution needs to be more accurate because the customer did many clicks and saw many ads after the first time ads.
Last Touch Attribution
Last touch attribution gives the points based on the customer touching your brand before ordering your product. The customer sees the many products but buys a single product from your brand. The attractiveness of the brand is fundamental to buying the products. For instance, if one customer visits your store after watching your ad on social media or Connected TV he didn’t buy any products but last minute he buys a particular product for the displayed offer. This is one type of last-touch attribution, but the credit goes to the sales team. Same I tell First Touch attribution and Last Touch attribution are not accurate. The advertisement is important to attract sales.
View Through Attribution
The view-through model gives credit points based on the CTV ads and those ads under the web traffic and sales at a particular time. But this method is always not accurate because the ads displayed traditionally telecast the TV without any time limit. This way could not help to track the customer preferences. In this way, you should specifically ask the customer for feedback on the product. On this method very difficult to find how many customers visit your website because of this ad. If you run an ad on CTV but the customer knows your brand from the podcast you do, where do you give the credit for promoting your ad?
Click Through Distribution
This is the original clicking the ad measuring the customer clicking from the digital marketing. This is the famous method of digital marketing strategy. The websites have calculated the points based on the customer clicking the ads. There are cons are there in click-through distribution, because customers cannot click the ad when ad displayed on Connect TV. hence could not measure the customer’s preferences on the Click-through distribution. But customers always like to watch the shows on the CTV.
Multi-Touch Attribution
Multi-touch attribution is more accurate compared with other models. This model is accurate for scaling the ad success rate. The multi-touch model has a different type of calculating customer preferences. One customer approaches the product details multiple times before purchasing, and the multitouch calculates the ad success rate. The multitouch works in different ways but it gives the credit point based on the big sale by the customer. This model is more accurate at the same time this model takes more time to use complex calculations to give the points.

You need to search what other ads are attributed to the customer’s opinion.
