In multi-channel marketing, customers often interact with several touchpoints before converting. **Linear attribution** addresses the challenge of fairly distributing credit by assigning equal value to each channel involved in a customer's journey. This approach ensures that no single channel is over- or under-valued, making it easier for you to understand the collective impact of your marketing efforts. By using linear attribution, you can more accurately assess the performance of each channel, optimize your budget allocation, and foster collaboration between different marketing teams.
