Marketing Attribution
It's a "science" or a way of identifying which channels and strategies (Facebook ads or phone calls, for example) most attract students to your educational institution.
So you can understand better, let's go to a practical example?! Imagine the following situation: a student researched the courses in his educational institution on Google, found your website, accessed it, read about the graduation, but did not go ahead, that is, he did not enroll.
After a while, he saw an ad on social media, more specifically a post about the Vestibular on Instagram and so he went back to his University's website and decided to guarantee his spot right away.
That's it, that student's application was assigned to the ad on Instagram. But, until he made that decision, he went through other platforms. Right? And this is where the Marketing Attribution.
It is through Marketing Attribution that your sales team can analyze your potential student's interactions with your brand and the channels that contributed to the conversion of your lead.
In other words, the Marketing Attribution allows your company to check the path that your student took until actually enrolling in your University.
