STEPS TO MANAGING THE CUSTOMER JOURNEY
1. Step back and identify the journeys customers take – from the customer’s point of view
2. Understand how customers navigate across the touch points as they move through the journey
3. Anticipate the customer’s needs, expectations, and desires during each part of the journey
4. Build an understanding of what is working and what is not
5. Set priorities for the most important gaps and opportunities to improve the journey
6. Identify root-cause issues and redesign the journey for a better end-to-end experience

RIGHT PERSON
Identify your target audience
A buyer persona is a semi-fictional representation of your ideal customer based on market research and real data about your existing customers. When creating your buyer persona(s), consider including customer demographics, behavior patterns, motivations, and goals. The more detailed you are, the better.

GA COOKIES
A text file which is used to:
• Identify unique users• Identify unique sessions• Store information (like traffic source) about users’ GA sessions
and campaigns.
First Party GA Cookies: A GA cookie issued by the website being visited and only the website which issued the cookie can read it.
Third Party GA Cookies: A GA cookie issued by the website other than the website being visited.
− Example of third party GA cookies: DoubleClick cookies.
24
CLIENT ID
• A ‘client ID’ is assigned when a user visit a website for the first time
• Used to identify the user as new and unique, and to combine all of web hits (page views, events, transactions etc.) to form a GA session
• Used to identify when a user returns to a website
• When the same user visit another website say website ‘B’, the GA tag of the website ‘B’ sets a completely different ‘Client ID’ for the user and thus the same user is treated as a different user by website B
By default, cross domain tracking between two or more primary domains is not possible
25
DOMAINS AND SUBDOMAINS
• http://website.com
• http://subdomain.website.com
Cookie domain is the domain at which a Google Analytics cookie is set up
Destination domain is the domain to which you want to pass the client ID
For cross domain tracking in GA, always make sure that the cookie domain is the ancestor of the destination domain.

ATTRIBUTION MODELS
Last Click Model = 100% of credit goes to the last touch point
First Click Model = 100% of credit goes to the first touch point
Linear Model = Each touch point is weighted with a percentage of attribution
Position-Based Model = 40% credit is assigned to each the first and last interaction, and the remaining 20% credit is distributed evenly to the middle interactions
Time Decay Model = The last touch point receives the most weight, and each touch point receives less weight as time passes.
