ZMOT sources are various digital and non-digital channels where your customers go back and forth to make an informed purchase decision. That is why I developed the Proportional Multi-touch Attribution Model How ZMOT occursĪt ZMOT, customers go back and forth between various ZMOT sources.

Not all the acquisition channels/touches are equally important in shaping the customer’s buying behaviour. Consequently, these touches should get more credit for the conversion. Had the customer not been satisfied with the product reviews and pricing, he wouldn’t have made a purchase. These two touches seem more valuable than the exposure to other channels (the blog post, display ad, organic listing, and the PPC ad) as they play a very important role in shaping the customer’s purchase decision. The customer read a product review and went to a product comparison site before making the purchase. The ZMOT takes place at step 3 and step 4 Here the customer is exposed to six different acquisition channels (blog post, display ad, product reviews, product comparison, organic search, and paid search) before he makes a purchase.
