In cross-platform reselling campaigns, accurately attributing conversions to touchpoints like Instagram ads, influencer unboxing videos, and email marketing remains a persistent challenge. CSSBUY's data team has developed an innovative solution combining CSSBUY link tracking
The Multi-Touch Attribution Breakthrough
Traditional last-click attribution severely undervalued mid-funnel content in CSSBUY's campaigns:
- Instagram story ads drove 42% of initial engagements
- Fashion influencer unboxing videos accounted for only 15% of final clicks
- EDM reminders showed negligible last-click performance
By implementing Markov-based probability modeling in their attribution spreadsheet:

Budget Reallocation Yields 21% Cost Reduction
The analysis revealed surprising insights:
Channel | Last-Click % | Markov Model % |
---|---|---|
Influencer Videos | 15% | 35% |
Instagram Ads | 60% | 41% |
25% | 24% |
After shifting budget allocation toward micro-influencer collaborations (particularly those producing detailed unboxing content), CSSBUY achieved:
- 35% increase in high-LTV customers from video sources
- CPL reduction from $9.1 to $7.2 (-21%)
- 27% improvement in 60-day retention rates
Actionable Methodology
Marketing teams can replicate this approach:
- Import CSSBUY link
- Build transition probability matrix between channels
- Calculate removal effect using Markov principles
- Validate with holdout tests before full budget shifts
"The spreadsheet model proved fashion enthusiasts need 3+ exposures across platforms before converting. Video bridges the gap between discovery and trust-building." - CSSBUY Media Buyer
