Reattribution-Window
Description
A reattribution window is a set period in which a lapsed user can be credited back to a marketing source if they re-engage. Common in retargeting and reactivation campaigns.
Definition
It defines how long after last attribution a user can be retied to a paid campaign if they reinstall or re-engage. Often ranges from 7 to 30 days depending on MMP setup.
Why Is Reattribution-Window Important for App Marketers?
Reattribution windows allow marketers to fairly credit campaigns that successfully re-engage churned users. They prevent attribution overlap and improve insight into the true value of retargeting and owned media efforts.
