Campaign Attribution Approaches:
1. Last-Click Attribution
   - Credit goes to final touchpoint before purchase
   - Simple but undervalues awareness campaigns

2. First-Click Attribution
   - Credit goes to initial touchpoint
   - Values discovery but ignores nurturing

3. Multi-Touch Attribution (Recommended)
   - Distributes credit across all touchpoints
   - Xiaohongshu often plays mid-funnel role
   - More accurate for multi-channel campaigns

4. Time Decay Attribution
   - Touchpoints closer to purchase get more credit
   - Reflects recency effect on decision-making

Recommended: Use multi-touch attribution for complete picture
