on the Beach Business Objectives :-
Since On the Beach was not as much a popular brand so that consumer directly come to their website; therefore, they need to ensure that their search campaign should be optimized to reflect return on investment. Primarily, they divided their objectives in 2 parts :-

A generic research is the non brand search which means introducing the brand to the public by using maximum number of relevant keywords into search.
on the Beach Approach / Strategy :-
The value of generic search is difficult to measure with ‘last click wins’ attribution model because it does not give any credit to steps like search, displaying attractive content and rich media ads in sale conversion process. Therefore, On the Beach management decided to partner with Google to develop multi- channel model using the tools – AdWord Search Funnels and Google Analytics Multi Channel funnels.
The methodology by the company is to split the credit for each sale across numerous click points rather than giving credit to first or last click. It clearly comes out with the insight that On the Beach needs to increase budget on generic campaigns to have fruitful results. The approach clearly worked out as successful attribution model for the company.
