Choose an Attribution Window for a Re-Engagement Campaign
A product team runs a re-engagement email campaign targeting dormant users. They need to decide the attribution window: how long after an email is sent a subsequent app open is credited to that email versus treated as unrelated organic return.
- Explain the trade-off between a short window (e.g. 2 hours) and a long window (e.g. 14 days) for this specific use case.
- Describe an experiment you could run to empirically estimate the right window, rather than picking one arbitrarily.
- Once the attribution window is chosen, explain how it should concretely change how the training data for a "should we send this re-engagement email" model gets constructed, referencing the maturity/censoring discipline from this subject.
