# Overview & Setup

## What is Channel Mapping & Why is it Important?

Understanding how your Marketing Channels and Vendors perform is crucial to leveraging your Marketing spend. Channel and Vendor performance can be tracked through several channels, including: 

How do you acquire New Customers?

What is the Lifetime Value of customer who was acquired through each Marketing Channel and Vendor?

Which Marketing Channels and Vendors provide the best Return on Spend (ROAS)?

What Products are purchased most often via which Marketing Channel and Vendor?

Daasity allows you to determine Attribution based on the rules you set in the Channel Mapping BSD Sheet - Overriding what your Google Analytics has done.

### Filling out Your Brand Supplied Data Sheet

To assist with filling out your Chanel Mapping Sheet Daasity has built two reports in your Account Health Dashboard.
