The Players • Advertisers • Agencies • Media • Regulators • Sales Reps • Support – research, buyers, etc.
Reach • The number of unduplicated exposures. • i.e. the number of different people that see or hear an advertisement
Frequency • The average number of duplicate exposures. • i.e. the number of times someone is exposed to an advertisement
Reach vs. Frequency • The best media vehicle for reach is network television. • TV penetration rates are near 100%. • With a single buy, an advertiser can reach millions of households, and tens of millions of viewers. • Too expensive for high frequency.
Reach vs. Frequency • Billboards and Newspapers are best for frequency. • If someone reads a newspaper, they likely read it every day. • If someone passes a billboard, they likely pass the same billboard every day.
Reach vs. Frequency • Generally, reach and frequency are mutually exclusive. A medium that delivers one, will not deliver the other. • Radio is possibly the best combination of reach and frequency. • Radio has high penetration, and is cheap enough to allow frequency.
Demographics • The more specific the demographics of the audience – the higher the cost to reach the audience. • Minimizing waste circulation. • Attracting a qualified audience of true prospective buyers for the product.
Cost per Thousand (CPM) • The cost of reaching one thousand households, viewers, listeners, readers, drivers, etc. • Allows advertisers to cross-compare among several media.
