5. Reach vs. Frequency
Reach
• Exposing potential buyers to the
message.
• There is no known way of determining
how much reach is required to achieve
levels of awareness, attitude change, or
buying intention.
– We can’t be sure an ad in a vehicle will
actually reach the intended audience.
5. Reach vs. Frequency
Frequency
• The number of times one is exposed to a
media vehicle.
• Advertiser has no way of knowing if exposure
to a vehicle results in exposure to ad.
• Therefore, one exposure to the vehicle
constitutes reach.
• This does not help determine frequency
required to make an impact.
– Precise determination requires consideration of
creativity of ad, receiver involvement, noise,
etc.
5. Reach vs. Frequency
Establishing Reach and Frequency Levels
5. Reach vs. Frequency
• Gross Rating Points (GRPs)
– Based on the total audience the media
schedule may reach.
– Use a duplicated reach estimate.
GRP = Reach x Frequency

Marginal Analysis
• As advertising and promotional
expenditures increase, sales and gross
margins increase to a point.
• A firm should spend money as long as
the marginal revenues exceed the
incremental costs.
