What to Buy Target’s Media Competition Research Pixie Dust
How to Buy: TV & Radio Measured & sold by GRPs (gross rating points) 1 rating point = 1% of the audience seeing the ad 1X Points are a measure of reach and frequency. 100 GRPs = either 100% of your audience seeing the ad 1X OR 1% of your audience seeing it 100 times. (or most likely some variation of the above) Frequency 3X or more. R/F build over time. Pricing changes by day, daypart, program Diversify stations, programs and dayparts to catch more people at more times
How to Buy: Newspaper & Magazine Measured by CPM – cost per thousand impressions Prices are a calculated as ad size X CPM. There are frequency discounts Buy enough to get noticed. “Page dominant” Frequency 3X or more. The more you buy, the nicer they are to you in editorial (magazines and trade pubs)
How to Buy: Outdoor Measured by the showing – like a GRPs 100 showing is 100% of the audience sees it 1 time Most people travel the same routes every day. Generally need mutiple boards/buses/trains to reach an adequate showing Bought by the month. Sometimes messages stay up longer if there is no replacement
