Net Reach (1+ Reach)<br />
used in Reach & Frequency<br />
Terms and Definitions con’t<br />
Refers to the number (000’s) or proportion (%) of different people reached at least once by a<br />
specified number of advertisements. Net reach can be expressed in terms of numbers of<br />
people and/or as a percentage of the population group being targeted. Ie. Net Reach is<br />
similar to Cumulative Audience but is usually quoted in association with the effectiveness of<br />
an advertising campaign, whereas Cumulative Audience is used when analysing timeperiods<br />
or sessions.<br />
Maximum Reach<br />
used in Reach & Frequency<br />
Refers to the total number of people it is possible to reach on the station/s and session/s<br />
selected within a schedule. I.e the total station cume or multiple station cume for the session<br />
chosen.<br />
e.g. If Station B has a total cume 669,0000 it is not possible to reach any more listeners as the station<br />
only has 669,000 listeners. To achieve the maximum reach an advertiser would have to put an<br />
advertisement on every ¼ hour.<br />
Gross Impacts<br />
used in Reach & Frequency<br />
The sum of the quarter-hour audience for all spots in a given advertising schedule. This<br />
figure will most likely include duplication of listeners. It is the total number of times a listening<br />
audience has the opportunity to “hear” an advertisement.<br />
Average Frequency<br />
used in Reach & Frequency<br />
The average number of times that radio listeners “reached” by an advertising campaign are<br />
exposed to an advertisement. Or how many times they have “heard” the advertisement.<br />
e.g. The average frequency for Stations A, B & C is 4.2 times.<br />
Effective Frequency<br />
used in Reach & Frequency<br />
Shows how the reach for a number of advertisements is made up in terms of the numbers<br />
(000’s) and proportion (%) of people who were reached or heard 1 or more, 2 or more, 3 or<br />
more times etc, by a series of advertisements. (e.g 1+,2+, 3+ etc)<br />
Exclusive Frequency<br />
used in Reach & Frequency<br />
Shows how the reach for a number of advertisements is made up in terms of the numbers<br />
(000’s) and proportion (%) of people who were reached or heard exactly once, exactly twice,<br />
exactly 3 times etc, by a series of advertisements. (e.g 1, 2, 3 etc)<br />
Cost Per Thousand (CPM)<br />
used in Reach & Frequency<br />
The cost of each 1000 impacts delivered by an advertising schedule (I.e. the cost of the<br />
schedule divided by the gross impacts gives you a cost per thousand).<br />
