When high frequency is required
A new brand
A smaller, less known brand
A low level of brand loyalty
Relatively short purchase and use cycle
With less involved (motivated and capable) target audiences
With a great deal of clutter to break through (Joseph Ostrow at Y & R, JAR, 1984)

Specifying Media Objectives (cont’d)
3. How much total advertising is necessary to achieve the reach and frequency objective?
“Weight” (GRPs/TRPs, Gross Impressions)- FCB research: no awareness with <1000 GRPs
4. How to schedule the advertising campaign?
“Scheduling” or “Continuity” - Continuous scheduling - Pulsing - Fighting

How to Use Reach and Coverage
Use Reach
To express a whole number or percentage of
different people actually exposed only once to a media vehicle to combination of vehicles. Example: Television program X reaches 9 million
men aged 18-34 within a four-week period. Example: Magazine Y has a reach of 25 percent of
men aged 18-34 with an average issue.
17
How to Use Reach and Coverage
Use Coverage
To express the potential audience of a broadcast medium or the actual audience of a print medium exposed only once. Example: A network television program may have
a coverage of 95 percent of TV homes in the U.S. Example: Magazine Y has 25 percent coverage of
men aged 18-34. (Means same as reach.)

Some Basic Terms Used in Media Planning
•Gross impressions: the sum of the audience of all media vehicles used within a designated time period
–Jeopardy: 3,270,000 x 4 messages =13,080,000
–People: 8,620,000 x 2 messages = 17,240,000
–Time: 1,700,000 x 2 messages = 3,400,000
–---> 33,720,000 gross impressions

Notes: Ratings points/reach comparisons are based on adults 18-49. Reach is based on actual delivery of each schedule from the week of November 15, 1993. Nielsen’s cumulative audience data were used for this analysis. Costs were based on October Media Watch figures. A single Super Bowl commercial (30 seconds) cost $900,000 in 1994.

CDI and BDI
The Brand Development Index (BDI) helps marketers factor the rate of product usage by geographic area into the decision process.
The Category Development Index (CDI) is computed in the same manner as the BDI, except it uses information regarding the product category (as opposed to the brand) in the numerator.

High BDI and high CDI This market usually represents good sales potential for both the product category and the brand.
High BDI and low CDI The category is not selling well, but the brand is; probably a good market to advertise in but should be
monitored for declining sales.
Low BDI and high CDI The product category shows high potential but the brand is not doing well; the reasons should be determined.
Low BDI and low CDI Both the product category and the brand are doing poorly; not likely to be a good place for advertising.
