Why is Reach and Frequency Important?

In today’s increasingly fragmented media landscape, it can be challenging for advertisers to effectively reach their target audience. Two crucial concepts that every advertiser needs to understand are reach and frequency. Reach refers to the number of people who are exposed to an advertisement during a specific period of time, while frequency is the number of times that advertisement is seen. For businesses looking to advertise in today’s media landscape, understanding these metrics is essential for achieving marketing goals.

Challenges

One of the main challenges facing advertisers today is the increasing plethora of media channels available to consumers. With the rise in streaming services and digital platforms, people are consuming media in more ways than ever before. According to eMarketer, Canadian individuals spend an average of 10 hours each day consuming media on various channels and devices.

With so much competition for attention, advertisers need to ensure that they are reaching the right audience at the right time through optimizing campaign frequency, without leading to overexposure. Frequency capping plays an important role in limiting the number of times a consumer is exposed to a particular ad in a given time period. Excessive frequency, as detailed by WARC, overexposes consumers to ads which can lead to irritated audiences and wasted budget.
