       sell to?
   – Demographic, geographic and psychographics
     characteristics


 • 2. Where is product or service distributed?
   – Local, regional, national or selected markets
   – Remember BDI and CDI’s
Media Planning
 • 3. What is Budget?
   –   Percentage of sales
   –   Share of market and Share of Voice
   –   Objective and Task
   –   Unit of Sales and Case Rate
   –   Competition
   –   Test Market
   –   Experimental
   –   Computer modeling
   –   Affordable and Available Funds

Media Planning
 • 6.         Reach
                vs.
             Frequency
                vs.
             Continuity
        (Continuous Schedule)
Media Planning
Media Planning

 Reach (Cume)
 • The number of different or unduplicated
   households or persons that are exposed to a
   television program or commercial at least
   once during the average week for a reported
   time period. During the course of the
   schedule illustrated, seven different
   households were exposed to the spot at least
   once. Since each home represents 10 % of
   the universe, this makes the reach or cume
   70%.
Media Planning

 Frequency
 • Average number of times a household
   or a person viewed a given television
   program, station or commercial during
   a specific time period.
Media Planning

 Continuity/Continuous Schedule
 • Advertising runs steadily and varies
   little. Compare with:
 • Flighting and Pulsing with scheduling
Media Planning
 • Rating (RTG or %):
 • The estimate of the size of a television
   audience relative to the total
   universe, expressed as a percentage.
   The estimated percent of all TV
   households or persons tuned to a
   specific station. In the example, three
   of the 10 homes in the universe are
   tuned to channel 2. That translates to a
   30 rating.
Media Planning
 •   RATING = households tuned in to a given program
                 all households with television

 •   SHARE =       households tuned in to a given program
                    all households tuned in to TV at that time (HUT)
     (more simply: share measures the percentage of all TV sets in use
     watching a particular program)

     Here's an example: Your show is aired in a market that has 1
     million television househo2lds; 400,000 are tuned in to you.
     Therefore:
     400,000
     1,000,000 =     .40, or a rating of 40
     At the time your show airs, however, there are only 800,000
     households using television. Therefore, your share of the available
     audience is

     Share =       400,000
                   800,000     = .50, or a rating of 50
     If you can explain why a specific program's share is always
     higher than its rating, then you understand the difference
     between the two.
Media Planning
 • 7. Media Mix
   – Combination of different media, and
     size of ads

   – Flighting
   – Pulsing
Media Planning
 • 9. Tie-ins with Merchandising
       and Sales Force?
   – Coupons, Contests, Trade Deals, Sales Calls,
     Displays, Budgets.
   – Which Media?
   – Events
      • Super Bowl
      • Academy Awards
      • Sports
   – Which Schedules?
   – And more
Media Planning

  Where?

  place in the home, but 21.1% took
  place at work, 8.3% in the car and
  13.7% in other locations.
