“What if we practiced a sport one time and we could become an Olympic champion. It would be fantastic, but we know it doesn’t work that way. Advertising is the same. No matter

how much we want it to be, advertising is not a one-shot proposition – frequency is a key success factor.”

-Dorrington, Michael “The Importance of Frequency in Today’s Multi-Channel Marketplace”
