Setting the Scene

What do we mean by ‘reach’?

@arengrimshaw

We’re talking about the number of people who get to see your content…

Whether that be a blog, status update, advert, or any other form of content.

@arengrimshaw

• Reach = the number of individuals exposed

• Impressions = the number of displays

• Frequency = average displays to each individual

@arengrimshaw

So, if 20 people see your blog article twice…

• Reach = 20• Impressions = 40• Frequency = 2

@arengrimshaw

Why is it important?Without reach and impressions:• Your content will go unseen• Your content will go unloved• You will not see any traffic to your website• You will not make any sales

@arengrimshaw

I get it…• …Reach is good• …Impressions are good• …Frequency is good

• Not quite!

@arengrimshaw

Reach, Impressions and Frequency are only good if you are reaching the RIGHT people.

@arengrimshaw

How do you reach the right people?

Researching your Market

@arengrimshaw

Start with the ‘Small Data’• Start with your own business data– What do you know about your customers?– Who are your best customers?– Who are your best advocates?– Who are you reaching now?– Who do you want to reach?
