Some Basic Concepts
Media Planning the series of decisions involved in delivering the
promotional message to the prospective purchasers and/or users of the product or brand.
requires development of specific media objectives and specific media strategies (plans of action) designed to attain these objectives.
Medium the general category of available delivery systems,
which includes broadcast media (like TV and radio), print media (like newspapers and magazines), direct mail, outdoor advertising, and other support media.

Some Basic Concepts
Media Vehicle The specific carrier within a medium
category.
Reach a measure of the number of different
audience members exposed at least once to a media vehicle in a given period of time.
Coverage refers to the potential audience that might
receive the message through a vehicle.
Frequency the number of times the receiver is exposed
to the media vehicle in a specified period.

Market Analysis and Target Market Identification To whom shall we advertise?
Market research data Index number:
An index number over 100 means use of the product is proportionately greater in that segment than in one that is average (100) or less than 100.

Market Analysis and Target Market Identification What internal and external factors are
operating? Internal factors may involve the size of the media
budget, managerial and administrative capabilities, or the organization of the agency.
External factors may include the economy (the rising costs of media), changes in technology (the availability of new media), competitive factors, and the like.

Strategies Geographic Coverage Scheduling
Continuity: refers to a continuous pattern of advertising, which may mean every day, every week, or every month. The key is that a regular (continuous) pattern is developed without gaps or nonadvertising periods. Such strategies might be used for advertising for food products, laundry detergents, or other products consumed on an ongoing basis without regard for seasonality.

Developing and Implementing Media Strategies Scheduling
Flighting: employs a less regular schedule, with intermittent periods of advertising and non-advertising.
Pulsing: actually a combination of the first two methods. Continuity is maintained, but at certain times promotional efforts are stepped up.

Developing and Implementing Media Strategies Reach vs. Frequency
Using Gross Rating Points (GRPs): A summary measure that combines the program rating and the average number of times the home is reached during this period (frequency of exposure) GRP = Reach x Frequency
Target Rating Points (TRPs): refer to the number of people in the primary target audience the media buy will reach—and the number of times. Unlike GRP, TRP does not include waste coverage

Developing and Implementing Media Strategies Reach vs. Frequency
Determining Effective Reach: represents the percentage of a vehicle’s audience reached at each effective frequency increment. This concept is based on the assumption that one exposure to an ad may not be enough to convey the desired message. Average frequency: the average number of
times the target audience reached by a media schedule is exposed to the vehicle over a specified period.

Budget considerations Absolute costs of the medium or vehicle is the
actual total cost required to place the message. Relative costs refers to the relationship between the
price paid for advertising time or space and the size of the audience delivered; it is used to compare media vehicles.
