Abstract

GRPs, Coverage and OTS are three key concepts present in any media planning. They represent the unit of measure in the advertising market, the benchmark that allows determining the extent to which the objectives set out in a media planning have been met. It would be highly recommended to join these indicators with a distribution of contact frequencies that allows us to know in greater depth the reality of the results obtained. Through the dissection of the results obtained by a frequency distribution, this article reviews the importance and usefulness of this simple statistical grouping of data.
