What it is

How many times per person

Average number of times one person sees the ad. Above four is usually wasted budget and irritation.

Example

What it looks like in numbers

Reach of 300,000 with 1,400,000 impressions gives a frequency of 4.7. Above four, response usually drops and annoyance rises — the budget is better moved to a new audience.

In practice

Where this shows up

Pages where Frequency is not explained but used — in a channel’s mechanics, in a launch breakdown or in a report.
