| Campaign | Reach (%) | Frequency | GRP | Cost | CPP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Regional TV Burst | 62 | 3.4 | 210.8 | 22000 | 104.36 |
| National Radio Flight | 48 | 4.1 | 196.8 | 14500 | 73.68 |
| Mixed Media Plan | 71 | 3.0 | 213.0 | 26800 | 125.82 |
Primary GRP formula: GRP = Reach (%) × Average Frequency
Alternative schedule formula: GRP = Number of Spots × Rating Per Spot
Estimated impressions: Impressions = (GRP ÷ 100) × Audience Universe
Cost Per Point: CPP = Campaign Cost ÷ GRP
CPM: CPM = Campaign Cost ÷ (Impressions ÷ 1000)
GRP measures total advertising pressure delivered against a target market. It can exceed 100 because duplicated exposures count toward total weight.
GRP stands for Gross Rating Points. It measures total advertising weight delivered to a target audience. Higher GRP usually means stronger campaign pressure, though effectiveness still depends on creative quality, targeting, timing, and channel mix.
Reach counts how many people saw the campaign at least once. GRP combines reach with average frequency. Because repeated exposures count, GRP can exceed 100, while reach percentage cannot exceed the full target audience.
GRP includes duplicated exposures. For example, if 50 percent of the audience sees an ad four times, the campaign delivers 200 GRPs. That does not mean more than everyone was reached, only that exposure repeated.
Use that method when planning television or radio schedules from media ratings. If you know the average rating for each spot and the number of placements, multiplying them gives total schedule weight quickly.
A good target depends on market size, category competition, objective, and budget. Brand launches often need heavier GRP than reminder campaigns. Use historical results, test markets, and cost efficiency to judge the right level.
CPP means Cost Per Point. It shows how much you pay for each GRP delivered. Lower CPP usually indicates more efficient media buying, assuming audience quality and campaign fit remain similar across options.
Yes, as a planning framework. Digital marketers often translate impressions, reach, and frequency into GRP-like measures for cross-channel comparison. It is most useful when evaluating total pressure across television, audio, and digital video.
No. GRP measures delivery pressure, not business outcome. Pair it with conversions, sales lift, brand recall, response rate, CPM, CPP, and frequency distribution to understand whether the media plan actually worked.
