9. Target Audience
Issues
How do we effectively define TA in media terms ?
Is the TA same in all markets ?
Is the TA same for theme and scheme ?
10. Identifying the Target Audience
Demographic variables
Sex, Income, Age, SEC, Occupation, Marital Status etc.
Socio-psychographic variables
Lifestyles, Attitudes etc.
Product usage variables
Heavy/Medium/Light or Non-users
What is our source of business?
Category/Competitors, Sole/Primary/Secondary/Non-users
Need to address multiple segments
End consumers, Decision Makers, Influencers, Buyers

17. Market Prioritization
Issues
How important is each market for the brand ?
How responsive is each market to media ?
What are the non-media factors that influence
sale in each market ?
18. What do we need to do for Market
Prioritization?
Look at the Distribution
Look at Brand Volumes
Brand/Category Development
Competitive Advertising
Past history of market’s performance
Sales force input
Local market quirks
Media cost
National delivery in local markets
19. Market Opportunity Index (MOI)
Brand Development Index (BDI)
Ratio of brand consumption intensity to population intensity
i.e . % local market brand sales
% local market population
Category Development Index (CDI)
Ratio of category consumption intensity to population intensity
i.e. % local market category sales
% local market population
Market Opportunity Index (MOI)
Ratio of CDI to BDI
20. Using BDI, CDI & MOI
Strategy
Key Priority Areas
High BDI and high CDI
Strong markets; invest in and build on them, minimising risk and
maximising potential
High BDI and low CDI
Maintain current ad spend levels and react in line with competition
High Potential Areas
MOI > 1
Opportunity areas, where category is strong, but brand is weak. Invest
after looking at distribution, growth, media strengths
22. Media-Weight
Issues
How much is enough ?
How much in first week, and how much in later weeks ?
How much on each advertisement if two of them run
parallel ?
23. Setting Media Weights
Set Effective Reach
Set Effective Freq
Determine the number of
exposures the consumer needs to
get in a purchase cycle
Determine the point where cost
of incremental reach is exorbitant
• These are the building blocks of Media Weights
• These vary by market and by brand
• These could vary by Theme V/s Promo
25. 3 Guiding factors

TARGET AUDIENCE
Definition : The demographic group that has been identified as
the key consumer group for the brand. All
marketing/advertising activities are concentrated on
reaching/appealing to this group.

39. How a TV Rating is measured .......
Using People-o-meters:-
Meter
Research Company
* Research company determines representative sample
* “Meters” installed
* Individual householder details recorded
* Householder “pushes button” when watching - Recorded as a viewer
* Data on-line to research company
Handset
* *
40. Using the Diary Method :-
Research company determines representative sample
Weekly diaries circulated
Panel members complete diary
Instructed to complete on a daily basis
Research company has no control over panel
Could be completed just prior to collection
Accuracy dependent upon memorizing viewing habits
Diaries collected and processed by research company
How a TV Rating is measured .......
41. People-o-meter vs. Diary
PEOPLE METER
Based on actual viewing
Push button technology
High degree of Accuracy
Minute by minute GRPs
Immediate Results
Ability to monitor new stations
quickly
Guest Viewing Facility
On-line access providing cross
tabulations
Increased targeting options
Reach & frequency data
DIARY
Based on recalled viewing
Manual self completion
Less accurate
1/4 hour GRPs
2/3 week delay in reporting
results
Panel viewing only
Paper access only
Delay in reporting new stations
Lack of targeting options
Limited reach & frequency data
42. Definition : The percentage of the target audience who saw
the programme/commercial
1 rating point = 1% of the target audience.
Formula : Audience Achieved ÷ Defined Universe (x 100) = Rating
In Practice : 18-40 yrs Women watching Prog. A - 1,110,000
18-40 yrs Universe - 2,750,000
Rating - 40%
Question: If 9,00,000 Housewives saw our commercial during
programme “X” and the universe for Housewives is 36 lakhs, what
rating did we achieve?
Television Rating Point (TRP)
43. Gross Rating Points (GRP)
Definition : The sum of all ratings achieved in a campaign.
(Note : GRP levels are generally measured and
reported on a 4 week basis.)
In Practice : Our commercial appeared in the following
programmes :
Programme Rating
Serial 1 32
Serial 2 21
Movie 18
Sport 24
News 15

- 110 GRPs achieved
Question: How many GRP’s would be achieved by a campaign with two
spots in a movie (achieving 21% rating on one occasion
& 25% rating on the other), a spot in a serial (achieving
a 18% rating) & a spot in the News (achieving 16% rating)?

Coverage (Net Reach)
Question: If we did not have the News on the above schedule, how
many GRPs and what Reach would this campaign achieve?
GRPs - 95
Reach - 59%
45. Reach:
As insertions/ spots are added to the media schedule, only the audience
not previously exposed to the message are added to the reach total
Thus, once a person is counted as reached, that person is not counted
again no matter how many times the person is exposed to the vehicle
To cut a long story short…Reach is always unduplicated
46. Definition : The number of times, on average, the audience
reached sees the commercial during a given period.
Formula : Average Frequency = Total GRPs ÷ Reach or
GRPs = Reach x Average Frequency
In Practice : 110 GRPs ÷ 63% Reach = 1.75 Average Frequency
Therefore, 63% of the target audience will see
the commercial on average 1.75 times during the
given period.

Question: If your cost per GRP was Rs 10,000 and your budget was
Rs 12 lakhs for the month, how many GRPs would you
expect to buy?
Cost Per Rating Point (CPRP)
49. Definition : The cost of reaching 1000 individuals within the
