Ad frequency refers to the number of times an advertisement appears to a user during a particular period. It is one of the critical metrics that advertisers use to evaluate their advertising campaigns' success. Ad frequency affects brand recall, recognition, and purchase intent.

What is Ad Frequency?

Ad frequency indicates how many times users see an ad over time. The higher the ad frequency, the more often your target audience sees your messages. As such, it increases your chances of getting noticed.

Why Does Ad Frequency Matter?

Ad frequency matters for several reasons:

• It helps establish brand associations: When users see your ads frequently, they begin to associate them with your brand.
• Improves engagement: High-frequency ads improve click-through rates (CTR) because users are familiar with them.
• Boosts conversion rates: Frequent exposure leads to increased trust between brands and consumers resulting in better conversion rates.

How Is Ad Frequency Measured?

To measure ad frequency:

1. Choose a specific timeframe
2. Calculate impressions from each viewer/ad
3. Divide total impressions by unique viewers

The result gives you an average number indicating how many times each viewer saw or interacted with the ad during that specified period.

Advertising Frequency vs Advertising Reach

Advertising reach represents potential unique viewership while ad frequency measures actual exposures per person within this group over time.

Ad Repetition

Ad repetition refers to the number of times an ad is repeated to each user. It is calculated per person and helps track how often an advertiser shows particular adverts repeatedly within a short duration.

What Are The Benefits Of Ad Repetition?

• Keep Brands Top-of-Mind: A higher frequency allows your target audience members to keep your products/services at their top-of-mind awareness level.
• Higher Engagement Rates: Frequent exposure leads consumers to engage with brands more frequently
• Better Conversion Rates: Users who see ads multiple times become familiar with the product/service resulting in greater likelihoods of conversion

Ad Exposure

In advertising, exposure means that many people saw and interacted or engaged with ad campaigns over time. There are two kinds of ad exposures:

1. Unique visitors - which measure individual usernames
2. Impressions - impressions count total views regardless if visited by same user id's twice
