Outdoor advertising measurement

There are numerous methods for measuring outdoor advertising effectiveness. Metrics often include both media indicators and additional business indicators.

Business indicators allow assessing the direct impact of outdoor advertising. In order to assess advertising campaign impact on the business, it is necessary to set the planned figures (depending on the campaign goals) and analyze the results before and after the campaign.

Campaign goals:

  1. Drive sales/initial purchase
  2. Increase brand awareness
  3. Create brand identity

 

Industry standards define quantitative metrics of an advertising campaign:

  1. Opportunity to see (OTS)
  2. Rating point (RP)
  3. Gross rating point (GRP)
  4. City coverage (Reach)
  5. Frequency

 

How to use these metrics:

  1. What is the effective frequency?
  2. What should be the volume of the advertising campaign?
  3. How many panels grant an optimal level of visual presence?

OTSOpportunity to see

OTS

Opportunity to see

OTS = traffic × reduction
factors

OTS is a measure which denotes the number of times the viewer is most likely to see the advertisement. E. g., if the daily OTS of the campaign is 2,100, this means that on average 2,100,000 impressions on the selected number of panels will be delivered daily.

Reduction factors:

  • Contact time
  • Panel height
  • Clutter
  • Viewing angle
  • Line of sight obstructions
  • Distance to traffic lights
  • Offset from the main traffic line
  • Competing panels

RPRating point

RP

Rating point

RP = OTS / population 18+ × 100%

Daily rating of one panel.

This metric determines the proportion of the city’s population that had the opportunity to see advertising during the day.

GRPGross rating point

GRP

Gross rating point

GRP = RP1 + RP2 + RP3 + ... + RPn

GRP is the total rating of all panels carrying the advertising campaign. The higher the GRP, the higher the coverage.

ReachCity coverage

Reach

City coverage

Reach = GRP / Frequency

Reach is the number of representatives of the target audience who actually saw the advertising.

The number of people who saw the advertising is calculated only once, regardless of the number of panels with the same creative that were viewed by them. The coverage may be increased by attracting new viewers.

FrequencyAdvertising frequency

Frequency

Advertising frequency

Frequency = GRP / Reach

Frequency: how often the target audience could see the advertising for a certain period of time.

Average frequency is calculated by analyzing the patterns of daily movements of the target audience in the city.

Effective frequency

According to Seeing is Believing white paper by TAB (USA, 2007), the probability of seeing a specific panel is increasing with every next trip past it:

  • 1st trip — up to 60%
  • 2nd trip — up to 84%
  • 3rd trip — up to 94%
  • 4th trip — up to 99%

This knowledge allows you to properly plan the volume and period of the advertising campaign, depending on the business goals.
