What does Gross Rating Points (GRPs) indicate in advertising?

Total sales generated
Total audience reach
Total coverage and weight of an advertising schedule
Total cost of advertisements

The correct answer is: Total coverage and weight of an advertising schedule

Gross Rating Points (GRPs) are a key metric in advertising that measure the total exposure of an advertising campaign to an audience. Specifically, GRPs quantify the overall visibility and impact of an advertising schedule by combining two critical components: the percentage of the target audience that is reached (reach) and the frequency with which they are exposed to the advertisement. By calculating GRPs, marketers can assess the total coverage and weight of the advertisement over a specified time period. This helps advertisers understand how effectively they are reaching their intended audience and how often that audience is encountering their ads. A higher GRP indicates a more extensive reach and weight of the advertisement, providing valuable insights for adjusting marketing strategies and optimizing the advertising budget. The other options do not accurately reflect what GRPs measure. Total sales generated refers to revenue outcomes, audience reach pertains to only the percentage of the target demographic reached without considering frequency, and total cost of advertisements involves financial expenditure rather than campaign effectiveness in terms of exposure. Thus, the correct understanding of GRPs centers around their role in assessing the extensive reach and cumulative impact of an advertising effort.
