What is the main goal of using target ratings points (TRPs)?

  1. To maximize overall ad reach to all demographics

  2. To ensure only the relevant audience is measured

  3. To lower overall advertising costs

  4. To increase advertising frequency

The correct answer is: To ensure only the relevant audience is measured

The main goal of using target ratings points (TRPs) is to ensure that only the relevant audience is measured. TRPs focus on the specific target demographic that an advertiser aims to reach, allowing for a more precise assessment of ad performance among that group. This approach helps advertisers understand how effectively their campaigns are resonating with the intended audience, rather than measuring the broader reach that may include individuals who are not part of the target market. By honing in on the relevant audience, advertisers can make more informed decisions about their media strategies and optimize their advertising efforts to achieve better engagement and effectiveness. In contrast, maximizing overall ad reach to all demographics might dilute the effectiveness of a campaign if it includes individuals who are not part of the desired target audience. Lowering overall advertising costs is generally an objective associated with budget management rather than a direct goal of assessing audience effectiveness through TRPs. Increasing advertising frequency could be a tactic used within the broader strategy but does not encapsulate the primary aim of TRPs, which is about audience measurement and targeting.
