The formula to calculate unique reach (UR) is:
\[ UR = \frac{I}{F} \]
Where:
Unique reach is a metric used in advertising to estimate the number of distinct individuals who have seen an advertisement at least once during a given campaign period. Unlike total impressions, which can include multiple views by the same individuals, unique reach provides insight into the breadth of the advertisement's audience. A higher unique reach indicates a broader audience and more effective campaign reach.
Consider an example where:
Using the formula to calculate unique reach:
\[ UR = \frac{5000}{5} = 1000 \]
This means that the unique reach for this example is \( 1000 \) distinct individuals.
