There are several terms that must be differentiated:

Gross Range

It is the total number of all users who have access to a communication medium, a newspaper for example. Without paying attention to the exact number of people who use it in the end.

Net Reach

Represents the number of people who use the communication medium.

Qualitative Gross Scope and Net Scope

To establish the quality of the scope, the net scope is considered. For example:

An advertiser runs their ad for vegetarian "meat" and substitutes for animal products in the newspaper. The newspaper is sold 50,000 times but only 10% of the readers are vegetarian. In this way, the qualitative gross reach is only 5,000 people.

Impressions Range

Despite the fact that the printing industry has been declining considerably over time, almost 70% of Germans still read the newspaper, especially national news. At the same time, newspapers have developed and offer their material also through the network to increase the reach among readers.

Scope of Social Networks

Facebook, Google+ and other social networks offer advertisers the opportunity to expand their advertising messages. The more friends a user has and the more pages they are following, the more advertisements they will receive through de Facebook newsfeed. Facebook selects by means of a special algorithm which articles are the most relevant to the user and displays them. This dynamic of selective commercial promotion increases the chances that the ad will truly be interesting for the user and, in this way, generate an impact. Apart from this, those ads that are not considered relevant and that do not get the user to select them are eliminated and lose their position.

More and more users are trying to increase the scope of their commercial promotion through the following measures:

  • Sponsors articles and Facebook ads
  • Improve article timing
  • Relevant publications with added value
  • Review individual item success statistics
  • More interaction with users
