A basic premise of frequency value planning states that advertisers should?

  1. Use various types of scheduling

  2. Select a media schedule generating the most exposure value per gross rating point

  3. Use a minimum of three different media

  4. Focus solely on frequency

The correct answer is: Select a media schedule generating the most exposure value per gross rating point

Frequency value planning is a strategic approach to media buying that emphasizes maximizing the effectiveness of ad spending through optimal exposure. The reasoning behind selecting a media schedule that generates the most exposure value per gross rating point lies in the understanding that not all impressions are equally valuable. By focusing on exposure value, advertisers can ensure that their message reaches the target audience not just frequently, but effectively, potentially leading to higher engagement and conversion rates. This approach encourages examining not only how often an advertisement is seen, but also the quality and relevance of the placements. By selecting media that delivers the highest exposure relative to rating points, advertisers can optimize their campaigns for better performance and more efficient use of their budget. While using various types of scheduling, employing multiple media channels, or focusing solely on frequency have their merits, the essence of frequency value planning centers around the value derived from each impression and ensuring that the overall media strategy aligns with maximizing that value.
