The Formula and Example
Before we dive into complexities, let’s get straight to the point: What is cost per reach, and how do we calculate it?
The formula to calculate cost per reach is incredibly simple: CPR = TC / R
Where:
- CPR is the cost per reach
- TC is the total advertising cost
- R is the total reach (unique people)
Example: If you spend $25,000 on advertising and reach 50,000 unique people, the cost per reach is: CPR = $25,000 / 50,000 CPR = $0.50 per unique person reached
