What the result means
CPM measures the cost of buying 1,000 impressions. Low CPM helps awareness, but excessive frequency can create creative fatigue and wasted impressions.
CPM = Ad Spend ÷ Impressions × 1,000; Reach = Impressions ÷ Frequency
Use CPM with CTR and engagement rate to decide whether impressions are cheap and useful, or simply low-quality.
Example calculation
With $1,000 spend and 200,000 impressions, CPM is $5. If frequency is 2.5, estimated reach is 80,000 people.
Tips for better results
- Improve the first three seconds of each video.
- Refresh creative before fatigue increases CPC or CPA.
- Use clear captions, product proof, and direct CTAs.
- Segment prospecting, retargeting, and high-intent audiences.
